Also, remember when ACU came out and everyone thought that it was so cool??? And turns out it sucks really bad. I'm just being the devils advocate :)


I know its just some junkies opinion, but when acu first came out, i laughed and thought it was the worst thing ever. not trying to hate, but i wasnt blinded by the attempt at coolness. the thing with atacs (im not a fan anymore) is that they took the marine despat, smoothed out the rough edges, threw tiny little splats of green smaller than a dime, and called it a completely new design. And isnt it already raided out? (slanted pockets, casual and battle collar, shoulder pockets, ankle pockets, added velcro for patches, etc)

It uses the ACU design for pockets and velcro. While the ACU cut is heavily influenced by Raid modded BDU's. It is a different design.

Remember ACU is the design of the uniform (The first issued sets were in 3 color desert) UCP is the Army's horrible digital pattern.

Yeah, that place is featured on AirsoftGI. Looks amazing. F***ing Oregon fields...
They're either wooded or paintball fields here. Just another reason to move to California.

Not gonna lie, some of the best fields out here are the free (BLM) or super cheap ones that are just mostly all woods.

Except for full field SniperzDen.

well, I think even if I don't use it super much I might get a set since I'm stupid enough to want a set of a bunch of other camo stuff... and eventually someone is gonna host a game where "to play this part you must have attacks" (I'm waiting for the day someone pronounces it like that)

Fish from 1st sword has it (up in my area), though he wears a ghillie over it. it'll take me some time to afford it... I'd love to see a plate carrier or even an LBE setup with pouches to put over a tan OTV.

Tactical Tailor might wanna make a gunfighter cap with A-TACS. I'd buy that right now if they made it.

I just got my set of temperate A-TACS from a good friend in 1st group up at the J-BLAM, and I think it looks like Starwars Endor camo.
