Is black really that bad?

[Pandysec]

Whilst I'm a fan of the whole British army desert camo, I've gone out and brought a complete black load out. For cqb stuff and Raf upper heyford.

I like the swat/sas look, but a few mates are saying its a bad move, but I can blend in with shadows, and let's be fair black isn't as bad as say bright colours. I could always get some desert combats and a shirt suppose, with my black helmet, molle vest and RIF etc?

Black works fine in CQB. Find a dark area and you're better off than any camo apart from maybe urban etc.

Seen Marpat, DPM and others in CQB sites... doesn't make any sense apart from "looking the part"

 

[Pandysec]

Yeah I just saw the urban black and white, pair of those cargos would look pretty nifty I think.

 

[Tariq]

I have a set of urban. Never worn them. Always wear black

 

[Pandysec]

You've filled me with confidence mate! Thanks, keeping my black!

 

[Ian_Gere]

There's a type called "Night Urban" which is all greys and some even has pale blue, which I suspect would be very good under moonlight. I've got a pair of night urban kecks in this style and they're also really comfy. I've yet to skirmish them at night however... but they are good for urban shadows.

I wear nothing but black as I play CQB but playing some urban woodland so may invest in something else for that.

Nothing wrong with all black at all. People go for what they feel comfortable in. I go for the all black as I find it intimidating too others and alot of the game is psychology.

It's just not the 'ideal' choice for a lot of sites is all. A lot of all-indoor places with have various pitch dark areas so it'll work nicely, but against foliage, mud, sand, rocks or pretty much anything that isn't black it doesn't blend in very well. The eye tends to pick it out because it doesn't really appear in nature.

Still better than wearing really faded dessie DPM in a dark brown/green woodland area of course.

 

[Pandysec]

And would you bother with a balaclava? I brought one but man it's hot wearing it, plus I've got one of those tactical helmets the us wear, and specs.

I was thinking maybe just a bandana over my mouth?

 

[Silent7Sniper7]

actually if you learn how to blend into dark places you will seriously be feared. You'll be a sniper in a ghillie suit basically.

Honestly Black's better than Some Camo's from the way i have seen it utilized we even have Airforce and Army both serving and Ex

-serving losing people

Let's sqaush this Ghillie stuff right here.

Ghillie's are a lie in airsoft their not better than Camo's especially multicam why simples:

1.wearing multicam i can disappear at any distance watched and unwatched a ghillie can't

2. wearing any camo for that matter even black i reckon i'd manage it.

want Proof ask HTA Marshal's it's the new thing because it work's end of

so let's stop the Ghillie's are bestest it's like comparing my Airsoft Pistol to the real thing one of them ain't gonna do nuthin

my brother uses all black kit for his loadout never had any problems since we're as stealthy as a brick threw the window

Multicam/MTP is designed for the kind of terrain found in Afghan, Northern Iran, Pakistan, etc. - the place where the fossil fuels are most easily obtained through the use of military force. In UK, or any European, woodland, ordinary Soldier 95 DPM beats MTP hands down. And that, my friends, is an indisputable fact.

I went Black but wanted to be different so bought the Black Bundeswehr Panzer uniform including the smock. I managed to find a shop in London that stocked it.

[Ian_Gere]

Exactly. <_<

If I wanted to Skirmish in Helmand, I'd go for MTP every time. Here in the heart of Sherwood Forest, or, as the bloke just explained, anywhere in Northern Europe where green is the predominant background, DPM is the specialised camouflage for that application.

Flecktarn isnt bad for places like Upper Heyford because of the red bricked buildings

Yeah, I like flecktarn: I've got a couple of German surplus shirts.. It looks especially good for autumn, but I'll bet it's fantastic in really dark forest, or for more open woodland at night. The thing is that it's main colour is brown; it's specialised for forest with little undergrowth or farmland...

boring guy but interesting video....got to say i like the effect of desert with dpm
