Jackets & Trousers, and types of camouflage

There are over ten or twelve types of camouflage, ranging from those used by the various national military services of several countries, to civilian makes and designs. Overall, you need to consider the main use that you'll put it to: are you playing in a woodland, open, or urban setting? Do you want to be different, or follow what most others will wear (a team uniform, if you like)?
The most common patterns of camouflage on clothing, that I regularly see on UK Airsoft Skirmish sites, appear to be (in order of appearance, and from left to right):
BritishDPM
AmericanWoodland
GermanFlectarn
SwissAlpenflage
FrenchCentralEuropean
I'd suggest, for cheapness, that the various form of British DPM camouflage clothing are probably your best choice; I say this for two reasons. One, it's plentiful, there being loads of it on the surplus market, and two, that due to this abundance of clothing in the surplus market, it tends to be cheaper, like for like (quality-wise), than different camouflage patterns.
Whatever pattern you choose, get a jacket and TWO pair of trousers at the minimum - you never know when you're going to need that second pair - and likely as not, it'll be a ripped pair of trousers that leaves you cursing your rotten luck, and wondering why you didn't follow my advice, and get TWO pairs of strides!

Funniest Airsoft Warnings

by Scott from SpeedyToys.com


We all know that a great deal of work goes into the manufacturing of an airsoft gun, but regardless of the amount of effort they put in, the same effort was not used in correctly translating the warnings. And, the accompanying pictures are always fantastic.

Below are a few of my favorites. These are all from UHC, HFC, and KWC airsoft guns.

Almost all of them say "Don't peep at the muzzle, but I like the kid in this one. Also remember that rough operation is never a good idea. Ever.

"Don't peep at the muzzle."	"Avoid a rough operation"
"Don't peep at the muzzle." "Don't touch the trigger until the moment of shooting." "Avoid a rough operation."	"Never look at the muzzle with your eyes. Never put any bullet into the air gun except when you have shooting practice." "Never aim the air gun at people." (Note the expression on the guy's face) "Safety lever should not be released until you shoot."

The final warning page is my favorite, and it is all just too priceless, so I had to include the whole thing. My favorite part is "Never shoot as joking, always look before shoot, the careless use may cause injure and be punished." Note the picture of the quick jump from careless use to handcuffs. Also, a good idea is to carry the gun in a bag rather than walking around with it. Remember not to dissemble the gun by yourself, which will cause the trouble and dangerous. And note that if you let children near the gun, they are likely to shoot the cat.

So pick up any fine foreign-manufactured Airsoft gun today, and make sure to read the "Dos" and "Don't" (Do's are O, Don'ts are X) before using!
