| Not too much. Uniforms (unless rare) will lose money VERY quickly. You may be able to get $40 or $50 if you are lucky. | |

| Yeah just keep them. Nothing wrong with having a backup uniform. Even if it is.... ARPAT *gags* | |

| Well I ended up getting the stripes so I no longer need to sell it.
@Drummer Army is my second fav branch under AF. I think they do a better job then marines and tend to use tactics over power in numbers. Marines are more like theres a wall go over it bust it down and move on, army is the lets go around and use it for cover and not get shot by the .50 cal waiting for us.
Marines have better camo and yes the army really messed up on ACU.
No effence to marines it's how they are trained. | |

| Whoa dude don't go around talking out of your ass like that. You haven't worked with the armed forces before so I don't think it's in your place to analyze their methods.
Anyway, all I was implying is that I hate ARPAT. | |

| I have a cousin who did four tours in Fallujah with I MEF. He hasn't been shot to death with a big .50 yet. There's also my SMI who was in 'Nam and my MI who was in '91 Persian Gulf, Somalia, and Iraq. Neither of them were shot to death with a .50... As drummer said, please don't talk out of your ass about such things. | |

| How I hate the internet... Guys, who cares? It's stupid anyways, just don't worry about it. I feel that this forum is getting to "Hoity Toity." Lets just focus on having fun. | |

| Ya guys, you need to keep your mouths shut about some things. If this were my forum, I'd be handing out suspensions for just that...and I await the day it happens on Airsoft Allies. Now back to the ACU's...condition is everything. If they were mint, you'd be able to get 45-MSRP out of em...if theyre a bit worn, you'd get 35-45 out of em...and if there is any fraying at all, I wouldnt pay more than 30 for them. I've given up on selling my camo...it's not worth my time. If you're desperate to sell, include something else in the package...like a magazine or bottle of GG or something related. | |

I have heard it called Arpat and Acupat plenty of times. They have all been adopted as names for the same pattern. | |

| ACU is the designation for the actual style of the uniform. Placement/angle of pockets, type of collar, etc. For example, you will see a lot of MARPAT ( Marine Pattern) in the ACU style rather than the old (and obsolete) BDU style... The actual "camouflage" pattern, if you could call it that, is ARPAT ( Army Pattern). I do my research EDIT: Yes the pattern itself is commonly known as ACU but you can validly call it ARPAT, ACUPAT, or UCP (Universal Camouflage Pattern...which I laugh at ) | |
