    You just posted it in the wrong section. Check www.airsoftforum.com they have so many different rattle can instructions it's silly. Also check youtube.

    or the bolt. Take it out and tape off the hole before you start painting it. Most guys do a base of tan and accents of green and black. I'm not a big fan of black in camo as far as effectiveness, but it "looks better." Experiment worst thing that can happen is you have to repaint it.

    im probably going to playing woods ball at acz, so probably woodland type. I've got camo (hand-me-down hunting gear.). i tested it by dressing my brother up in it and put him in the woods and could only see him from about 10 feet away, so im good on that. we did vise versa, and he said the only thing that gives me away is my gun.

    i prefer hunter camo for woodland games. instead of painting it, you can use woodland camo tape from walmart or use a ghilly type wrap over it. once you outgrow it, you can sell it off and hold it's value better being unpainted. i outgrew it pretty quick.

    Be careful wih that, sometimes some of that camo tape can leave a sticky residue on the rifle. I prefer paint cus you can just paint over it.

    It probably will leave a residue, but that can be removed with a little acetone and elbow grease. I like the ghillie idea.

    If you can get some burlap, I can help show you how to do it up. Also need Krylon Camo paint to change up the colors of the burlap. Also, ask your mom for an old pair of panty hose. These will be cut up so she won't be getting them back.

    Too bad it sounds kinkier than it really is. Some is put over the forward end of the scope. Helps to get rid of glare/reflection.

    Also, for those reading this, if you have a red dot, you can put the safety cover on the front and still see the dot on your target.....IF...you keep both eyes open as you should. Don't believe me? Try it. If it doesn't work...your doing something wrong.

    I learned than also! Slap some tape over the front of your eotech and your good to go. It's a good way to train yourself to use a reddot properly (both eyes open). Also if you keep the cover closed you don't have to worry about the lens being shot out!
