If you say NO to ghillies...

So i obviously play the sniper role, but i would prefer not to make or purchase a ghillie suit. what would you recommend that a sniper without a ghillie should wear? Just the same apparel as everyone else? A bit of insight would be great.

Marine Style digital camo with a boonie hat (so that you can add plant life to your hat), face paint and paint over any part of your body that shows.

Carlos Hathcock never used a ghillie suit, and he did just fine, so it is possible to go without it.

Well considering a Ghillie is not your standard MIL-Uniform, and as a Sniper, concealment is one of the skills that makes it easier for a Sniper to accomplish its mission, you may want to go Un-Conventional.

REAL TREE , has apparel for all seasons and terrain, a bit pricey, but you can also use it during Hunting Season.

Just a thought.

i use the BDU and Boonie method and i say it works BETTER than a gillie on my field because you get caught on EVERYTHING

im kinda the assault sniper.... don't need ghillies heck i played a game with blue jeans and a cammo bouse and i was wasting them all greased up my barrel. depend on what u live near... like marshes... pines etc.....

BDU's. Just learn to be cutty.

i would wear digital BDUS, a tactical shemagh and a tan vest

for an assault sniper that is

Ya I'd say I'm more of an assault sniper. I wear multicam to most ops. I just make sure to get extra dirty and use paint so I blend in with my surroundings. Really, if you have a good "hiding" spot, a full ghillie suit is not needed. You can still be stealthy. In a way, you are more level headed while wearing conventional cam-patterns. With a ghillie suit, some players come to a point where they feel "invisible". That misaccount can lead to poor concealment skills. I've found multicam to be the best for my region.

I play alot of night games so i typically wear black. Heck sometimes in the day i wear black and i do just fine

I also wear a black fedora. not exactly military style, but its been my trademark for so long i could hardly take it off

I didnt wear a ghillie when I was a sniper. I wore a Boonie hat like someone said and covered up my face and everything.

use bdu and cover with veg. or if that is too ghuille just bdu with boonie hat.

the web tex concealment vest is like a pacho-esque garment with elastic straps all over it. this way theres no jute.

grab your rifle rags!

I play with snipers that don't use ghillies and one sniper does and hes just as easy to find as the players that don't wear them. Get some Marpat or Digi woodland or just plain old woodland.

If that sniper with the ghillie is being found too easily then its the snipers fault not the suit. I think there are just too many variables to consider so i wont say what you need.

To key to the sniper w/o a ghillie is concealment in the unexpected.
W/O the advantage of a ghillie you obviously can not jst lay in a field.
Take a position were you have no chance of being seen (under a tree, in a bush, and such) then choose places were people will not be expecting you.
Also DIGI is the best (marpat)

We have a semi ghillie on the team just body rag

I'd say use your terrain to your advantage. People assume that a Ghillie will hide you no matter what. This is outrageous, I once was in a shallow depression with bright blue on and a guy walked within a foot of me without noticing.
When I wear my ghillie I still act as if I'm not and I always assume that I'm the most visible player out on the field.

The only reason I saw NO to ghillies:

I'm only 13!

And I don't have the cash.

How does you being 13 effect your feelings on Ghillies. and a good ghillie doesnt require more than $15-25.

Wouldn't it be funky seeing a small big foot? Cause that's how I look with one.

you can tape foliage to your clothes with masking tape or 100mph tape.
@sniper fox
is that you in your avatar? cuz you look fine.

Yeah, that's me. It looks like I'm older, but honestly, that camera I took with it sucked. It makes me look bigger than I really am.

you look about the same as most of them....

I'm 13. A tiny, skinny, five foot five Asian kid.
