What Are the Do's and Don'ts of Uniform/Camos Etc?

Multi cam gloves and face mask, ranger green trousers, Partiz jacket all topped off with an  Atacs camo hood.

run this with an ak or 416, don’t know who it annoys more, the multiglam operators or the Russlovers  

 
I'll be rocking up to my first game on Saturday dressed in Polish Woodland camo. I really liked the look of it so thought why not!

 
I would suggest getting standard issue multicam BDU's from your local surplus store to begin with. Can never go wrong with them. Who cares if everyone else wears them.

It's for battle, it's not Milan Fashion We... oh nevermind, I forgot, we're talking about Airsoft, sorry.

 
I know it's oh so 90's of me but DPM is still more effective than multi glam in the uk woodland environment

fair enough, i've seen some stuff with red speckles which would be oh so effective if it weren't for aforementioned red speckles.

that looks like a coarser flecktarn, which we all know is the best camo ever.

I was thinking of going for a Vietnam war era US soldier outfit, also considered a British Falklands era outfit but felt that would have been more of a no-no than the Vietnam era outfit due to the amount of ex British service members who use airsofts sites.

Yeah I understand  you,  I'd never claim to be someone I'm not if you get what I mean.

Wear what you like, including Falklands era loadouts, just don't wear cap badges or other regimental insignia, it does often cause offence.

I could wear my regt beret/badge, but I don't, we're playing at this & wouldn't want to feel I'd disrespected my comrades service while playing silly buggers with toy guns.

 
Ive got like 23 patterns I can run. Its all about balancing what looks good to you, what works in your environment, and what you can afford. 

For instance - I love Tropentarn, aka German Desert. However its expensive and does not work in the South East US at all. 

German Flecktarn works extremely well, and is much more affordable and common than Tropentarn. However I dont care too much for the pattern.

Kryptek Highlander is affordable, works great in the environment, and I like the pattern - so for the longest time that was what I ran.

However sometimes camo can be about making a statement. ACU doesn't blend with anything other than concrete. M81 Pink doesnt blend at all. MC Black or Kryptek Typhon look ace but really only work indoors/in the dark. Pick something you like and can afford, and youll be happy.

And yes, I own all the patterns above and more.

So much this.  The english countryside is too green for it.  Its almost as if modern camo is more geared towards arid environments while old 90s DPM was for cold war europe.

For me, my best camo for concealment is russian digital flora (see profile pic).  Multi cam is too tan(?) And too light for our woodland.  Its fairly good for dry long grass though.

Bank balance saving tip: if your like me, you will get into building uniforms around certain guns.  Then as your pew collection grows so does your gear and so the cost rises.  PMC is a good alternative style for gear as it can be any type of camo and any gun you want.

The golden rule is get what you like the look of, just don't start thinking you are what you're dressing up as. (Don't be a Walt)

Some may question insignia and badges but as long as you're not claiming you earned them that should appease most but not all.

Being a proud Irishman this is what I run mainly at the moment, and the parka jacket is freaking awesome bit of kit

Honestly, I wouldn't even mind if you did wear Regt Insignia or what have you if your just trying to be true to a specific era/Unit/Conflict.

Start spinning dits about your heroics with the SLR on Mt Tumbledown and you'll likely upset a few folk, but I don't/wouldn't have any issue with anyone wearing insignia if they've researched and understood what it is there wearing and why.
