“So, as a sniper, the reality is you generally have that one chance to put that target down before he skirts away.” Sniper instructors teach their students to aim for two triangular-shaped areas on the body – from the chest to neck, and the hip bones to the pelvis.
They made a game that is at once exhilarating and terrifying in almost equal measure — in effect, an anti-war game where the disposability of human...

On top of the pants in the front is Cordura 500, a versatile nylon fabric known for its durability and resistance to abrasions, tears, rot and mildew. It’s sewn into the front all around the edges, double-stitched on the “high-traffic points” and reinforced on the crotch. Silicone that acts as a strong adhesive sealant is then run over top of the stitching to protect the threads, helping with durability. Then it’s painted to takes the shine out of the silicone. I installed zippers on the sides of my pants up to about the thigh so they were “easy on, easy off.” On the cuff of the pants, I installed a strap that goes under my boot like a stirrup so the pants don’t ride up when I’m crawling backward. I removed the side cargo pockets and put them on the back of the thigh so my spotter – not me – can access maps, face paint or equipment – anything one of them might need on a mission. Right below the butt we sew in netting, which is also covered in silicone and then paint. You want to make it nice and strong so you can pull on it all the way around. I run the netting all the way down to the bottom, although that’s not required. Hair ties are then installed throughout to hold natural vegetation from whatever environment you’re in. We run this 70-30 rule – 70% natural vegetation, and 30% jute, which is the burlap artificial vegetation you see hanging off the pants. Some people also install padding on the knee area. The front is also covered in Cordura 500. The stitches are also covered in Shoe Goo and paint. All buttons instead of a zipper or Velcro, again, because of the dirt that can gum those things up. Pockets from the shoulders have been turned upside-down and installed on the forearm so that when you’re laying down you can easily access them from an opening that’s at your wrist, not elbow. Loops are installed on the sleeves so you can hook your thumb in. That way, when you’re crawling, your sleeve doesn’t pull up. Netting is installed all over the Cordura, sewn, siliconed and painted. The netting comes up over the shoulder. Hair ties also are installed for vegetation. I also installed two Velcroed map pouches around the rib cage. The back, like the pants, is also covered in netting, burlap jute and hair ties. But there’s no actual [battle dress uniform] in the back – just the netting. It can be either rubber or cloth netting, but it’s meant to be breathable. They can get hot and heavy. More pockets are installed on the inside. It’s a typical “boonie” hat, as they call it – the wide-brimmed bucket hats that are camo. Netting is sewn at each point on the top side, glued and spray-painted. Jute and hair ties go on the top, too, like the rest. They want the netting and jute to be long, but not past the middle of the back. If it’s too long, it can catch on stuff when you’re walking and/or crawling. You want it long, though, so it can be lain across your rifle and block the shadow on your face.

There is good news for Muslim women who want to pray with their nails painted. Orly’s halal nail polish line, Halal Paint, promises to cater to the needs of Muslim women all over the world. The American company collaborated with lifestyle and beauty website MuslimGirl to create the product line. According to a Huffington Post report, the nail polish line is a collection of six different water-permeable nail colors with names such as “Ig-Noor the Haters,” “#MuslimGirlFire,” and “The Perfect Amani-cure,” named after the MuslimGirl founder Amani Al-Khatahtbeh. Muslims generally avoid painting their nails because it creates a barrier between their skin and the water during Wudu (water ablution), meaning that the water will not reach every part of their body, as it is required before prayers. The new beauty line allows oxygen and water to penetrate through the polish coats, reaching the nail itself. It is also 13-free, meaning that it lacks 13 ingredients such as parabens, gluten, and animal derived ingredients. The nail polish does not require the application of any base or top coat. MuslimGirl’s chief of staff, Azmia Magane said on Halal Paint’s website that the polish line is important “because there are so many girls and young women who aren’t represented in mainstream beauty.” “They either don’t fit that definition or see things about them that are designed without them, instead of for them and by them. This is our way of bridging the gap,” she is quoted to have said. The Halal Paint nail polishes are available for pre-order on the brand’s official website for $49. They only ship to the United States.
