CADPAT individual camouflage screens....

[McG]

They are only issued to Reg CBt arms and Inf Reserves from what I have been told...

Reserve engineers do get them issued.

Its odd, we get TW and Arid from the QM, and you can get the Winter one from ASU if you ask for it. They seem very easy to get.

I love mine. If you have to make a bush your home for an hour or 2, I also find it keep the bugs off your face and deflects the wind a little bit while providing good, no GREAT cover. I think it's a good, simple piece of kit!

These CADPAT things hit suprlus shops here over 7 yrs ago, and when I was back in Canada in late 97, I gave the NSN to the RQ in Regina and he ordered some thru the system.

Wierd how such things can happen. He had not even heard of them at the time, and meanwhile they end up by the 100 here in Sydney. They were my first look at CADPAT up close.

I have two here in Australia.


Cheers,

I was issued one in the OP's back in 99, I have since carried it around with me, still in the wrapper since then.  Back in September, I decided to actually use the thing, so I cut it to a million pieces and put it on my helmet as scrim.  Now my helmet looks pretty swanky and doesn't get heavy from absorbing water in the rain.  Plus my headlamp now resided permanently on my helmet but is completely covered by the net hanging down.  Finally, this stuff doesn't disintegrate like hessian and burlap, so there is never a ton of material falling down your shirt, getting in your eyes, mouth, or any other orifice.  I have used these things as the front cover of the OP hole, and they work great because you can see through them with the binos as though there is nothing there.  I just got tired of carrying something and decided that Scrim was ready to move to the Mk 2 stage on my head.  Just make sure you wash the stuff before you put it on the helmet, cause the coating fromt he factory comes off in the rain and leaves a horrible taste in your mouth.

Side note... we discovered you can shoot them (With 5.56mm anyway, no idea about 7.62mm) and it doesn't do anything to them, as the rounds just pass through the holes in the screen. We had them draped over targets for a night shoot, still in almost perfect condition when finished.

We cut them into strips and tied em to chicken wire to help camouflage the 25mm bushmaster barrel.Works great, long lasting

I won't point out what conclusion that leads me to.  ;D

 

[chrisf]

Had anyone failed the shoot, your conclusion would be right, but everyone passed.
