One Shepherd takes out S&S Patrol Leader
Переглядів 455Рік тому
During the final firefight at the One Shepherd 40th Anniversary FTX (Fall 2021), S&S Patrol Leader moves to contact, conducts a Friend or Foe Challenge, on unknown personnel. He receives no password in reply to the challenge and then fires onto One Shepherd warriors. He is then subsequently MILES near missed and then killed by the One Shepherd attacking personnel.

Dyed UCP Lvl 5 & 6 Camouflage Effectiveness
Переглядів 9 тис.2 роки тому
VERY affordable alternative to the LVL 5 & 6 layers of the ECWCS system. A good wet/cold weather layer during the fall/winter months is a must, but the Multicam/ OCP pattern will run you a couple hundred dollars for each set. Using our dye method you can turn that useless UCP pattern into one that will actually work with the fall & winter months in the midwest, for a fraction of the cost. You c...

      @@geoffmcnew5863 We do make it a point to not let AARs turn into "Who Killed, Who." or war story time. Just what went well, what to continue and what to fix. Our OCs have two main jobs: safety of students and respawn when needed, not play GOD with the students in training, killing them needlessly to feed their own ego. Killing trainees needlessly stops any potential learning from happening and stifles actual combat outcomes that are possible with MILES FoF. Not to mention it destroys faith/buy in of the scenario. We do not record kills, just train small unit tactics and let the students determine the outcome with their actions. Thanks for the comment!

    There is a small hole in the front of the M-16 transmitter. If you lightly tap the hole with your finger, the laser silently fires. No need to fire a blank. We had fun with this in training in '91. You can do it casually, bunch of folks sitting around eating lunch or whatever, all of the sudden someone's gear starts alarming, then you have to find an instructor with a God key. Troops will always find a way to mess around!

      @@sstrainingsolutions3832 Just dyed my level 5 ACU jacket last night with taupe and it came out perfectly. This is my third time using taupe. Taupe is a lighter dye so make sure you use 1 bottle of dye per 2 pounds of fabric and agaitate for 30 mins straight, and then I agiated every 15 minutes until I hit an hour of dye time. Since the level 5 is so thin it took the dye really well but I've noticed that molle pouches with the taupe dye dont dye as dark becasue they are thicker. They end up looking like a really dirty ACU but are still wayyyyy better in desert/brown conditions. This is why i started following the 2 pounds of fabric per bottle and i think the pouches turned out better since its more concentrated. Also I used water at like 160ish degrees to start since i didn't want to damage the jacket with straight boiling water. Wish I could DM you a picture on youtube lol.

    Can MILES gear mimic ballistics (like bullet drop relative to aim)?

    • @sstrainingsolutions3832
      @sstrainingsolutions3832 7 місяців тому

      It does slightly. The laser fired is a rectangular box with the kill code information in the center. Out at 500 yards the kill ratio is increased in the lower portion of the box making a slight correction for drop needed. It is not exactly true to 5.56 ballistic however, being a laser and traveling in a straight line. But they did program it as best as can to mimic it.

      Might be the difference in material composition. Depending on the blend of cotton to nylon, it can change the look. Also, Rit dye does not work as well on things like polyester. They do make a dye for synthetics but I haven't used it. Check the labels if you still have the clothing and see if the blend is different or if one includes synthetic fabrics other than nylon. Rit seems to work on nylon fairly well, but other synthetics not so much.

    im gonna be honest, i think it blended better un-dyed, and to claim this is so much better is purely out of hatred for ucp than it is actual reason i dont think its a problem with the idea in general, ive seen some ucp dyed with instant coffee that had it's lighter tones match a coyote brown tone incredibly well, which i think would work much better here as it's a lot brighter resulting in less of a silhouetting effect (especially in the shade)
