I disagree with what you said about the UCP…I’m apart of a special forces group known as “Gravel Ops,” and gray ucp is very useful for crawling up gravel roads.
@@kurtcobainii1075 In some situations, sure, but since it's woodland, it's too dark to blend into certain areas, and that's where a heavily green dominant UCP would come in.
@@malicioussigmaape7432 Desert MARPAT is perfect for a sandy spot, i have discovered. My hairs blonde, so i used to take off my helmet on some missions and id blend in with the sand. I knew i did bc i got my scouting buddy to take a picture once. Pretty good camo for it. 9/10, works in patches with a couple rocks and sand, but not in the really coarse rocky spots.
@@malicioussigmaape7432 Light tan to brown. Yeah, good for a sandy patch with minor rock and dirt debris. Couldnt think of the word debris at the time. And i heard we needed to start calling the Army Gravel Ops over something about how their camo sucks?? True or were they just hating?
Goggles are a must have when your a gunner without a crow system, especially when a dust storm kicks in, combine it with a balaclava and your kicking ass like a pro
UCP seems to change color depending on what environment you're in. Sometimes it looks like a useless gray, other times it's a baby puke green, and yet it can also appear this pale blue. It's the most worthless camo pattern ever used by US forces.
@@EchoEdema lol that's because the idea is reverse psychology. The enemy is supposed to see it and think "Nah, they wouldn't be that stupid, it can't be them."
Goggles are more job specific for being useful tank crews love them especially the ones out of the hatch when you're maneuvering in dusty environments.
@@DustMug Everything is better than UCP, I'm asking about his opinion, does he think it's still good camouflage for armie of central Europe or should Poland get new camouflage
Most of the classes I assist in bow teach to shoot from the pelvic girdle, and not to take the time to come up to the center of mass. I hit through there is more effective, and instantly drops people more often.
I read somewhere in defense of the UCP. That it was incredibly useful for support units to identify who was on their side and who wasn't. So it was pretty good for urban combat apparently
Glad for this info man. I'm still trying to become a combat engineer. I'm 13 with big dreams. You might not be seeing this comment, but if you are, I will make it there. Anyways Ty for the info
I am very interested in the idea of AR goggles becoming part of the military’s gear. Imagine the facial recognition tech in your phone on a snipers goggles or scope, you could see faces that even you could see.
The goggles were great when you had your head out the hatch. M88 on the back road mid summer equals loads of dust dirt and everything else. The wash after was the best part unless it was below 50 degrees with wind.
We have the groin protectors in UK EOD, tier 1s are kevlar boxer shorts, tier 2s are the nappy and tier 3s are the 3 quater bomb trousers. A pain in the ass to walk in and if you need the toilet find a irrigation ditch to swamp yourself, if you need a poo tough you wait until you get back haha
Groin protector is a VERY good thing to have if you're over 6 feet tall and firing a Mk 19 from the turret of a Humvee. Lesson learned the painful way.
Bro the UcP in the woods picture is so fuxken funny 😂😭😭 i could spot that with my 10/20 vision a mile away, 😂😭 looks more Russian SU-series Blue than anything woodland or urban environment. Maybe would be good in detroit, on an overcast day 😂😭
Don't for the legendary PT belt/glo-strap. As a Marine when I was deployed to Iraq, on base we were on lookout for snipers. However, at night, we had to wear ultra-reflective yellow straps for visibility. For safety.
Hey I loved the googles!! They were my secret weapon when qualifying on the range. It kept the helmet out of my face when firing (recoil), it helps enable consistency on sight alignment and sight picture, if it was snowing, windy or even hot it saved my eyes from the elements.
I only used goggles when I was driving the Stryker. Wind always seemed to whip right around regular eye protection and I end up with dry af eyes or dust all up in my shit.
