I don't agree with all your post, but it does make a lot of sens for a sertain style of play.

If I speak only for myself, here is how I do it.

Rifle: upgraded M24, 450fps, harris bipod and bushnell 3x10-40mm scope. Rifle is painted cadpat and most of the time, ghillied.

I use a KJW M9 with 3 mags as a backup. When my drag bag is reasy, I'll probably pack my P90tr too for movements and for when shit it the fan too close for safe sniping.

Gear: Cadpat BDU and most of the time, a ghillie suit
I use a old CF webbing that look like crap, but the busted old C7 magpouches hold 2 M24 mags each and the whole thing fit under my ghillie suit. In my webbing, I carry 3 mags (+1 in the rifle), radio, spare ammo, map, food. I also use a camel back for hydratation.

Now is my two style of play.

First, if my ghillie suit is not suitable for the field, or the game we play don't allow for long infiltration and require rapide and consecutives movements, I'll play in just my capdat and webbing and ditch the ghillie. Then, I'll stick with a fireteam and provide long range shots, observation and flank protection....

Second, if the field match my ghillie and the game allow for long infiltration, I'll use my ghillie and go alone or with someone dedicated enough not to shoot everything he see and stay hidded. Than I'll procede the an erea usefull for the mission and set up an observation point. Depending on the mission, I'll go kills commanders, provide trail or zone interdiction or just harras the other team(s).

I find both my style of play to be rewarding in a sens that both are usefull and provide the kind of action I like. Playing with the fireteam give me a lot of target to shoot at and my killboard is crowded at the end of the game. When I play alone, I may get less than 10 kills, but each of them is like a work of art hehe.

My minimum engagement distance is about 100fts and my max is.... well, I got a confirmed kill a about 300-350 fts if not more.
I mainely use .30g or .36g depending on the field. .36g for open field, .30 for wooded field with less wind. I like both weight and they work almost the same, except for the .36g that give a nicer ballistic curve and is easyer to predict the bullet impact.
