i need to know how to make a ghillie suit

We have purchased a ghillie suit and made a few, if you have the time and patience you can make an awsome one for about 100$ cheaper, here is the best way IMO. You take and old BDU Camo jacket, turn it inside out, this way all of your pockets are now on the "inside", then take "elastic strips" and hot glue gun or sew them to the jacket(this is to put "natural" material on your ghillie) then you take multi-colored burlap(you can buy a bunch and dye it if need be) and cut them into 4-6 in strips, then hot glue gun the strips onto the jacket(be random with the colors and dont over do it) also do this with a "boonie-hat" for your bush hat. Now the next thing you have to do is "weather" your ghillie, this can be done easily with a wire brush, just comb the crap out of it until the burlap are mostly "stringy". I have had numerous successfull kills with such ghillie suits. And yes they hamper your movments somewhat, but a sniper shouldn't be moving much. and if your good and matched your ghillie with the terrain they are the ultimate in camofluage. You do have to practice alot to be good with one and you have to be able to kill with "one" shot, if you do that correctly you "will" stay concealed after you have fired. All movements need to be slow and deliberate. The only people who put these down are either the ones who don't know how to use a ghillie suit effectivly or they are one of the ones I "Sniped" in a game and they had no clue as to where it came from.

Rustic what does yer post have to do with making ghillie suits?? I was agreeing with Reb, on the sentiment that Ghillie suits serve little to no purpose in the game, and disagreeing with you concerning being able to conceal yourself after just a few shots.

 I belive the thread was ""i need to know how to make a ghillie suit". Yep.

 What have you contributed to that other than another FLAME?? Jack! I didn't flame anyone. I added my .2 cents and you landed on me with both feet.

 If you don't like sniping or ghillies why even click on this thread? Because I still maintain the faint glimmer of hope that someday people will snap out of the hollywood induced sniper-glory phase.

or do you like to make arguments? I love arguments. But this isnt one. This is you tearing me to pieces over a handful of lines.

"Kills" yes, I play MilSim So do I. (that means military simulation) Thanks for the clarification

 that means we simulate our paintball as if the paintballs were real bullets, you get hit in the arm you can't use it, the leg the same, the head or chest you get "killed", or your out, most all "games" that involves shooting anything at someone else whether it be paintball squirt guns or a video game you are going for "kills", Sounds exactly like games I play. We don't use the term 'kills' We're pretty well aware that it's just a game were playing. "Hits" or "Eliminations" serve us just fine.  and paintball is NOT A CLOSE QUARTERS GAME all the time, yes it can be at times, in speedball or urban settings but in the "woods" there "are" long ranges between you and your opponent, 20-50 yards constitutes as a 'long range?' As a sport shooter, I can make a 50 yard shot with my eyes closed. In paintball, that kind of range is considered "Out of range" Most action occurs within a handful of yards of each other if it's done right.

and how can longe range shooting be "eliminated" if all paintball guns shoot the same distance?? (exception to flatline which pretty much means you can "snipe" someone before they can actually reach you, ive done it son Son? just how old ARE you? )Its actually still being developed if anything, not eliminated. And i don't get owned awfully quick when i snipe, because i do it right, again if you "know what your doing" I'm gonna leave this part alone.

 you "CAN" shoot from a position of concealment and not be seen with more than 1 shot, although it is against all sniper doctrine to shoot from the same spot twice, paintball has an exception. I say to you "quit whining like a girl" and open your eyes, sniping is a "real"thing in paintball, ive done it, ive seen it done, its proven. The only thing you were right about in your post was "its a game dude"

I'm going to ignore that above paragraph because it reminds me too much of the 12 year olds in the New player forum who have seen too many movies.

......very good, and games are suppose to be fun and boy i have so much fun sniping people who have no clue as to even how to go about the art of it. Thanx. Yeah, sniping is an art. I agree here. I just don't know anyone that can employ the necessary tactics on the paintball field. It's too involved, too technical for a recreational game like paintball or milsim.
