Army issues instructions for painting M16s, M4s

[pardus]

Can't they just issue camouflaged weapons in the first place?

That's crazy talk!
Next you'll be asking for a decent salary!

Like the SCAR?
FWIW- The first M-16's had a green stock/pistol grip. Then the Army took over and made everything uniformly black.

At least Magpul PMAGs come in OD, foliage green, and flat dark earth. And they work better than the GI mags.

PMAG's are RFI'ed to soldiers deploying, they started that back in 2009 I think. They also upgraded the followers for the GI mags, they have been doing well in my GI mags but I still like my PMAG's better.

I agree with SOWT that the Army should start having the weapons coated in flat dark earth or something like it. CereaKoate would be an easy fix and it's something that could be done at all weapons, M249,M240, ect,ect,ect.

Does CereaKoate come in spray cans?

I have not seen it in spray can form, but it can be air brushed on fairly easy. Basic poop is you media blast the finish off, clean it with stripper or degrease, spray it with CereaKoate and then bake it for about 30 min. It would require a unit armor to strip the weapon down (controls and all).

It's been done before, I dare say it will be done again.

This a video that LowLight from Snipers Hide did on CeraKoate being put to the test, pretty badass stuff.

 

[ÉIREGOBRÁCH1922]

Nice video. ;)

I must try that CeraKoate.

I wish. I hate our blue bdus. Makes everyone look like garage mechanics.

I've done it, when I was issued JGs (yeah get fucked, I was issued JGs

), turned out pretty good as a matter of fact.
