Look at these Soldiers doing real work in Afghanistan. Out on patrol and not at a major combat base but out and about doing Soldiers work...no civilian comparison here. But notice one thing. They're all wearing multicam which is doing its job quite well and whats busting it up? Black rifles, black admin pouches, black nvg mounts etc....
Its past time that the US Army and US Marine Corps fix the black rifle problem.
Surely Duracoat or another manufacturer can come up with a fix that's durable enough to meet military standards.
Fix real problems!
Enough of the foolishness!
Ive always wondered why we didn't paint our rifles coyote brown like our gear. It would go with pretty much any gear out there.
ReplyDeleteI painted my m4 but that was because of how banged up it was the sun keep reflecting off the chip metal. All we had was tan and brown paint so I went tiger strip on my rifle after my gunny gave me the ok. I simple got my butt chewed anytime we went to a big base and some snco or officer thought they had to say something. I didn't care....neither did I care when I broke my bootbanes and didn't blouse my boots for a month...but I shaved ;)
