planeflyer21 Posted June 5, 2015 Report Posted June 5, 2015 Finally got it all issued where it needs to be. Looks like an intentionally faded multi-cam to me. Probably trying to avoid royalties. http://www.theverge.com/2015/6/5/8734953/operational-camouflage-pattern-release
survivalshop Posted June 5, 2015 Report Posted June 5, 2015 Looks like the old woodland camo , amazing how it goes around & they only spent Bazilions !
98Z5V Posted June 7, 2015 Report Posted June 7, 2015 Looks like the old woodland camo , amazing how it goes around & they only spent Bazilions ! Nope, no black. Black, through night vision, damn near glows... Black rifles, homeboy in the black gloves...
DNP Posted June 7, 2015 Report Posted June 7, 2015 Speaking of glowing...the little fireflies on their foreheads point the way fairly well.
98Z5V Posted June 7, 2015 Report Posted June 7, 2015 If they're IR, they will be invisible to anyone not wearing NV.
survivalshop Posted June 8, 2015 Report Posted June 8, 2015 Nope, no black. Black, through night vision, damn near glows... Black rifles, homeboy in the black gloves... Looking at the photo of the new Camo , there is something in there that looks black & gloves are made of different material & may show up differently . Any way , spending Bazillions for the elimination of a color that is natural in nature ? Maybe not in a Desert environment , but just about any where else . <dontknow>
blue109 Posted June 8, 2015 Report Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) Spending bazillions for marginal gains (or none at all) is what we do best. I took a pretty cool color theory class. The professor showed us for the most part, the only time we see black is when we have painted something black. Most "black" in the world is just dark colors. Black starts to stand out more than neon orange. We had to do a lot of exercises painting shadows, roads, windows and things like that without using any black. Manipulating perception is pretty interesting. Edited June 8, 2015 by blue109

Blend with your surroundings. Black weeds, black grass, black trees - not so common. If they are, they black-the-fornicate-out and get your camo on, for it. This debate will rage for years. In the night, shadows are black - until you blast a SureFire HellFighter into that shadow, and expose all those bastards dressed in black, against their background - been done in Iraq. Read this - we (military) spent TONS of money to come up with the crap-tastic ACUs. What they hit in that on the black, was dead-nuts on. http://www.hyperstealth.com/acupat/ Here's another good article: http://www.lonesentry.com/articles/ttt09/camouflage.html Last but not least - dress up in your black pajamas in the middle of the night, and think you're camouflaged because it's dark. Run around in your terrain, and tell me you think you're invisible when you get your ass blasted with this thing that's hooked to a crew-served .50 or Mk19. That's 4500 lumens that projects to 1,600 meters - a mile. Tell me how safe you feel at night in your black pajamas, but because it's dark out... and your in a dirt or green backdrop. The .50 will get ya... The Mk19 will get your neighborhood... I haven't even started the night vision discussion part yet. Black fucking GLOWS in night vision. I know I've said this before. Run night vision long enough and you tend to understand it. Fuk Black...
98Z5V Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 What fuckin cow am I thinkin' of?! The fuk is this thing?...
98Z5V Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 These motherfuckers are a camouflage nightmare... They're victims, waiting to happen... Day or night don't matter.
DNP Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 Those bottom ones are Holsteins. I don't know wtf the top one is. I would say black angus, but that's got something funky to it. All those years in 4-H and FFA finally paid off. I can name 2 out of 3. Speaking of angus....
planeflyer21 Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Posted June 9, 2015 That's the same commercial I thought of when he said "Angus".
shepp Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 What fuckin cow am I thinkin' of?! The fuk is this thing?... Black angus
MikedaddyH Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 What fuckin cow am I thinkin' of?! The fuk is this thing?...Stewart Anderson Black Angus in its natural environment on the southern slopes on I-90 going to eastern Washington.
survivalshop Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) <lmao> Must be like an "whats the best Oil" thread on a Motorcycle Forum , always goes to a Galaxy, far far away ! All that crap don't matter , or what colors you have , Thermal will find you in day light . <dontknow> Edited June 9, 2015 by survivalshop
DNP Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 I knew that didn't look like angus. It's a welsh. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_Black_cattle

mrmackc Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 Yep hide off, tender and nicely marbled, with juices locked in and a little fat dripping onto the hot fire! Do I want a tater? ....nope just slap the smoking meat on a plate and ice down a sixpack....BUUURRRPPP!
shepp Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 <lmao> <laughs> I almost posted the same damn thing, but thought "These guys don't give a damn what it is unless it's on the grill." As long as you don't call Cali the dairy state or try telling me happy cows come from there I could give two fukks less
