July 4th, 2017: Tricksy Women Camoufleurs
Recently found photographs in the Library of Congress. I'd like to be this outfit's DI.

Shows that tricksyness can be used for good. ;) :lol: link |
This brings to mind the copperhead snake thread a while back.

Yeah, nature has a big head start in this shit. I was surprised by the fact they paid to do this, and "keep the wearer safe from detection at a distance of 10 feet". Ten feet is awfully close, but I suppose they are talking about a combatant who is on the move and watching for an enemy to pop up over the horizon of from behind a rock/tree, and only scanning the foreground for tripping hazards.

Was just at Mystic Seaport with the kids and saw a whole interactive display of dazzle camo on miniature ships viewed through a rangefinder, and dazzle costumes you could put on and move around in like a ship while others watched you.

Some of those dazzle ships are amazing!
The rock suits.. not so amazing but a few seem usable. It's just about impossible to make something suitable elsewhere for where a soldier actually needs to hide. That's probably why Gillie suits rule since they invite picking up what's immediately around you providing rapid location customization. |
I can find a person in only one of the four rock suit pics.
Any help? |
