Mixing camo's a sin?
20 December, 2015, 15:35
Here is a common sight at skirmishes; that one guy with the Desert BDU top, Multicam plate-carrier, DPM bottoms and ACU Digital bandana. (Not me O_o)
Many people stare in disgust, so what do you guys think; is it a sin? Are there special circumstances which can allow it? The reason I ask is that I play woodland games and would like to camo-paint my rifle, but they only sell Atacs AU and I am thinking of doing a mix of Atacs AU, FG and maybe a bit of desert. E.g Desert top, FG bottoms, vest and helmet but AU and coyote pouches, slings and rifle.
So; what do you think? Thanks;
Regards,
Rowan

Haha, on a separate not, just realized my poll doesn't make sense... Hmm. What did people mean by the never option; never do it or never a sin?

Re: Mixing camo's a sin?
Depends on the camo that's mixed together. If you're wearing desert trousers and a woodland top then it's gonna look kinda fugly but if it's something like multicam and a bit of atacs fg mixed together it's no harm.

Re: Mixing camo's a sin?
If anyone stares in disgust at somebody else's camo, they need to get a life. There is no dress code in Airsoft.

Makes perfect sense as there's not an option to object.

Apart from when there's a dress code.

Re: Mixing camo's a sin?
What I find more of a sin, people who think camo in airsoft works. Harry potters cloak of invisability wont help you at the ranges we play, wear whatever the fuck you want.

Re: Mixing camo's a sin?
Camouflage does work at airsoft ranges, if it is the right camo in the right place and if the wearer knows what he or she needs to do to maximise the effect of the camouflage. Playing in fairly dense woodland wearing flecktarn, I have had players walk right past me at 3-4m range and fail to spot me.

You dont need camo to be effective in denses woodland though, you just need to not move

Re: Mixing camo's a sin?
I get some people play airsoft for the realism and that's the reason you'd want to have matching camo etc.
But for me it's about fun and thats all... if someone ants to mix camo, I see no issue in that!

"You dont need camo to be effective in denses woodland though, you just need to not move"
I would tend to disagree with you on that; having both played and marshalled in woodland, it is clear that different camouflage patterns have significant different impacts on the ability to stay concealed. In reasonably dense woodland with dappled shade, flecktarn, for example, is far more effective that DPM or even MTP/multicam, to the extent that players fairly regularly comment on it.

Tell that to the talking bushes xD (Yes I know that doesn't count as a camo in this sense)
Thanks for your opinion's! I think I will wear both types Atacs and a bit of MTP and Desert. I might even buy some of heroshark's leopard print for my helmet cover
