A fragmented jacket ( from a 9mm P+ FMJ pistol round against close steel plates targets) did bounced back into my BEW safety lenses this summer at the range. Not even a scratch.



P.S. A also use Oakley's M Frame ( strike ), they are good ( vision, resolution, contrast,etc... ) but they scratch easily. A few ejected case into the lenses and they will wear fast.

I'm a bit of a gearwhore. I had to have the CADPAT when I discovered it. It became my primary camouflage on OPs. In FL most of the games call for ACU, MARPAT, BDU etc., but I wear the CADPAT when I can. Here are some pics of my loadouts. Excuse the bad pics. I threw these together when I came accross this forum.

Standard Kit: Assault kit w/skate helmet

Another look usually when it's too hot out. OD hat w/ American flag

Sniper kit. Homemade Ghillie mane w/ Cadpat balaclava

My newest addition. Ghosts skull balaclava from COD:MW2.

curious.. why do these OPs in CADPAT Arid pants and top is in TW? any reason for a such mixing of the camo?

[greenknightscaptain]

SEALs in Afghanistan do it as well. Marcus Lutrell mentions wearing bdu jacket with dcu pants on an OP. As said earlier your upper body at tree level is green and your lower body appears arrid and it breaks up your profile really well.

Not any more, at least not any that I have seen in our AO. They have mostly been using their new Multicam uniforms for OTW. Alot of the Rear Ech types are still rocking the Desert DPM.

Also the Yanks here have 3 types of Cammo, the plain gray, the plain gray with some brown, and the new Mulitcams... hard to tell the difference between a Brit and a Yank now adays lol

Expanding on Mike's reply about the mixing of 2 colours of tops and bottoms; picture a man moving along seen from a few hundred meters away. The green top blends in with the foliage, and the lighter bottom blends in with the dead fall, or if it's winter you'll just have white bottoms on if you're in evergreens. This works really well.

The Canadian Army has done this for years, not just the SF guys.

For the SEALs mixing tops, it's been said that they do this to produce 2 smaller camo'd blobs vs. one big camo'd blob. If you can break up the pattern of the human body in this manner you'll make it harder for your opposition to see there's a person out there.

You mean their ACUs? Yea the ACUs with the brown mixed in was one of the trial patterns but multicam was the winner of that trial. And the Americans call it OEF-Pattern or something like that.

Right now the Yanks are rocking three Uniforms, just for the Army. All are ACU pattern Unfirom, but the most common is the Universal (I call it Plain Gray because thats what it is), then the one with some Brown thrown in to help blend in a bit (less common but still visible especially in some of the FOBs), then the new Multicams which alot of the new troops are coming in wearing.

Gotta say that Multicam would probably work quite nice here, but I'll stick with the Arid CADPAT lol

I've tried to mix camo during the training raid last week. Works


I am on the right

slight cross posting from SAW thread but getting my Canadian load out a little bit more true to form.

Did you make a template to engrave the trademarks? If not how did you go about doing it?

[Boris the Blade]

Nice markings! The real C9 also has several FN Herstal markings on it as well
