Camouflage - - - Why?!?!?!

Re: Camouflage - - - Why?!?!?!

If they don't have a logical justifiable reason for it, they'll say things like:

Why not?
Because I can
Because I feel like it
Because it's cool
Because it looks cool
Fuck you

Not everyone realizes the level of their stupidity, it's a relative opinion. Street trash do a lot of things & use the above reasons as justification. Most of us know that taking a TV out to the range, shooting it up and making a mess while displaying a piss poor example of recreational shooters is not cool. However there are those that think it is all kinds of cool.

If you went into a street trash car forum and asked why people put $4000 chrome 22" wheels on a beater car, you'll get the exact same set of answers.

Why not?
Because I can
Because I feel like it
Because it's cool
Because it looks cool
Fuck you

If you went to the lowest ranked high school around and asked the punk kids why they wear chains, have all kinds of piercings, and smoke all kinds of homemade drug combinations, you'll get the exact same set of answers.

Why not?
Because I can
Because I feel like it
Because it's cool
Because it looks cool
Fuck you

Some people have a desire to look like a retard and paint a Punisher skull on their guns. Those people will probably be offended by this post, while those of us with couth think it's an embarassment to the entire sport and industry.



Now, all that is completely exclusive from people who legitimately camoflage a firearm for a specific advantage. If you can't figure out which examples are which by yourself, you probably don't even comprehend what I just said.

What color is your rifle? Can you give us a logical justifiable reason you chose that color?
 
Re: Camouflage - - - Why?!?!?!

My M24 clone has camo applied for 2 reasons, hunting which i will be doing very soon and i like the look of a camouflaged weapon. My camo is krylon ultra flat so if and when i change the camo it will come off easily.
 
Re: Camouflage - - - Why?!?!?!

painted mine because I wanted it to look different. same reason I put rims, 35's, and a lift on my 4x4 that goes offroad about 5% or less of the time. I had the money, i wanted it, it looks cool, its functional to some extent.

one persons' cool is different than another persons'. My all black rifle had no pizzaz until it was painted.

now its got pizzaz so it can slay animals in style. and it looks cool in pictures.

Re: Camouflage - - - Why?!?!?!

The Army said this:

“Before painting your weapon it is important to keep several things in mind. First and foremost is to ensure that you have proper authorization from your superior to paint your weapon…[and] have a plan for how you want your camouflage to look. Painting a weapon is not about personalization but increasing its tactical capabilities without impairing its ability to function.”

The army said it increases tactical capabilities... so it must be true

Re: Camouflage - - - Why?!?!?!

I have likes and dislikes, some might agree some might not. Oh well,such is life

I like digital patterns and decided to do this recent build in what I call "digital grass". It does ok blending in around my area so it did what I set out to accomplish.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Killer Spade 13</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Why are so many of the shooters here so obsessed with painting their rifles in some sort of camouflage pattern?

If you never use it for hunting, why would you need camouflage?

If you're shooting at game from more than 200 yards away, would it matter anyway?

Just wondering . . .

Is it just more of a "wannabe" thing? </div></div>

When pondering possible and probable to such conundrum, I scour the vast expanses of my glorious intellect to unearth the most logical and concise explanation.

The results of my findings are as follows:

Idea for camo stock exists therefore...
Talent for camo stock exists therefore...
Demand for camo stock exists therefore...
Talent required to produce camo stock exists therefore...
Talent is encouraged to produce camo stock in exchange for gain therefore...
Demand will compensate talent for camo stock therefore...
A true market has been born.

You can not buy yourself into said status of wannabe. It is a mere state of mind.

Where's the rifle?? All I can see is the bipod, brake, and recoil pad!!

Why camo a rifle??

Maybe I'm missing something, but what is the deal with the Hello Kitty stuff?? I shot Mammoth last year with a guy who had Hello Kitty stickers on his AI. What am I missing?
