Urban camouflage. That's my indoor paintball uniform.

You're doing a lot of pissing and bitching and moaning these days. Sheesh.
You sound like a little girl.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I got visuals of this hitler youth guy
all decked out in his new uniform waiting with baited breath to go out for
the fuhrer or something. Sorry, it's what first popped into my head.

To, uh, what, hide in amongst all of the destroyed buildings and piles of
rubble and concrete left over from the armageddon of your previously enacted
naval and aerial bombardment to soften the landing zone??

When will you fucks learn that the best camouflage in an indoor setting is
simple solid dark colors. I play in dark sweatpants, a dark tshirt, and if
it's cold a dark overshirt. My mask is black. The only non-dark color I
wear is a red bandana, and that's simply so my teammates know who I am. You
see a red bandana, you know it's me.

My personal fave is when the guys show up at the indoor place I play at in
woodland camo and face paint. Talk about painting a target on your ass.

I guess you'd laugh when they painted Ships pre-radar in camo too huh? You
realize camo isn't suppose to make you invisable or "hiding" you. It's meant
to disrupt the outline of the shape of a body..... Unless it's a gullie duit
of course.

Sometimes it's like shooting fish in a barrel with people as stupid as you.

*sigh* ok, we'll start from the beginning. Not entirely unbelievably, you
managed to get the point of camouflage, to disrupt the outline of a known
shape, so as to make it unknown to the human eye, at least at a glance.
Here's the problem with camouflage in an indoor setting like most paintball
arenas:

Part One: The disruption of the human shape that is performed by the
camouflage patterns worn, in order to be effective in ANY way, must more or
less match the terrain it is being used in. Hence the variety of patterns
used by military forces, for jungle, urban, desert, snowy terrain and so on.

Part Two: The standard acme indoor paintball arena is generally a light
brownish concrete floor with bunkers made of pallets, culvert tubing, air
filled brightly colored balloons and whatnot placed in various locations.

Part Three: No standard military pattern fits in with ANY of the standard
configurations of paintball fields described above.

Conclusion: The ONLY possibility of wearing standard camouflage at a
standard indoor paintball field is to actively DISTINGUISH you from the
surrounding terrain, thus distinguishing you as a target to a scanning human
eye. Wearing urban camouflage in a place NOT filled with rubble will only
serve to accentuate your human form as being something FOREIGN to the
surrounding terrain, the exact OPPOSITE effect that camouflage is SUPPOSED
to have.

Solution to Problem: When the terrain is even in color and patterned in
shape and form, as it usually is on a paintball field, the ONLY camouflage
that has any chance of performing it's duty, is camouflage that allows you
to blend in to the shadows made by the bunkers and corners, hence, dark
clothing.

Please note: I am *NOT* suggesting that camouflage is ineffective on
woodland fields, as it obviously is effective. Merely I am stating that
wearing camo at an indoor field is superfluous at best, and actively working
against you more likely than not.

And ships pre radar were painted light grey, so as to blend in to the water
and sky as best as possible.
