Name Patches on Admin Pouch
 

Hey guys, just got my new Phantom CMS-PC Tactical Vest from 1337tactical, and I want to know where I could find those name patches with velcrow made?

I think Team Ghost has them? Not sure?

Also, what goes on the big velcrow spot? Your team logo patch?

I'm pretty new to the vest thing, so I got this one to go with.

*Don't mind the tape on the pistol grip, just wanted to see how it worked out, and the kneepads are in paint progress.

Theres a few good places, I personally used 1800-nametapes for mine, great product... Lots of different designs, logos, patches, ect.. All come with, or by request velcrow backed to stick on that big velcro plate... stick whatever u want on there really including name tape.

1-800 Name Tape has multicam tapes with velcro in both standard sizes (for BDU's) and for hat/caps/vests (about 2/3 length of bdu tapes). The velcro is top notch and not like the hook velcro most people have seen.

As far as what to put on, whatever your heart desires. I have my name tape and team patch. Blood type could fit too as they're usually pretty small.

Thanks, what's the difference between branch and name tape?

To give you an idea...

here's mine.

Yeah, should've got Ciras. But anyways, 150$. :)

Just gave me an idea, I DO have velcrow tape.
Thanks.

I also saw a nice OD coloured Canadian Flag at Beavers Surplus. I'm going to stick that where the big velcrow pocket is.

Thanks youonlywish for the idea.

Name tape says your name; a branch tape says what branch of service you're in. ie US ARMY US MARINES etc

I wouldn't advise getting a branch tape.


Most people just toss on a blood type(either cloth or IR) or a IR flag, morale patches, etc. All I have on my chest rig an tac vest(for work) is IR squares, IR flag and a blood type patch I got off cpgear.

Cool, guess I'm getting name tape than. They said 1 inch, is it really that small? or should I get 6 inch?

The place where the Name tape should go on is only 5 inches in length for space going from left to right.

The bottom of that is the space is about 7 inches for length going from left to right.

You sure its not 1 inch wide, and 6 inches long for the name tape?

If the name tape doesn't fit on one part than just more it to a place that it will fit.

The ones I got from 1 800 Name Tape come in 6" (BDU) length and 3" (Admin/hat/vest) length,

Black isnt all that bad. I love my luluLemon black sport jacket. Its not just good for keeping warm and wicking away sweat. Its tactically sexy and takes playing with style to the next level. Its not so good for blending in outdoors unless your playing at night, but indoors it doesnt really matter what you wear I guess. But Amos is pretty much has it right, mixing black and multicam doesnt really work all that well.

For my admin panel whenever I use a vest that has one, Usually mount two tap lights on the front. If you look on the side of my vest closest to my hand given the "OK" you can see one of the tap lights I used mounted to my vest. If I feel like mounting a patch its usually some band patch or a big pink suicide girls patch.

Oh my, Tokyo, I wear lululemon too! I love the shirts.
Planning to get the exact same look as Tokyo!
I now need a scarf balaclava. Knee pads were just painted khaki.

Hmm for glowsticks, I have these Garrity ones from Wal-Mart. Very awesome!
It looks like a glowstick, but has a on and off switch. Run with those 3 1.5v cell and LED.

Only black I will have in my gear is the holster.. The belt will be covered under the shirt, and still waiting for my OD coloured motorcycle gloves from a friend.

PROTIP 2: MULTICAM SCREAMS AIRSOFT


Some people are into that, tho.

Glow sticks are nice because they are disposable. Thats the only reason I like them. Last game I was at, someone threw a glow stick in the room to light it up from what was almost pitch black. I did the best thing I could, I grabbed it and shoved it down my pants

I like lululemon for jackets, shorts and pants, but I wear underarmor for a shirt under anytype of bdu.

You look nothing like what I thought you would.. weird.....

Spray your holster... Or get a new one... IMO those cheap droplegs are garbage, they shift when running... Mount it on your vest, That way when you take a knee you wont get a gun full of mud.

Until awile back I did too :) you're still on my list of people to meet before I die though!

Glowsticks are handy just 'cause never know when you're going to need them.

Nice looking vest though :( I need one (still)

PROTIP 3: MULTICAM DOES NOT ACTUALLY WORK THAT WELL IN GREEN FOLIAGE.

hahaha
Multicamp is a sniper bagnet color.
Just like black.

Shh.. It works perfectly well... Let them keep using it :D

Well I hope I didnt disappoint you to much, I know Im not as beautiful as any of the suicide girls I use for an avatar, but I could always be alot uglier!

true, you could look like Aquamarine. :D

Aquamarine will be proud of that statement!

Is like a dotted line, depends on the sunshine pouring through the spaces between the trees, and the amount of dead shit in the area. I've been told a couple times when running and gunning through the woods I'd be seen then disappear, then seen and disappear. Quite literally it all depends on movement and lighting. Cadpat can show up as a very dark silhouette often as well. There is no perfect "mulitcam", only perfect use of camo.

And as far as multicam being "airsoftcam" about a month ago I saw (think it was on Future Weapons) a 101st Airborne exercise using (can't remember the technology) full multicam. And since even the RCMP have adopted multicam as their special uniform...................

And as much as people complain about multicam, I can't help but laugh at say "At least Multicam clothing isn't sold at Walmart like MARPAT and woodland is!" Lol

Top Gear Top Tip: Multicam Nametapes w/ Hook& loop can be found at www.1800nametape.com

so people use glow sticks for lighting up rooms in CQB?

Yup, just snap them and throw them in. It helps light up dark rooms and that way you dont have to use your lights to give away your position. Some folks dont know what to do when a glow stick gets tossed in, alot of the time they just stand there and stare at it.

