Does that camo the Brazilian C-SAR use have a name?

And cool-looking Boonie/jungle/ etc. hats too...

[Deuterium]

RATS!!!! I was hoping for some bathing beauties on the beach in Rio. Nice MC-4s though. Ah the old frap-hat.

[Deuterium]

I see they are still jumping FF2s. We just had a Marine die in Yuma jumping the ARR.

[Deuterium]

Also no O2 fittings on the hats, I think. What do you guys use?

[elguapo]

not really, they don't have nice names like chock chip etc....

They are using the Airforce pattern wich is different from the marines and the army patern

[elguapo]

No O2, it's not halo or haho (I hope)


here's a low altitude snaphook jump video from a similar exercise

It's called airforce pattern, in portuguese Padrão Força Aérea or Padrão Aeronáutica.

By the way, are they the only brazil force using sig:s?

[elguapo]

hey don't bash our cactus fighters! I bet you wouldn't last a day in that environment, specially if u had to take a tactical dump without any toilet paper and soft bushes or leafs!

about the sigs it's the standard rifle for the airforce, some second line MP still got the hk33/53 but they are almost gone.

the navy uses the m16a2/m4

and the army is stuck with FALs 7.62 and 5.56 locally built until the new rifle enters production

One may argue that it looks like a FAL but it' a completely different weapon. Imbel had some neat designs including a bullpup but they weren't accepted by the army which tends to be conservative
