Souvenir UMP-45 | Corporal (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Corporal is recognisable by its muted army palette and the white chevrons that break up the olive receiver. In Field-Tested the paint starts to chip along the top rail, the muzzle area and the magazine edges, which suits the military theme rather than spoiling it. The overall colour split still reads clearly in game.

Item type: smg. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Field-Tested

The lower receiver, trigger group and folding stock are painted olive green, while the top of the upper receiver and the front end are a light sand tone. A white chevron stripe runs along the side near the front, a rank insignia sits on the pistol grip, and thin white stencil lines cross the receiver.

Visible chips appear along the top rail, the muzzle end and the front and bottom edges of the magazine. The stock edges begin to scuff, and the thin stencils start to fade in places. In game the wear is noticeable on the upper outline of the gun. The side chevron and the main colour areas still look mostly clean.

Field-Tested quality — float range 0.15–0.38

The whole float range of Souvenir UMP-45 | Corporal is 0.05–0.75; Field-Tested takes the 0.15–0.38 segment (33% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

The skin’s collection is The Phoenix Collection with 13 skins in total.

It drops from Operation Phoenix Weapon Case (on sale since Feb 19, 2014).

Souvenir version

This is the Souvenir version: such copies dropped to tournament viewers in souvenir packages; the team stickers and signatures on them cannot be removed or chosen. Souvenir items never carry StatTrak™. There is also the regular version without tournament stickers.

Stickers and crafts

Olive, khaki, sand and white stickers fit the military palette, and simple insignia-style or stencil designs suit the theme. The flat olive side of the receiver behind the chevrons is the most visible spot for a placement.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since low-float copies of a grade look noticeably cleaner on the top rail and magazine.
• Look at the magazine edges and the top rail first, as these show chipping before anything else.
• Check that the white chevrons and stencils are still readable if the military markings are what you like about the skin.
• Look for applied stickers or a name tag and whether they match your plans for the gun.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players who like a light used look that fits the military theme.
• Buyers who want the full colour scheme with some character.
• Conclusion: a balanced middle grade for regular use.
