The local emergency response team wears green and woodland camo, as well as black.
I saw them gathered outside a house that's schedueled to be demolished here in town and I thought there was an airsoft game going on, they looked so ramshackle.
But then I saw the pattywagon so I knew it was training.
When you're looking at smaller SWAT or ERT operations, it's whatever good gear you can get. Because like Lerch says, camo isn't really important in CQB.
Time was the SWAT teams armed themselves with whatever they took from the badguys because it was better than what they had, and I'm guessing some are still forced to run that way if they can't afford to buy matching equipment... Then again I happen to know that Kingston ERT has G36s.
Maybe they blew their entire budget on guns. I dunno.
Also depends on the area they operate. I could see, say a Nevada based SWAT team purchasing desert camo since they may be called into remote desert areas.
I personaly own a black MOLLE vest (Black because it was $30 for an otherwise $100 vest) which I am going to cover with green and maybe brown pouches. I will likely use it for both CQB and woodland ops.
If I really wanted to match my urban camo, I could buy another set of black pouches for it.
But wearing woodland gear and camo in an urban setting won't look stupid at all.
If you really don't think you look uniform at all, then just go anyway, go as an irregular. Most CQB scenareos are SWAT or CT against drug lords or terrorists. I think It would help to have some irregulars at a game, that was always my plan. Also because my leather biker jacket would pad me from BBs.
