ACU is stupid as fuck.
Digital camos based on a particular environment are quite impressive, though...
I got (What I think is) an old WWII 50 cal. metal ammo box in a trade.
I don't really want it. I mean it's a nice box! A bit rusty on the outside but inside it's fine and the locking latch is still nice and strong. I think you could remove the surface rust, or leave it as it is.
Anyone interested in buying it? I found some like it on Ebay for 30-40$, I'd like to get 20 for it

You don't want it? You only think you'll get 20 for it? Dude...where's your patriotism?

I won't go any higher than 5 bald eagles...
If you clean off the rust, I will give you $30 for it.

It's just a box. Don't tell me you're hoarding on shells aswell.

I'd rather have 20$
I can't eat a box, but with good old american money I can feed myself for a week
God damm ACU was for the Afghan mountains were it actually works, USMC got camo right MARPAT is sexy as hell
[QUOTE=papu2;33566710]Don't you think this is a bit retro equipment?[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=papu2;33569752]Digital camo is muuch much more advanced than the older camos, And i'm sure you can find norwegian digital camo somewhere. But then again if you're into reactments then i'm sure the old stuff will work just fine.[/QUOTE]
Only "retro" thing there is the helmet as it has been replaced by kevlar helmets.
The jacket is the way it is because it has the right camo for the flora, along with the uniform. Norway will most likely never use digital, there's not really any digital camo that easily blends into thick norwegian forest.
We've had that pattern in at least 40 years, only thing that has been changed is the gradient, and there's a reason for that.
Ya know what... I really like Flektarn.

The forest is prety much the same on this part of the globe, Digital camos were a great improvement for us. Now, digital camos don't really grow on trees - Someone has to research and develope it, Because you haven't found existing one that would perfectly fit your enviroment doesn't mean you cannot make one.

Why the fuck would we design and use "digital camouflage" when our old pattern is already doing extremely well?
[QUOTE=Honesty;33578242]Why the fuck would we design and use "digital camouflage" when our old pattern is already doing extremely well?[/QUOTE]
Analog is sooo 20th century.
The real reason for digital camo is because when you are looking at it through iron sights it creates an optical illusion and fucks with your eyes, and you can't focus.

Because of what i've just said.
Guys, it's a gun chat thread. Lets make a new camo thread if we want to hate on each others personal preferences.
Oh God so much snow!

The sad thing is, I could see Infinity Ward doing something this stupid and degrading to the weapon.
Looks like an AK drum.
Anyhoo moving away from the depressing CoD stupidity, AMD 65's are surprisingly nice.

Have always wanted an AMD. Where did you get it?
[QUOTE=felix the cat;33596888]Have always wanted an AMD. Where did you get it?[/QUOTE]
This... this is the question that must be answered! May I even go so far as to ask for a overall review of the AMD.
[QUOTE=felix the cat;33596888]Have always wanted an AMD. Where did you get it?[/QUOTE]
I didn't say I got one.
I got a chance to go handle and really look one over at one my local stores.
The charging handle was hella smooth and there was surprisingly no wobble in its flimsy looking stock. When I put it to my shoulder everything lined up nicely. The forward grip on it definetly helps. Because it's pretty damn front heavy as you would expect by looking at it.
I think they're a good cut above the serious hit-miss QC of bog standard WASR-10s. And they're not that expensive, the one if I read the scribbly handwriting correctly was $550.
If I was going to put an overall pricetag when it comes to getting GOOD magazines and GOOD blammo for it. Add it all together it's in the $800 arena (minimum from my mental inventory guesstimates).
I'd have gotten it if I wasn't so stricken for dosh and flying out to England in a few days.
That's still really awesome
[editline]6th December 2011[/editline]
Well my hopes and dreams have been crushed. A quick look on gunbroker yielded a "[B]CANNOT SHIP TO MICHIGAN[/B]" on every AMD listing :suicide:
I know. Here in CT we are not allowed to own a 7.62 Variant AK. But, we can own 5.45 AK74's and 5.56 AK variants... So I will one day be getting a tantal and throwing a fixed stock on it.
