Title: Airsoft Patches
Post by: Raith on June 15, 2006, 04:34:35 PM: (http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/patches/allpatches.jpg)
Over the years I've been playing airsoft, I've amassed a fair number of patches and the like.

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/patches/oppatches.jpg)
Among the ones I like the most are the patches given at Ops.

Operation Crimson Dunes - August 16-18, 2002 (Agua Dulce, CA)
Operation Restore Order - November 7-9, 2003 (Riverside, CA)
Operation Lion Claws III - May 28-30, 2004 (Tehachapi, CA)
Operation Cold Burn - November 19-21, 2004 (Four Peaks, AZ)
Operation Lion Claws IV - May 27-29, 2005 (Tehachapi, CA)
Operation Irene III - September 23-25, 2005 (Ft. Knox, KY)
Operation Lion Claws V - May 26-28, 2006 (Hesperia, CA)

I don't know what that is on the Crimson Dunes patch. It kinda looks like a scorpion, but it only has six legs, so who knows.

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f36/castle-bravo/patches/aapatches.jpg)
But I think these are my favorite.

At some point in the future, there will another run or perhaps another version of the AA patch for those people who don't have these ones.

Post by: -MAD- SARGE on June 15, 2006, 05:56:15 PM: My favorite is Ralf picking his nose.

I also like the AA patches, though I never got one when I had the chance.

Crimson Dunes wasnt that good from what I hear, so it looks like the patch reflects that well : )

Post by: Viper on June 15, 2006, 07:45:00 PM: It is a scorpion, the 2 front claws are actually legs.
Sorry for correcting you.

Well, I was kidding. I know its supposed to be a scorpion.

But, actually, scorpions, like all arachnids, have 8 legs. That one was just made or copied by someone who didn't know any better.

I like the Ralph patch too, Ryan.
Title:
Post by: rclementew on June 15, 2006, 08:48:59 PM: what he was saying is that scorpions are arachnids b/c they count the two claws as legs. They only have 6 "legs" so the patch is actually correct.

Post by: Vince on June 16, 2006, 12:32:52 AM: That's not a real patch though! That's just a colorized version of your logo you put a crosshatch pattern on!

I call shenanigans.

I'll have to take a picture of my patch collection tomorrow, even though I accidentally left half the box at JT Scottsdale.

The pedipalps are never counted as part of the 8 legs which distinguish an arachnid, so no the patch is not correct, dont believe me? try and find a photograph of a scorpion with 6 legs.

Post by: Doc Hollywood on June 16, 2006, 01:25:27 AM: Try a scoprion that was unfortunate enough to get capture by some bored 11B soldiers in some remote EDRE.... sick puppies would pull their leggs off and make them fight.....

Arizona is full of mutant scorpions with ten legs then.

Post by: rclementew on June 16, 2006, 04:25:14 PM: I killed a 6 legged scorpion last night so the statement "Arizona is full of mutant scorpions..." is probably not all that far off.

I learn something new every day.

lets see a pic, becase the only way it is 6 legged is by the fact you can't count or someone/thing dismembered it.

Post by: Farslayer on June 16, 2006, 04:41:27 PM: Caught one of these in my backyard...thinking of making a patch out of it:

(http://www.tribuneindia.com/2002/20021018/wd6.jpg)

Not sure...
Title:
Post by: rclementew on June 16, 2006, 04:45:25 PM: sorry i don't keep my dead scorpions and take pictures. I'm not arguing, just telling you what I saw last night. Maybe the two forelegs were covered by the pinchers. I can swear though that its not the first time i've seen/killed a 6 legged scorpion.

...they are out there...watching...waiting...
Title:
Post by: Farslayer on June 17, 2006, 08:25:53 AM: A lot of patches have been based off of odd looking animals in the past

Nice collection of Op patches Raith

I'd like to know that too, I'll be buying some SWG RAID II BDUs soon and I'd like something to put on them.
Title:
Post by: Viper on June 20, 2006, 03:17:06 PM: Dang my Bio-teacher needs to go brush up on that then. Cool patches though.I like the one Ganef had with the hammer and sickle on it. Sorry I don't know ya'll's real names.
Title:
Post by: Dammit! on June 20, 2006, 06:48:07 PM: yea. is that from an old soviet uniform? or is is from somthing else?
Title:
Post by: Ganef on June 20, 2006, 08:52:37 PM: I am not sure exactly what it is from perhaps a MOSKVASPEZNAZ guy can enlighten us both. As far as I know it is a patch of the seal of the soviet union that I got from Larada's army surplus. It reminded me that I have a KGB patch somwehere.

Post by: Fish on June 21, 2006, 09:51:13 PM: Since this is a patches post I'll post it here. I just stumbled opon this website - http://www.russianpatches.com/ (http://www.russianpatches.com/)

Post by: Dammit! on June 21, 2006, 10:42:48 PM: i think sombody likes their Spetsnaz!
Title:
Post by: alamaan000 on June 22, 2006, 12:36:45 PM: Hey hey, Spetsnaz are a kickass group. I know, I'm biased. I have a patch with a hammer and sickle from the 80's I believe, I put it one of my BDU's so I'm the odd man (all german and american and one random soviet when I wear it).

Fish, go to redsoldier.com if you want a good uniform to go with that.
Title:
Post by: Fish on June 22, 2006, 12:51:17 PM: already have full russian gear, just need one more patch... I'll post pic of my gear when everything is delivered.
Title:
Post by: Twitchy Konigkeit on June 22, 2006, 02:03:56 PM: Spetnaz WAS cool... the KSK now that is were it is at! well its not really a patch since they use slides, but does any know for some odd reason were i could get German Flectarn ranks i can't find any in Flectarn and Black, and if i do its like the generals, and col. ranks i want something a bit lower than that. also does anyone know were i could make a patch...? last question also looking for name stripes, for cheap anyone know of a good site i need like 3 of em, i need OD or Flectarn....and a tan one...
