Pretty aggressive and unnecessary response. It was an honest question and I think the responses have been a little harsh.

SniperSam, if you think black looks cool with whatever you're wearing - go for it. Whatever you choose I bet you someone has worn something more ridiculous. There are no rules as far as gear is considered as long as your eyes and junk are covered.

There's nothing better than black when you're playing in an abandoned building or any other DARK areas.
It's not as common as the other options, but it's cool to have a black BDU

Black clothing is caused from the absence of color from light reflected from the clothing, the material absorbs color to appear black.
When you stand in a dark corner and are wearing black, you are actually DARKER than the corner, provided that the room isn't painted black. If you move in a dark room, the person can see you as a MOVING ABSENCE OF COLOR. This also applies to outdoors (more so).

Black is used by Police and SWAT for the purpose of looking official and being Police and SWAT.

Darker (Green Side OP) Camouflage such as DPM, Woodland, Cadpat, Marpat etc... Will work better in a darker environment because it breaks up the human form AND doesn't glow in the dark like lighter (Desert OP) camouflage such as Tri Color Desert, Multicam, AOR1, Arid Cadpat etc...

Black tends to stand out, regardless of your environment, unless you are standing still in an area of no light at all. If you move, you will be seen.

If you want to wear black because it looks cool, or you're doing an impression, go for it, but wearing it for outdoors or night ops will get you shot a lot.

I think that's wrong, Dark Green or Navy is the best from what i've heard. (Speaking solid colors)
edit, damnit shouldn't have made noodles before finishing my comment


OT
I think this guy had a honest question but didn't know what it is.

IMO
Get a woodland BDU and black gear, that will look cool with most guns too but you don't have to match perfectly and sometimes a OPFOR loadout feels and looks best.

Your getting a sniper rifle, right? Well... unless your CQBing with a TM vsr-10, I don't think black would be a very good choice, if you wanted to be properly camouflaged. But it all really depends on where you're playing, black doesn't blend in or break up your outline very well...

There's a person on my field who wears a black tacvest and black mask over an ACU BDU, you see a moving black blob... It's very intimidating, but not very practical.

Thank you penguin. Jesus christ, i asked 2 different questions in two different threads? OMFG im sorry. And no Assault, im not going to be a sniper soon if or when i play i airsoft, ive opted to try fielding for awhile, see if I like it. Ive always been a sniper, so it was always a handmade ghillie suit with a hydration pack. Ive never worn a vest, or holsters, or needed a dump pouch; so if I'm doing something completely new to me, and I cant seem find a thread that aids my plait, Im sorry for posting in the GEAR section under a different thread since I dont think has to do with ACU.
And Brian, i meant OD as in a lighter green, when i see/hear someone talking about green im thinking the green that the USAF uses. I really dont see why an innocent question has to turn into this. And yes ive gone to army surplus stores, but i dont agree with the look when i put it on

Does someone need a hug? You sound angry. Angry people usually need a hug. And if you have shit to say about family be ready to back it up. Just saying.

there are many threads on different colour scheme's

If you've gone to a surplus store and found it didn't work, asking again is useless, common sense is not so common...

Asking for an informed opinion is, obviously you dont see it that way
