Field eXpedients Stoner M16A2 Assault Rifle Desert Camo Fix

Time is of the essence; if U.S. Soldiers are not allowed to TAN spray paint their Eugene Stoner/Jim Sullivan M16/M4 Assault Rifles/Carbines like 30-round magazines

which is absurd--then they need to immediately TAN camouflage their weapons by using 3-color desert or the opposite side of ACUPAT Camo Form stretch tape by McNett; a don't-alter-the-item option available for magazines, too

The BLACK RIFLE is sexy and eye-catchy but an easy aimpoint for the enemy. If 4, 400+ dead and 24, 000 wounded Americans in Iraq/Afghanistan are not reason enough what is? One American casualty due to poor camouflage is one too many. FUNCTION must over-ride FORM and the M16/M4s in use must change their colors NOW by Soldier-level Do-It-Yourself (DIY).

You can TAN spray paint the McNett reverse side ACUPAT tape if the camouflage is still less than desired.

Camo Form INSTRUCTIONS

Follow standard safety precautions when applying Camo Form™ to weapons. Make sure weapon is not loaded, confirm that the safety is in the "on safe" position and point the barrel away from you at all times. Camo Form should not interfere with the safety or action of a firearm. If this occurs after application, remove Camo Form and reapply in a manner that allows for the proper function of all parts.

Instructions: Simply stretch and wrap Camo Form around desired object, overlapping each successive wrap by ¼ inch. For best adhesion apply in temperatures above 40º F (5º C). To wrap moving parts, such as binocular or scope dials, cut small strips of Camo Form and wrap moving parts separately to allow these controls to move freely.

NOTE: Wet Camo Form should be removed from moisture sensitive items such as wood stocks, gun barrels, optics, etc. Allow Camo Form and item to dry, then reapply. If Camo Form loses self cling properties over time due to extended exposure to sunlight or extreme heat, fabric can be reused and secured with tape.
To Clean & Help Maintain Self-Cling

Properties: Remove Camo Form from object and hand wash with soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.

Storage: Store Camo Form in sealed plastic bag away from direct sunlight and extreme heat.

See now, I could go out and buy all this stuff, but I know soon enough someone high up in the Army will get their head out of their ass and replace ACU because its poor camoflauge, and it'll all be wasted.

[dynmicpara]

We need to request McNett to make Multi-Cam Camo Form tape.

[Fromero5400]

where do you get that camo tape?

[dynmicpara]

Read video description.

[iceteaguy]

Whatever asshead decided that soldiers and marines shouldn't be allowed to spray-camo their rifles really deserves to be put into a combat zone with a shiny black rifle.

[they7692]

that's awesome. i hope the soldiers are allowed to implement this on a large scale... black doesn't blend well with sand.

[TomSchiratti]

@dynmicpara They do now. But you're probably aware.

[loopyboopoo1]

@dynmicpara im 14 and i bought the woodland camo but same brand

if you just take your tape ( self sticking) and basically turn it inside ( i found out it works with most of these camo designs) if you reverse it inside out it becomes a woodland camo

just thought i could help

[thenerd1000]

@YourfavorateAKguy yup

[YourfavorateAKguy]

[S2kloveyou]

[HealeyIRA5]

[dynmicpara]

[mercturd85]
