Just wondering if anyone has ever heard of it or has information, supposedly its a giant event.

Seeing as the old thread cannot be bumped because the last time it was used was in 2011, I figured I'd make a version 2 of that thread.

To quote Holmes in the intial thread:

What I was wondering though, is where do you get yours, and how much do they usually cost? I found this website and it looks pretty good. Except that the price seems to be good for actual embroydered name tapes: http://www.militarynametapefactory.com/
If anyone has any experience with them, or knows of a place local to the southern nh, northern mass area, let me know, as I would like to have these by SO5 and at a reasonable price.
Thanks for any help,

Intorduction
Okay so you want to be a rifleman, and as most of you know that's the typical role of an airsoft player. Just because it's the usual player that doesn't mean it's easy. This role takes Months of play time to perfect, much like any other specialty role, i.e. sniper, engineer, support gunner, etc. Now that I have that out of the way I'll get into the main topics.

1. Suggested Rifle (outdoors)
As a rifleman you're team will be relying on you for cover and suppressing fire, so you'll need a gun that can handle fast pace encounters as well as longer ranged engagements. Because of this I would suggest the JG M16A4 RIS Enhanced AE. The specs of this gun make it a perfect gun for outdoor play at an affordable price ($180).
Specifications:Gearbox Type: Type 2
Accuracy: 120 feet
Muzzle Velocity: 400+ fps
Magazine Capacity: 300 rounds
Battery Pack Size: Large battery
Package Includes: Manual, Magazine, Battery, Charger, Cleaning Rod
Features:
Metal M16 R.I.S.
One Piece Outer Barrel
Full Stock For Large Battery
Working Charging Handle
Metal Hi-Cap Magazine
Removable Carrying Handle

2. Suggested Rifle (indoors)
This situation is a lot more intense than outdoor play. There could be enemies around any corner. For close encounters like this you need to be able to clear small rooms, cover your teammates while they're moving across small hallways, and turn corners easily and steadily. For fields like this I would suggest the Echo 1 STAG-15 Commando AEG:

Features:
Authorized Stag Arms Logo
Metal Outer Barrel
Retractable LE Stock
Working Charging Handle
Metal Hi-Cap Magazine
Removable Carry Handle
Specifications:
Gearbox type: Type 2
Magazine capacity: 300 rounds
Lenght: 680mm
Height: 225mm
Muzzle velocity: 350fps
Accuracy: 120 feet
Battery pack size: Small battery

Package includes: Manual, Magazine, battery, charger, Cleaning Rod

3. High Speed Low-Drag Equipment (indoor play)
Now that you have your rifle, you need gear to protect your upper body and face, and to hold your extra mags and speed loaders. I can't really suggest equipment because you can't modify gear as easily as a gun. Get what you think you will be most comfortable with in a CQB environment. Don't get a vest with 6 mag pouches, a radio pouch, admin pouch, grenade pouch, etc., get something that has integrated mag pouches and fits close to your body. For face protection make sure that you have a low profile mask, I would suggest the Save-Phace mask series, they're great masks and are quite affordable. I would also suggest wearing loose fitting jeans and thick running shoes. You may also want to include a sidearm with your loadout. For a sidearm I would suggest the KJW Full Metal M9 Military GBB Pistol. It has a great fps for CQB games and it has a large mag capacity so you don't need to carry around a lot of extra mags.

Specifications:
Manufacturer: KJW
System: Gas Blow Back
Magazine Capacity: 26+1
Muzzle Velocity: ~300 fps
Gas Use: Green Gas
Package Includes: gun, gun magazine, and manual
Features:
Quick Take Down
Metal Slide and Frame
Metal Barrel and Guide Rod
Functional Ambidextrous Safety

4. Gear for a Day of Play (outdoor play)
If you're going to be playing at an outdoor field, they will most likely have longer games than a CQB round. You will need to be prepared for at the most 30 minutes of continuous play. I would suggest a MOLLE vest that can be easily modified for any situation. I would also suggest that you get some extra mag pouches. I would carry at least 5 extra mags into the field with me. For outdoor play I would still suggest loose fitting jeans; however, I would suggest combat boots for outdoor play. They grip onto outdoor terrain better and are more durable. If you want a sidearm, I would suggest a KWA Full Metal M1911 Mark IV PTP Pistol.

Specifications:
Manufacturer: KWA
Muzzle Velocity: 330-350FPS
Magazine Capacity: 14 rounds
Package Includes: gun, magazine, hop up tool, lube, KWA sticker

Features:
Full Metal Construction
Doted Rear Sight
Forward Cocking Serrations
3 Hole Trigger
Triangular Hammer
Railed Frame
Pistol Lanyard Loop
Elongated Magazine Well

A common type of angled foregrip you'll see in the field is the Magpul AFG. A common vertical foregrip is a Grip-Pod (grip with an integrated bi-pod). Now I want your guys' opinion, vertical or angled foregrip?
