[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;50256812]I...like it It's the badguy pistol of the 80s and I want one.[/QUOTE] But it looks so different from your standard pistol. And the way I've experienced it, different is usually worse.
it looks like a calico and a tec-9 mixed together

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks as though it's just a Tec-9 with the grip moved up so you get the magazine inside the pistol grip?
the whole uh... "upper receIver" (?) looks much too narrow to be a copy/paste of tec-9's. definitely same-ish style though
[QUOTE=AtomicSans;50258037]Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks as though it's just a Tec-9 with the grip moved up so you get the magazine inside the pistol grip?[/QUOTE] Completely different design and reasoning aside from the similar looking bolts. The TEC-9 was a shortening of the MP-9, a shitty, cheap sub-machine gun that literally no-one wanted. Interdynamic AB, the Swedes responsible for taking the Carl Gustav M/45 and somehow managing to concoct this shitty SMG made out of polymer and some steel, realized no-one wanted the hunk of shit and started trying to sell it as an open-bolt semi-automatic pistol (the KG-9) in the US come 1983-4. Now, the ATF didn't like this, and demanded they change the bolt mechanism so it wasn't so easy to make full auto. So they made it a blowback operated, closed bolt semi-automatic pistol (the KG-99). The KG-9 and KG-99 could only use 115 grain 9mm (because awful design meant that the shitty plastic frame would fail and/or break using heavier grains or hot ammo), so modifications were made that resulted in the TEC-9, AB-10, and after the Cleveland School massacre, the TEC-DC9 ("Designed for California", lmao). On the other hand, the Claridge Hi-Tec series (or the Goncz G series, since they're basically the same gun - Claridge added a bolt hold-open on the left side of the receiver) were designed by Hungarian Lajos John Goncz, with an original telescopic bolt that runs on blowback operation, and were always intended as semi-automatic pistols (or carbine rifles) entering production from 1984 (Goncz) and 1990 (Claridge). Also unlike the TEC-9, the Claridge Hi-Tec series includes .45 ACP chambered models. Ultimately, the Claridge Hi-Tec stopped production when it was ALSO banned in California in 1993. Which is the only other thing it shares with the TEC-9.

Video seems to show Russian soldier desert gear. Can't seem to find it anywhere else. [video=youtube;g27BBwj9XAM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g27BBwj9XAM[/video]
I like how they just go for a nice solid color. It might be me, but I love the look of infield uniforms that are not made to look like an old fashion couch.
They're starting to issue those solid tan uniforms out. Even more rare are these Desert EMR/Digital Flora uniforms [t]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CgtkuqLWIAATH-o.jpg:large[/t][t]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CgtkunRWgAAXOpr.jpg:large[/t] Before that many were buying their own desert uniforms [t]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ChOM40uW0AAa169.jpg:large[/t][t]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ChJWGqKWkAAwriE.jpg:large[/t]
Funny how it reminds me of when the US Army and Marines first entered Iraq, in that Cold War Era woodland with some desert camo. And mad max styled humvees You'll think that the Russians would had been more knowledgeable and issue desert camo at the start

The Russians have had an existing desert digital camo uniform for some time used by units representing Russia in CSTO/KSOR [t]http://novodar.ru/images/stories/87871.jpg[/t][t]http://sdrvdv.ru/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/img_ksrtgg.jpg[/t] I wonder why they didn't just issue these out. Maybe they only produced a limited run?
Honestly, compared to the one color uniform, I'd imagine that would make you stick out like a puss-oozing thumb. The one color uniform holds up more in deserts, and with summer on it's way in the middle east, all that you would need to do in order to abuse atmospheric refraction is put bit of light blue paint on random parts of your uniform, alongside some mud crusted on the uniform. [t]http://arcaneafvs.com/a12/a12matilda_001.jpg[/t] At a distance of about 100m to 200m, you'd be near impossible to spot or at-least it would be difficult to put shots on you if you are moving.
That's entirely not what the Caunter pattern on British WWII tanks is about, though. They were painted sand, light green and dark green; as instructed in the field manuals handed out to tank crews. No coloured wartime pictures of the tanks exist to confirm or refute the idea of blue streaks, but they certainly weren't [I]painted[/I] blue. Some theorize that the green colours faded over time to become grey and blue, while others insist that the pattern is a straight-up fabrication. In any event, it wasn't terribly effective; being replaced about a year after being introduced due to it not hiding shit.
Really? Then why did pretty much every country use it. I remember reading the Italians and the Germans did the same thing for the desert campaigns. Didn't the SAS also use some hot-pink jeeps or something as well?

German desert camo tended to be tan over the standard-issue grey; either in a hand-made disruptive pattern or a hand-done attempt at full coverage. Sometimes with brown mixed in. Later, it was just plain dark yellow, as all vehicles left the factory in that scheme. Italian was plain tan, tan/green, tan/brown or tan/grey, depending on model of vehicle. Don't see none of 'em done in any 'odd' colours like what people like to believe the British did. [editline]6th May 2016[/editline] As for the pink, that appears to be a modified truth. Some pink tones, from very sandy to pale pinks were a part of other patterns, and then it's later just sort of been assumed that they were all pink like a god damn Barbie-toy because they contained pink. The picture you see most circulated is a post-war civilian Land Rover mocked up to be some sort of silly LRDG-lookalike.
