[QUOTE=Inafinus :3;26530295]Guys, there is no "noob" camo, all camouflage patterns are designed to keep you concealed, [I][B][U]just because a lot of new people wear it because its readily available[/U][/B][/I] doesn't mean its nooby.[/QUOTE] That's pretty much exactly what we meant by "noob camo". It's usually erryone's first camo. Although, mine was 6 color desert, followed by MARPAT, and third was M81.
my 1st camo was teh.. uh meity1
[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;26527680]I don't understand how anyone can use Multicam. I may have, but the one huge reason I never took the leap was the price. Who in their right fucking minds would pay an extra $30-$40 in trademarks?[/QUOTE] Wait, it costs more? What trademarks? I didn't know that. One of my local surplus shops has it. I'm fairly certain it's the same price as the others... [QUOTE]The way I see it, the only camo readily available for Tac-Gear and such are ACU, MARPAT, Multi-Cam and M81. Everything else is bordering on obscure. You can't get gear in MARPAT, but CB/Tan/Khaki works just fine with it.[/QUOTE] This is why I use an OD green plate carrier. The color goes well with almost anything (in some of those early Iraq invasion photos, you can see troops in desert camo with green/woodland vests, and it looked like it worked well enough). [QUOTE=Timebomb757;26527853]Its the noob camo because it costs next to nothing, and is ridiculously common and easy to come by. And due to those factors, most noobs wear it, and it has become the standard "my first camo pattern".[/QUOTE] I'd think it's so common because the military has largely stopped using it and is/was trying to ditch their supplies. At the point of "everyone has it," though, wouldn't it also mean that M4s are n00b because a lot of people have them? They're a good platform: not fugly, medium size to accomodate basically anyone, a good upgrade platform that can fill many roles, ect. [QUOTE=Inafinus :3;26530295]Guys, there is no "noob" camo, all camouflage patterns are designed to keep you concealed, just because a lot of new people wear it because its readily available doesn't mean its nooby. Do you think Armies are nooby because loads of the people enlisted in them wear the same camo? Get over it. Camo is camo and that's that.[/QUOTE] This. [QUOTE=venom;26533727]That's pretty much exactly what we meant by "noob camo". It's usually erryone's first camo. Although, mine was 6 color desert, followed by MARPAT, and third was M81.[/QUOTE] Again, nothing wrong with it, even if it is common. If it works, why is it noob? Because you're more experienced and pride yourself on using desert camo in a forest to be less typical, when a noob decides to use something sensible that [I]works[/I] instead? This is probably coming off more harsh than I mean to be, but you seem to have a problem with something that's perfectly fine. Most people's first airsoft gun (at least, real AEGs) was a...boing, M4. Common, downright overused, but [I]hardly[/I] noob. I have two Stoner-type weapons in my armory, and I'm getting ready to add a third. And I use M81 woodland. Proudly. But I'm not a noob anymore. When I chose the M81 (and believe me, I had other options), I picked it for utility reasons, not because it was cheap or abundant. I also like how it looks, but that was second fiddle to practicality.
[QUOTE=venom;26533727]That's pretty much exactly what we meant by "noob camo". It's usually erryone's first camo. Although, mine was 6 color desert, followed by MARPAT, and third was M81.[/QUOTE] Why would you go from MARPAT to M81? That's like a step backwards.
[QUOTE=Taepodong-2;26534624]Why would you go from MARPAT to M81? That's like a step backwards.[/QUOTE] M81 looks more badass to me.
My dad's OD flight suit was my first :smug: [editline]hur[/editline] I should make a pilot loadout for shits and giggles
[QUOTE=venom;26534642]M81 looks more badass to me.[/QUOTE] And digital camo is useless for a regular infantry/rifleman role anyway.
My first was 3-color desert, then M81, now I'm probably going to get some MARPAT. Actually my very first was blue BDUs with a black vest.
[QUOTE=Jenkem;26535137]And digital camo is useless for a regular infantry/rifleman role anyway.[/QUOTE] Why?
[QUOTE=Jenkem;26535137]And digital camo is useless for a regular infantry/rifleman role anyway.[/QUOTE] Are you.. being sarcastic? I'm almost certain MARPAT is more effective than M81, I just don't think it looks as badass. :v:
I think M81 can look very badass when used properly.
like when venom and i use it we sex up the h00d

NICE garry the hair i mean
Flora is more badass than M81.

