dmarkwick 261 Posted October 7, 2009 Blue isn't really as odd as it first seems, as it's the last colour to be bled out of any object at distance. Look at the furthest away guy, and the vegetation behind him, you might be able to see how even vegetation starts looks blue due to distance and the filtering of light due to atmosphere. Let's face it, camo doesn't work at that distance anyway. However, I agree that it's not as effective as green ;) maybe those guys are trainers or something.

TRexian 0 Posted October 7, 2009 Plus, in urban areas, green tends to stand out. So does that blue, but there you go. I wonder, though, if there are alot of blue buildings on the beaches of Taiwan... in that case, such camo makes some sense.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That guy 10 Posted October 7, 2009 the funny thing is, I wanted to know what you were talking about with the PLAMC camo, so i googled it and low and behold, the very first entry is this forum topic! I laughed bu it was not very informative :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rellikki 7 Posted October 8, 2009 Well, that's definately not the worst looking camo I've seen. Check out this other PLA camo though: http://domhyde.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/pla-cloud-cam.jpg :p Usually the purpose of camouflages like that is for fast recognition in combat situations.

They are performers in show, The uniform are sheer fabrication, and the actors (no soldiers) use toy G36 in hand :D If you need know any about PLA, PM me will be better than use google.:p PLAMC DCU07 Edited October 8, 2009 by fromz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
That guy 10 Posted October 8, 2009 Hey fromz, could you give us a little background info on why the PRC felt it was necessary to dress some actors up in bright blue "cloud" camo, and give them cheap airsoft G36? In public no less? this story sounds quite amusing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Second 0 Posted October 9, 2009 Hey fromz, could you give us a little background info on why the PRC felt it was necessary to dress some actors up in bright blue "cloud" camo, and give them cheap airsoft G36? In public no less?this story sounds quite amusing Uniform i can understand, it looks cool and audience probably loves it. Iäm all down with that "military should look dirty as if it had jsut returned from field, wearing only functional uniforms and equipment"... But parades and shows still looks amazing, when performers looks flashy and do challenging things with rifles, like play catch with them etc (if i would do those things my instructors would ram boot up to my arse, several times) Actors? I don't understand, as Chinese military without doubt has enough manpower to filter men with same body build and good outlooks and train them to do this kind of things. Train them to do demanding rifle drills and perform in parades and shows... Maybe this was some sort of tribute to Military from media-ministry or something? toy-guns... I don't understand. Not that audience would know... But maybe it has got something to do with law? If you have civilian actors then Chinese law might forbidden them to carry real guns. So they have to use fake guns. But choosing G36 feels odd. Not that i could claim to understand Chinese state of mind too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
