need help for new camo
 
What is the best camo you have used. im lookin to buy but i dont know wich kind

666 June 9th, 2007 21:57

Depends on where you are planing to play. If you are planing to play in woodland setting than buy flecktarn or US woodland. Both are cheap at work well. British DPM also works very well.

MadMorbius June 9th, 2007 22:07

Decide the look you want to portray and make your purchases based on that, or determine what camo works best in your area.

swatt13 June 9th, 2007 23:10

you have two choices.
1) as morbius stated, decide what look you want, marine, sf, army ranger, can soldier, brit, uk/ german. and build your kit from there. uk and canadian loadouts are hard to assemble and expensive. american loadouts are a dime a dozen, easy to get, but usually not accurate.

2) as 666 hinted, where are you most likley to play? whats your terrain and environment like.

the two camo's im sold on are multicam and cadpat. i hate cadpat myself, but you cant deny it works very well (in certian environments) and multicam works well in a variety of environments.

Amazing KG3 June 9th, 2007 23:40

All good points, depends on whether you want to emulate an existing role of a military or other force, or what environment you play in.

I myself have a tan/black loadout for arid terrain like a quarry, Woodland for in the woods, but most of the time im in my Multicam because it offers the most universal coverage, in the field im at the most. (beach/forest)

'Not realistic' as in 'not in use by modern forces'.

Anyway, if you decide to go for DPM (temperate or desert) send me a PM, I can get you started with info and some connections ;)

It ain't realistic if you stich on American insignia(no offense Swatt13, Ive seen yer' gear pics and they kick ass, I just don't like multicam).They should call it Airsoftcam, or paintblcam, because only us airsofters and th paintball skrewheads wear it.

If you are into realism avoid multicam.
If you are into re creating a videogame then buy all the multicam you want.



I am not a digi fascist, I just like ACU, I DO WEAR THE OLD WOODLANDS BDU ALSO.

Your statements are not based on fact, Multicam is in use by US forces, just not in general issue.
CP can't keep up with the demand for their stuff from US defense Contractors.. so they have got to be using it somewhere..

I have see several instances in popular media with US forces wearing Multicam...so to say "its fantasy" is not factual.

Hey Mr GOMEZ before this gets out of hand, just go buy some ACU or Cadpat.

Get whatever you feel is what you want, I've always wanted desert gear, but it's never been practical anywhere in Canada with a few games in Quebec exempt. I have CADPAT myself, and as dandy as it is to have it, it's a tad expensive, especially if your after the quality Issue stuff. It's personal preference, I used to be practicality based, now I'm leaning more towards and impression based camoflage.

redhawk_six June 15th, 2007 20:55

Multicam IS issue. Real CP multicam is issued by the US Army to soldiers in the Future Combat Systems program.

While I agree that multicam is not the most attractive camo out there, attraction has nothing to do with it. It is fairly effective in a number of enviroments.

Airsoft kits shouldnt be as much about whats 100% realistic as it should be about what you like and what works.

Have to admit, ACU works pretty decently in urban concrete environments when it's dirtied up. Aside from that, it won't work anywhere else except your gay cousin's '70s theme wedding, mixed in with the babyblue tuxedo'd wedding party.

Shit, you can't even wear it in Walmart and hide, too much MARPAT around on the hangers.

Multicam is great and unless you play in an old sandy dusty city, avoid ACU !!

In Prince george we tried it and are all agree that it doesn't work here.

See the white ghosts ? ACU

3 guys in ACU, one in Multicam...

BTW if you still want ACU, I'm selling mine :D

MadMorbius June 16th, 2007 00:18

ACU doesn't work. Not here, not anywhere there's foliage. Sorry, maybe it works for you in your area, but it's just about the worst thing going these days and is anything BUT "Universal".

Multicam works (there, I said it) but it's not "multi". It needs very specific circumstances, like ANY pattern.

I'm sick of going over this same debate once a year. Wear whatever the fuck you want, and swear up and down about how effective it is. Doesn't fucking matter.

Capt. Tyco June 16th, 2007 00:25

I would say go with a nice digital cam like marpat.

I too have multicam and I would have to agree with Morbius. I could never get it to work well in the forest.

just my 2 cents.

