George,
I find it disturbing that the dude is shooting right handed... while his "dominant eye" is defacto his left.
At the rifle range at Marine Corps boot camp, all lads obviously had both eyes, but some had a dominant eye mismatch. The D.I.'s and the range instructors issued these lads eye patches to put over the "wrong eye" to get them used to shooting with the "correct one..." Our folks got "yearbooks" in the mail right after we graduated and were up at ITR... Probably wondered at all the piratical recruits shown in the range section...("Arr, Jim-boy, arr...)
But even with an eye patch, this dude insists upon shooting with an eye that is not only "wrong", but non-existent... Might work with a flamethrower...

Stavros,
In 50 some odd years I've worn more types of uniforms than Errol Flynn's stunt double, but never had any tiger stripes. I missed my opportunity to be cool... :#)

IMHO, out of all the cammies that incorporate black, stripes does it the best.
Works better than woodland, the striping just hits the eye better and breaks up the human outline more effectively than splotches.
Or maybe I'm just star struck by "the tiger" and temporarily go blind.
