In military circles, there is a variant known as "shooters tape" or "gun tape", typically olive-green, known for its resistance to oils and greases. In the U.S. submarine fleet, it is called "EB Green," as the duct tape used by Electric Boat was green. It is also called "duck tape," "riggers' tape," "hurricane tape," or "100-mph tape"—a name that comes from the use of a specific variety of duct tape that was supposed to hold up to 100 miles per hour (160 km/h; 87 kn) winds. The tape is named so because it was used during the Vietnam War to repair helicopter rotor blades, thus earning the name 100-MPH tape. Duct tape was also used during the Vietnam War to balance helicopter rotor blades.
Alternative uses
Duct tape's widespread popularity and multitude of uses has earned it a strong place in popular culture, and has inspired a vast number of creative and imaginative applications.