Spawn28 June 16th, 2007 00:38

Would help if ya gave us an idea where you were playing indoors/outdoors City/Dessert/Forest?

Yeah, issued for the future warrior demo guys.

Does anyone in MB,SK or ALB. wear either Arid Marpat or Arid Cadpat, Curious to know how these sand tone uniforms work in a less traditional enviroment.

Once Cadpat fades it looks like shit, but when it's new it ain't bad.

Future warrior doesnt exsist any more, hasnt for a while. That was just a Natick demo, what they dreamed the future would be.

Future Combat Systems is the development program for the Army's future weapon systems. They use multicam, soldiers in the test platoons are issued full multicam kits including CP Range Vest (for garrison use), MICH Cover, CP Armour Chassis with pouches, CP Combat Pants and CP Combat Shirt. These are real Infantry combat platoons being issued multicam.

I would take multicam over ACU any day. The people who developed ACU must of been color blind. Thats the only reason I can come up with for them thinking grey would work as camo.

Pick what you want to wear DON'T ask this question on this forum, unless you actually want to read a 5 page thread about the realisticality (just made that word up) or Fakiality (that one too) of multicam or how acu looks like they made camo out of stuff they found in a paper shreader....etc.

Jeasus sakes,
I am bored with this shit.

Did casey brokeback make another account or something? Don't mess with this guy he is highly skilled in VIP protection and uses airsoft for marksmanship training! :D lets just say people wearing ACU will always be one step ahead of us......when we start fighting on the moon.

Back on topic, go with olive drab with coyote brown accesories, its pretty kick ass!

Brian McIlmoyle June 18th, 2007 16:32

The best...
 
I like a lot of options, and I like lots of pockets...

so this is what I have done,

I wear standard old school CF OD green pants ( quick dry, cool, cheap ) and I have purchased a number of different smocks or shirts to top it off,

so far I have,

Tiger stripe, 3 flavours of Russian, 2 DPM, 1 Flectarn, and woodland

I kinda like the "irregular" look of the OD pants with camo top and gives me a lot of variety for about 2/3 the cost of complete outfits of each.

ThunderCactus June 18th, 2007 17:07

ACU sucks in the day, but its by far the most proffessional looking camo, really makes you look like you know what you're doing lol
If you know how to hide you could be wearing hunter orange overalls and still take out a few people.
ACU works incredibly well at night though, blends right into moonlight and lighter patches, you can lay down in an open field and people can walk within 5 feet and not see you. It's better to be a blueish greyish blob than a black blob

And this is the thing that many forget when tearing down ACU .. the USA owns the night... it makes complete sense for their camo to be optimized for darkness... Color does not mean squat after dark.. its is contrast and disruptive patterns that make the difference after dark. ACU is low contrast.. and disruptive... at night you are a ghost..

Airsofters are mostly afraid of the dark...so they only experience ACU in the full light of day...

Casey Who?

VIP Protection, I really don't give a shit who they are or what they do this thread is about what is the best camo (ACU). Last time I checked this was an airsoft forum, not a "what you do for a living forum".


Hey Thunder Cactus, seeing how you support ACU and the fact that you are on JSOC I assume you wear ACU, Just wondering what your opinion was on vest color for an acu kit> Coyote BRN. O.D. or ACU.

ThunderCactus June 18th, 2007 20:16

coyote TAN, desert tan to some extent, and ACU for effectiveness
if you want realism you can mix and match OD pouches in there lol
the ACU looks alot better for a complete kit...

http://photos-879.ak.facebook.com/ph...31879_1052.jpg

coyote TAN also works fairly well, mainly because its designed to be standard issue for all US camouflages (woodland, OD, ACU, marpat, etc), I haven't seen many other companies produce it but I know blackhawk makes pretty well everything in coyote tan.
Coyote brown is darker and stands out a bit more from ACU, but it works. Try to get solid color items (like toques and gloves) in foliage green, and don't wear any black because it provides way too much contrast.
I'll post up pics of my LMG vest which will have tan, coyote brown and coyote tan elements, as soon as my pouches get here O_O

Thanks, ThunderCactus I got a ACU Molle vest now but I was thinking of escalating up to a repro Spear vest in either ACU of Coyote. Your imput has been most helpful probly going to go with ACU. Great Picture BTW!



Also BEST camo for saskatchewan=> lol
