Muslims continue to use camouflage to great effect.

The thing that gave him away was that he was holding a tomato in each hand, and they realized that tomatoes grow in bogs, not trees.

Good thing he was holding his right arm up like that. Much more effective. I can barely make him out.

One of my favorite old rifles is a 1943 K.Kale Turkish 8mm Mauser.
I paid a whopping $65

Looks a lot like my M1909 Argentine Mauser.Deadly accurate rifle.
