how to tell if your acu's are actual issue or fakes.

this is how you tell if your acu's are actual army issue or just cheap knockoffs. look at them threw a night vision device with an ir illuminator, the real issue acu's will still look camo under the infrared while the fakes will look like a bright white reflector/bullet magnet. the ones on the right are real issue and the ones on the left are store bought from dicks sporting goods.the reason being that the army issue acu's have whats called NIR technology meaning "near infrared signature management technology" look it up. sorry for the poor quality my camera dosent actually have a night vision function so i was filming with the lens up against the eyepiece for my nv scope.

good for you, i gotta get me one of those...

[nmack75]

Uhm...why does this clip even exist? And why did I just watch it?

[brooksysdead]

theres alot more useless crap on the internet than this.... this exists so people buying what they think are real army issue acu's have a way to test if they if they are real or cheap knockoffs... you watched it because you have no life just like the rest of us...

I have 4 real army issued uniforms...Only cuz I'm in the army!!! WOOT!

[Xboxgametactics]

i KNOW as a fact that mine is real because i got it at Fort Knox army base and me and me brother(who is the army) compared my ACU and his ACU oh and airsofters, not sure if this is important to you..multicam is used in afghanistan now i don't know why i love digital but they booted it >:(

[spycell]

I don't know why people hate this video, the title say what it is, and they still watch it...

Anyways, I find this usefull, I may never have use of this information, but atleast it is something new and that most people don't know.

ACU is the WORST camo design ever created.

I have no idea why I just wasted 33 seconds of my life watching this vid so i watched it again

Real Army Digital uniforms light up when look at threw IR, its so you dont shot your buddy at night in a fight. Mil-spec, voodoo, etc "knock-off" dont have the chemicals in them to light up threw IR.

@dlon9 i think it's all items, i just checked my knee/elbow pads and they still had the pattern, but i could be wrong

[dlon9]

is that all real items nir compliant? such as ponchos, pouches etc?

or just the jacket, trousers only?

thank you
