Since People Seem to like my new sig

RogueLeader · Aug 24, 2001

A lot of people seem to like my sig so I decided to post the source of the pics. These are great for sigs or backgrounds in Windows or MacOS.

http://usmilitary.about.com/cs/generalphotos/index.htm

If you check the photo link on the contents bar on the left you can get a few more options but I found most other photo sections on the site wern't that good.

A few high res samples (these are from the Urban Warrior photo collection btw). If you have a low resolution you might have a hard time viewing them, most are near 3000x1750.

I would guess that the those orange/red things are part of a laser based taining system in which the weapons are loaded with blanks to provide the visual and aural atmosphere of actual combat while harmless light beams trigger sensors worn on a vest or vehical. If the sesors are hit, the weapon ceases to function and you are effectively 'dead'.

But, its just a guess.

My only problem with your sig is that it's kinda large (yours weighs in at 111k) We'd prefer to see sigs under 40k, so you could shrink it a bit, or bump the JPG compression up one notch.

But aesthetically, it's good

Side note...these two could be real funny...

I imagine a caption on this one like "...these are not the droids we're looking for..." http://usmilitary.about.com/library/milinfo/kosovophotos/blkosovo-28.htm

M4 BFAs are yellow.

Those soldiers have miles gear on, if you look close you can see receivers in the helmet

I hope you don't mind me playing with your sig...but here's something I came up with. Feel free to use it...or not

Euphoric Beaver · Aug 25, 2001

Rogue what lettering is that on your sig?

Iceman · Aug 25, 2001

Is it me, or are the barrel tips on those rifles orange?

The font in my sig is called SteelWolf.

Zund: what compression did you use on that?

RogueLeader · Aug 25, 2001

I cut the size in half, its at about 50k now.

Zundfolge · Aug 25, 2001

I saved it out of Photoshop at "8" on the jpg compression slider

St0rmcaller · Aug 25, 2001

The compensator on the M-4 is the same thing as oin the M-16 right Shakken? The reason I ask this is because our BFA's are red or orange.
