MAC V SOG - EVENT FEEDBACK & QUESTIONS

McBee

GZW.NET | FOUNDER
GZW | .NET STAFF
It’s nice to see that all of you are just as excited about our upcoming event as we are. We’re getting a ton of feedback, and that’s a good thing because it shows people are interested.
I wanted to open an official area where we can gather some of the requests and feedback in one spot to help clear up confusion and explain why we’re running this particular event the way we are.

We want your feedback because it’s important to us, and we’ll do our best to accommodate the community as much as possible. With that said, please understand that not every request may make it into this particular event.

This cross faction event is something we plan to do monthly, alongside the smaller weekend events currently taking place within the Lamang faction. We’re also working on ways to bring more mini events to Crimson and Mithras, but that will take some time as we continue setting things up and hopefully secure another server.

In the meantime, we’ll continue focusing on these monthly cross faction events.

With that said, please share your feedback for the upcoming May 30th event.

Players attending the event will receive a private server key on the day of the operation.

Event Request From Reddit & Facebook

Headscarf/woodland bandana should be allowed, along with the black beret. Plenty of pics showing the SOG guys with these kinds of head gear on! Oh and lennon glasses and the aviators should be allowed too
M1A with iron sights and 10 round mags should be allowed too.
Also the M700 is a modern variant of the M40 and was also used in Vietnam. This should be the only scoped option and it should be the 4x fixed power. Limiting to the M16 only cuts a bit of realism.
Man, I wish we had M60's.
Car15’s with a fixed m16 stock would look kinda janky since they had collapsible ones lol
Can haz shotgun too? Wooden finish, no long barrel. R870 only
Just want a little clarification on the M16A1. Does it have to be the 20 inch version or is something set up like a CAR15 or XM177 acceptable as long as it remains vanilla?
Everyone make sure to carry a pack of cigs in inventory as well. Remember that lung cancer was in fashion.
Why so late? 3am in the UK
Very badass. I hope this flourishes and theres more events. I got CPTSD from my time in iraq and im going through a rough patch. Maybe next event I'll have my shit together and put in work.
What about Tiger camo, jeans, bandana/boonie , and a short barreled CAR-15 build?
M14 with scope for snipers?

Overwhelming majority of the GZW|.NET & Convergent members are U.S. based. Even if the event is pushed earlier it would still be late for EU players. 2200 EST has been polled previously to be the best timeframe for events for max participation.

Limiting headgear options for uniformity.
Glasses are not a part of the kit for this event, sorry.

M16A1 in its vanilla form as purchased straight from Gunny; with the 20rnd Magpul magazine being swapped out for a 20rnd STANAG magazine.

An XM177 is allowed, built as follows:
- M16A1 Upper & Lower Receiver
- M16A1 Stock & Buffer Tube
- M16A1 Gas Block
- M4 Carbine Handguard
- 10.5" Barrel
- XM177E2 Flash Hider
- 20 Rnd STANAG
- NO OPTIC

M16A1 fixed stocks were recorded as being used on the XM177's. Some users preferred a fixed rifle length stock vs the original aluminum 2-position CAR15 stock. GZW doesn't have a CAR15 stock unfortunately, even though we could use an M4 stock, we've opted for the period correct alternative.
