doc_newstead Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 You may or may not know that I own 1 or 2 items of British DPM. Well anyway, I wouldn't mind branching out a little now, and I was wondering if the collectors amongst you could hook a brother up. I want: - Something that isn't DPM - Is relatively cheap - Goes well with OD kit A lot of you will say Flecktarn, and I like Flecktarn, but I don't think I could do it justice. And I'd be using an M16. So it'd just upset you as well So win me over Sell me your favourite camo. I want to know where I can get it (in good nick, and a good range of sizes), how much it costs & why you like it. The current contender is a shop I've found that sells Danish M84 camo for £65 (full set). The bar has been set gentlemen Link to post Share on other sites

sadigh Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 ACU camo from www.optac.com Link to post Share on other sites
FarEast Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 OK JGSDF (Japanese Ground Self Defence Force) Camo, why? Well it can go with any weapon system, The JGSDF use: MP5 M16 M4 M14 M90 P90 G3A3 Type 89 And several others, It's rare as hell in Europe and you'll be assured no other person will be wearing it. Compared to other countries 'Tactical' Clothing its cheaper as well. Link to post Share on other sites
tangman Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 You can get ACU at USMC www.usmcpro.com Why?? It isnt multicam Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltSky Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 I have a personal fondness for BGS for some reason. It stands out (In a good way ) and is rather good in spring/autumn. I haven't seen anyone use it in summer or agains very green backgrounds so I can't comment on that. Flectarn.co.uk do a full set of BDUs but you might have trouble getting helmet covers etc http://www.flecktarn.co.uk/productsexo.html#bgs Link to post Share on other sites
stuka Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 I think dansih M84 is very cool, go for that Link to post Share on other sites
Melonfish Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Russian, all the way. they've got millions of styles and all work with OD no probs. its cheap as chips and even better if you know an actual ruskie like i do. current exchange rate is £1 - 50 rubles. you can easily pick up a new set of BDU's for around 300 rubles or something. to a russian thats damned expensive to us its pittance. pete Link to post Share on other sites

Spedz Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 M98 camo (Finnish camo) They also use a C8 which is basically a armalite ; ) Far east You don't have a source for the JGSDF camo do you? Link to post Share on other sites
HaVoC Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 CADPAT or M84 Link to post Share on other sites
CapaciousZepher Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Multicam or CADPAT. Cheers! - CapaciousZepher Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 That's funny, since I can't find Finnish camo.... Link to post Share on other sites
DrJackal Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Some fine suggestions here, but the AUG user (and thus lovers of all things Aussie) within me suggests AUSCAM. It works well with OD, effective where I live (though the Southern US is a bit different that the UK), matches an M16 and is certainly unique. Militarycraft.com has them.

rhino Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Olive Drab (well you DID say in your first post) - Something that isn't DPM - Is relatively cheap - Goes well with OD kit Olive drab goes with any type of loadout. It's cheap, goes with camo/black/more olive, goes well in woodland and you can get tons of gear/accessories in OD that you'd otherwise have to try and source in the camo you've currently got. My 2 cents anywho Link to post Share on other sites
Full Metal Jacket Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 M98 camo (Finnish camo) They also use a C8 which is basically a armalite ; ) Far east You don't have a source for the JGSDF camo do you? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> M98 and C8's are used by NORWEGIAN forces, not finnish. Also, forget the M98, they're nearly impossible to get a hold of anymore. *badgeress*. Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted June 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Ok den, here we go: Urban Dpm Ahem, no ACU at TAII we had a mix of OD and Tan gear with it I thought about it, but I cba going down that road of MICH RACK CIRAS RAID MOLLE TT HSGI l@@k Buy It Now, etc. And it looks a bit wanky. GO RUSSIAN Well that's one option. We'll put that to the side for a second, though how it would 'go well with an M16', I couldn't say. How about JSDF, camo? I'm assuming this would be a FarEast special? One to consider at least. I have a personal fondness for BGS for some reason. Retro Cadpat. I've had trouble finding the real stuff. Looked into once, but the shipping ended up more than the parcel itself! Still, I have always wanted some... Multicam Cheap? Goes well with OD?! Some fine suggestions here, but the AUG user (and thus lovers of all things Aussie) within me suggests AUSCAM. I was about to say 'Hell no', but that's a pretty good price... Olive Drab Could do. There's plenty to choose from at least. Somebody also suggested Central European camo. Maybe a little too similar to what I already have. Ok peeps, I'll chew over the matter, and let you know what I decide upon Link to post Share on other sites
