There's a lot of truth to the phrase "dead men don't talk" Assuming while hiding only one opposing player comes across your position, you should be able to take him out, and if he follows standard rules, he'll call himself out, and silently walk off the field. Your cover is not blown. There's really no point in "hit and run" tactics. A good ghillie isn't supposed to be for close range concealment anyway, so theoretically, a sniper can get a good 3 or 4 shots in before having to move, as the enemy should need more than the shots you give him to pin down where your shots are coming from. But I'm talking long range engagement, 300+ yards which I was trained at. Not the 50 or so yards a paintball player will engage at. Then, you're using a ghillie at close range, so you REALLY have to prepare it well. Use local vegetation, good coloring, and STAY AWAY from large or moving objects. The eye is attracted to those. |

I really don't bother with camo, only if I have some with me. Like in one of the pictures, I just hide behind stuff and crawl around if I really don't want to be seen.

U.S. Marine Digi-Camo is perfect for the woods. I can't think of a worse pattern for grass or flatlands. To give you a better idea of where I play primarily here is a couple of pictures. First pic of my buddy's son. Second pic shows the lower part of the property. If you go further to the left, you get into the swampy ares. Edited by StormyKnight - 06 April 2008 at 8:13pm |

I don't like the Digi camo for the swampy woods. They're good for grasslands and flatland. |

Only the poorly made ones.
You can do that with any kind of camoflage, not just ghille suits. The best pattern I've had luck with is the U.S. Marine Digi-camo. I'll take that over looking like a walking brushpile anyday. |

Ask your self this, does the colors, shadows, and texture blend in with the surrounding enviroment that yo u will play in? Will you play all the time on that field where it could be useful? If you plan to do alot of shoot and scoot, a ghillies is not for you. Scout Snipers in the fleet make them but rarely use them. If they do, they are challenging targets at several hundreds of yards/meters. The enviroment/foliage (or lack of foliage) changes constantly. You are better off with a set of cammies, learn stalking/ambush, and practice in the woods to perfect your movement. Go to your local library or shop on line for field manuals and books covering movement, camouflage and concealment, and setting an ambush. FYI, black fatigues draw and retain heat and make you stand out both day and night.

Yes, I was terrified the last time a floor cleaning apparatus came after me on the paintball field. |

Well at least you learned some patience from making a ghillie :-)
Self constructed ghillies like yours usually get the job done for the surprise, but a ghillie that has taken a lot of work works better for the hit and run, then hide. That's pretty hard to do though so it's more about how fast you can move and how well you can keep hydrated. They sure are fun though, because the mop-looking ones scare the bajeeze's out of people. |

so ghillies make you more visible is that what some are saying? But if you crouch and stay still won't you blend in enough to let your opponents give up there position and get close enough to you to shoot them.

back in the day when i played i would do the same thing on my mask and gun. i would also wear an extra BDU shirt as a bandana letting the torso of the shirt fall behind my back and the arms fall over my shoulders.
if you can still find some good woods fields then using cammo will be more effective. in the USA kids arnt hunting as much as they used to so their senses arnt as sharp as they should be. moving fast to an advanced position then sitting still and letting the other team expose them selves is a very effective tactic. |
