| Do you have a ghillie on most of the time?
When sniping of course... _________________ Well L-96 Echo 1 M-16A2 - 450fps spring, tight bore barrel -  don\'t be fooled by the Echo1. |

| There should be an depends option on there for snipers that sometimes stay on the move , mobile , and some snipers who stay still , stationary . But I chose ghillie even though I do not use a ghillie suit but I use a ghillie wrap for my gun and my spotter and I cover up with a ghillie blanket that hunters sometimes use for duck hunting , cut into half . _________________ The Sniper Of Airsoft , Unseen , Unheard , Underappriciated . .

| All the time, as do the rest of the team.
Why? The game style that I play, a ghillie is the most effective way of remaining undetected. And I never really play any other role than that of sniper. |

| I don't use one because im a DM and wearing a ghillie in the middle of a normal squad kinda says something about the role that you play. Pretty soon everyone is shooting at you and it turns messy. However if i was a sniper theres no question i would wear one all the time. In the summer i might have to opt out for a viper hood or something similar, it gets hot up here  . sticks |

| In my opinion, ghilie's in airsoft aren't always a great idea. For one, they can get hot, they weigh a lot, etc... The thing that I dislike about them the most is the fact that you probably wont feel a hit from a typical AEG even at close range....
I would try just getting creative with some lightweight materials and try to camo just your upper torso and head. Add in some real foilage and you will do fine if you use the elements around you.
Being mobile is a huge plus... if you wear a ghillie you will be hot, you wont feel hits probably, and you wont be very mobile. _________________ Classic Army MG36 - 400+ FPS & 2500 rounds of pure fury.

| Though i do not own one, I would use anything that can only help my performance...
There is a way to make a light ghille...and i think if you read some of the older threads you could find out how DOA draven makes his ghille's... |

| Im building a Viper hood ATM.
Basically its just a Ghillie from the chest up. I'm having trouble deciding which outer fabric to use. Its up between a very heavie Nylon and a lighter nylon.... Unless someone can find me a really great deal on kevlar, and by great deal I mean $10 a square foot great deal.
I'll make a base guide when I'm done about the base and then you can use your own creation for the whole camo thing.

| I do not own a ghilie and i completely agree with Seabass. I was just playing a game with my friends near a popular 4-wheller track when a 4-wheller came. I had to tell my team to get down (or else they wouldn't have done it) and he didn't even see us. One kid in my group even had on a bright red t-shirt and was never seen.(I saved the day  ) _________________ History is written by the victors. You better hope you're the victor.    |
