Weird Dpm Shirt?

[TheFull9]

Most camo printing pretty much looks like this (that I've ever seen).

If you've ever said 'X does not work in Y wide-range multitude of environments' sorry you just did little other than prove you don't actually know much about camo patterns, using camouflage, fieldcraft and understanding terrains.

DPM has a load of black and light tan in it (highly contradictory, not without reason but still not ideal), it's a camo designed in the 1960s when they had incredibly limited design and printing technologies compared to now.  It can be fine in very dark environments, but by modern standards it is a poor camo pattern and colourway.  Same applies for many of the iconic old pre-2000 camos that people get weirdly sentimental over as if nothing could've been made that's better since then.  Basically the same mentality as people who cling to NiMh batteries.

depends how far you want to take that statement as to wether or not i'd agree.

yes you have a point that if you know what you're doing in terms of sneakyness you can bypass the deficiencies of a particular pattern.

the patterns designed pre-90's for a european theatre of war (ie germany) which have similar enough climate to the uk that the forest patterns match up nicely compared to those designed for the more modern conflicts we're seeing in the middle east. add in the cheap milsurp prices and that's why they're popular.

of course folk can wear what they like to the airsoft fashion show, and folks wearing mtp are doing so for the same reasons i'm wearing digiflora- because it's close enough and we like it, rather than being the perfect choice for the environment.

besides it's all academic when you get shot by someone in a deadpool onsie

I’ve always been of the opinion(yes I know my point of view on people’s opinions is well known!??)is field craft will always win what ever your wearing , obviously if your in camo your on to a good starting point but even if your wearing the perfect gillie suit for the environment if your stomping around Making noise and obvious movements then your going to get bumped where as the guy in desert camo who Fully understands the principles of field craft will win every time .

Not unless your wearing Crye etc, then your clearly superior to everyone else ?

DPM is a development of the Dennison smock hand brushed camo patterns IIRC.   Designed, as mentioned above, for Northern Europe; and painted by hand.  Times move on.

I've never had a problem with DPM in the U.K or your standard European climate, think its best for our green and dark forests. Sure there are probably better more modern options nowadays, but DPM is cheap af (Even brand new unissued stuff still) and in the end, as stated before it's only airsoft so it doesn't really matter.