For me, when that happens theres many things you can do, throw it back, but that gives away your position, or pick it up and cram it down your pants, which effectively extinguishes the light, but they still know your there, finally, take less than a split second to analyze the room and see how the light is cast, then get into the best dark spot, take a deep breath and flush up against a wall, hopefully by a door. Take a bouncy ball or squeeky toy (yes I carry shit like that on me when I play), when they walk in the room you throw the ball or toy away from you, most folks go for the noise, thats when you silently take a step out the door and leave the area.I could probly list dozens of method and possiblilies that require certain varibales to pull off but you get the idea.

Cool. I think I might just have to trade the holster for a different colour. This one is made by Mil-Force...

Just got the OD Canada Flag for 3$ at Beavers Surplus today. :D

Who are you gonna shoot first here, me (in multicam) or Hazard (in cadpat)?

Or here (me in multicam)?

Sometimes multicam stands out REALLY bad (like ACU does 90% of the time unless in the desert and very dirty); other times it's better than cadpat, marpat, etc........... pick your preference.

Pictures don't show silhouette, sound, shape, shine, texture etc. All the camouflage in the world wont do a damn bit of good if you're silhoetted.

Point is, and you've already said as much, that Multicam really isn't any better than anything else. Like any other system, it's only as good as the person wearing it and the environment it's worn in. Unfortunately, it's become the airsoft-standard uniform, and beyond me if I can understand why.

Dude! It's teh 733tness lolzors!!!1!!!1!!one!1

True enough to a point, the best cases I've seen are those two pics, unaltered like the Crye website has (but both ot those pics say a thousand words regardless), but it's growing as a standard in the US among the AR shooters club as well. Can't pick up an issue of SWAT, Tactical Gear, etc. without seeing multicam everywhere in it (check out the Grail AR-15 in its fancy MC skin), instructors of renowned gun courses, etc. Seems maybe those (like you) who own ARs, and airsofters go hand in hand when it comes to multicam (admit it, even though you hate it, you still own an expensive set of multicam BDUs).

I'm above and beyond most airsofters when it comes to camo (not enough to grow an ego over though), how to use it, pros & cons of different patterns, etc, and even after a couple dozen games wearing mutlicam, I can honestly say it's a hit or miss thing. Cadpat is retarded easy to learn to use, head for shadows and cedar trees and you are laughing..... elsewhere (including at night, it's a dark silhoutte, something multicam doesn't do unless being viewed through IR goggles/scope, and only then it's because of the IFF treatment the real material has), but I seriously feel venerable when wearing multicam because I am still trying to learn to see like another would when I position myself, and it is honestly fucking hard to know when you are missing, and when you are right there. I'd love to meet someone who has mastered how to use multicam to it's full advantage in changing environments, such as playing at the average field for an airsoft game. But those are literally few and far between, unless out in Alberta or something with more beige in their environment than anything else.

ACU usage is worse than mutlicam, and stands out 80% more. And yes, we all know you have an NVG scope, so stop pointing out that MC is flawed slimply because it has IFF treatment. And then admit you want MC as well, as you have previously. ;)

Next time I see you in ACU, I got dibs on the news section, to keep up with politics. :D

What is my Admin pouch for if I cant put any damn patches on it?

I have my name tape, a patch that was given to me by a team mate who is now in Iraq (US Airsoft one), Flag, Medic badge, and my Gear Meter patch!

SHHHHHHH....
...don't be giving away too many trick of the trade on open forums!! LOL

Unfortunatly, I am also a victim of multi cam. I've been in the sport almost 14 years now and have never purchased (or really need a vest), but I got a wicked deal on a couple of CIRAS vests (complete with all pouches), and for the price I figured I can't go wrong. LOL guess I'm in with the "trendy" group now.
.....though I suspect that the MULTICAM will make an excellent base to build a ghillie on.

SHA DO

I've worn my mutlicam exposed under my ghillie and survived, am sure others would too.

BTW, my gear is either khaki or OD, only gear I have that is MC is my drop leg for my MK23.

thats what people always say when they see a pimp for the first time....

that is a sick g36 man
i think im in love

That's the problem with MC, it's the IFF treatment that is flawed. That treatment is supposed to make you more difficult to see through NV, all my issued stuff has it as well, and it works damned peachy. All the MC I've seen with it lights up like a Christmas tree, which is what the coating is supposed to prevent.
And you won't see me in ACU anytime soon. I ditched it all, except for a couple pairs of cool cutoff shorts ;) . Don't know why I bothered in the first place. Cadpat's free.

You look better in cadpat anyways. Lol, makes you look slimmer. ;) Besides, 'it's better to look like a tree than to look like an American'. (Old joke I assume you've heard.)

I thought IFF was supposed to light up with NVGs, hence the Identification Friend/Foe. I mean, the panels on vehicles and shoulder patches glow only in NVG, but isn't that the whole IFF thing anyways?

No, it's meant to supress your IR signature. Friendlies aren't the only ones with NV these days. IR recognition comes from those little velcro tab thingies.

Ah, ok.

My camo doesnt really give me away to often. I find that the biggest thing that gives away my position in games is when I pass gas. Its never silent, as hard as I try to squeak it out silently, it always turns out to be one of those blowing a tuba through a megaphone farts.

My fiance sounds like a ship coming to harbour too, you guys should hook up

Polish Grom are using something pretty close to Multicam these days...

With enough of us, we could bring a hilarious level of chemical warfare to airsoft.

Is because the Polish airsofters have more "combat" experience than their military does, therefore they are using airsofters as their sepcial ops dudes, same as the 101st Airborne are filled with mostly airsofters. ;)

WHOA WHOA WHOA....

Funny things show up when you search for your username.... wtf

Wow, I thought only Istermay Itmanhay did that.
