AR's actually aren't anodized 99.99% of the time, they're Cerakoted! Even the complex camos, from brands like Daniel Defense, are all Cerakoted.SMR 510RR wrote:I don't disagree my point is simply that anodizing doesn't chip but they have made it look like chiped paint.

IDK about the chipping on the AR though, they are anodized not painted so it won't chip but could get worn off but man that would take some abuse.
Great thing is, the developers of the game are trying to make it as realistic as possible and the setting in the modern time, which, in many of the shooters now don't do, included Arma 3.
vs.
Its obviously different for other weapons like the AKs and SAW because they are steel so they would have some kind of coating like paint or powder coat or parkerizing or something like that.
The spec that government contracts are required to deliver calls for a type III hard anodizing. Some specialty units may use something else but your run of the mill AR15 as used by the US military will be hard anodized.Ezra wrote:AR's actually aren't anodized 99.99% of the time, they're Cerakoted!

On another note, they did an epic job of copying the Trijicon ACOG in game, looks just like my ACOG in real life!