[QUOTE=Taepodong-2;26536337]Flora is more badass than M81.[/QUOTE] Fuck, I can't find a set of Flora in my size.. But, I kind of want KLMK and a PCU. :v:
[QUOTE=Stupideye;26535247]Why?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=venom;26535454]Are you.. being sarcastic? I'm almost certain MARPAT is more effective than M81, I just don't think it looks as badass. :v:[/QUOTE] No. I'm not being sarcastic. Why is digital stuff not as effective, you ask? A regular infantryman is most likely [I]not[/I] going to need to be hidden at close range (which is what I hear digital is supposed to do, as opposed to old style camo hiding at a distance). I'd rather be masked at range when I'm moving with a group, distorting or hiding mine and the squad's profile, rather than up close. Your numbers and location are skewed with traditional camouflage. Ever read Macbeth? The tactic Macduff's army uses towards the end of the play (disguising their profile with boughs while moving through the woods) is what I'm getting at. When that whole army (or in a more realistic example, the squad) is up close, you're not going to need to hide anymore, because you'll have been easily spotted at the ranges digital patterns are supposed to hide you at. If you're that close to the enemy and still trying to be sneaky, you're probably a sniper in a ghillie suit, and almost foolishly close. I've seen digital camouflage (woodland MARPAT) in person. The tone of the green is about all I see at a distance, and you might as well wear plain OD BDUs at that point. Up close I would've seen those guys anyway; far away you can't tell the pattern is even there, and the effectiveness I find questionable either way. [QUOTE=Timebomb757;26536510][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q78I49JEgag&feature=related[/media][/QUOTE] You can laugh all you want. My experience tells me something different.
Digital camo works on the principle that it's more disruptive than the standard camouflage patterns. It breaks up the human shape better than the blob camo of yesteryear. [QUOTE=Jenkem;26536712]If you're that close to the enemy and still trying to be sneaky, you're probably a [I][U]sniper[/U][/I] in a ghillie suit, and almost [U][I]foolishly close[/I][/U].[/QUOTE] What
If you're that worried about breaking shape, put some camouflaged stuff on your neck. I've heard that the human head/shoulders is one of those things that the eye can quickly spot.
[QUOTE=Jenkem;26536712]No. I'm not being sarcastic. Why is digital stuff not as effective, you ask? -words- [/QUOTE] No, any digital camoflage worth its salt is designed to camouflage a target at all ranges. NO modern patterns work as well when the wearer is moving, at all. In fact, solid colors work better when the wearer is moving. A pattern moving is more noticeable than a flat color (That is good for the environment does) moving, due to the fact that a solid pattern moving has less visual distortion than a pattern does. A close range, digital works very well on a non moving wearer, whereas a blotch pattern doesn't. At long range, digital blends into what looks like a solid color. This is actually more effective on both moving and non-moving targets at long range. Not hugely more effective, since movement is easy to spot regardless of what the user is wearing, but better than a solid pattern by quite a bit.
jenkem... youre dumb. [editline]6th December 2010[/editline] 7:52 PM - GerAA- the order has been done: jenkims dumb y/n 7:55 PM - Niko: y
You must be a very unique human being if your eye can spot a non-moving solid color at range better than an un-natural non-moving blotch pattern.

uh in macbeth they cut down whole trees and walked to the castle with them. that has no relevance to camouflage either, dunno where you pulled that out of.
but everyone died in macbeth [editline]6th December 2010[/editline] 8:11 PM - Foos-Jenkem is fucking retarded: yay 8:11 PM - GerAA- the order has been done: haha owned
macbeth is a bad thing to say in a theater its considered really bad luck stop saying macbeth pls
I'm reading Macbeth in English class right now. I strongly dislike Shakespeare, but at least Macbeth is better than that steaming pile of shit Romeo and Juliet we had to read last year.
