If you've seen me at Futureball, what I wear in my DP is what I wear there. RAP4 Hawkeye paintball mask, OD USMG molle vest, Digi Woodland BDUs and combat shirt, and for the first few times I got a rental AK, but I also used my G&G M4 there(it has a rear MBUS and an AFG on it, standard M4 front post). I'm friends with a ref there, Frank.
Oh, I also used a long orange funnel to load my high caps, and had my BBs in a water bottle, if that means anything. I usually keep to myself there since I always go there alone and don't know anybody except Frank.

Try what I did and incorporate your real name into it somehow. I just changed my name to Greekas because my last name is Gikas and I'm of Greek descent. That, and TehG3A3 is a terrible name I thought of long ago and people have trouble pronouncing it without looking at it closely.

Megladon? By the way, I noticed that you stated that you play(ed) at Futureball. Something tells me that I know you. Everyone on my team got their name because of something they like or the way they acted. My family has honeybee hives, so people started calling me "Stinger." I also have a bit of a hit-and-run playstyle with fast and hard action. The first airsoft gun I ever fired was also a Crosman Stinger pistol. "Killer" occasionally acts slightly psycotic and has a tendency to do some crazy things on the battlefield, in addition to being a substantially deadly force. On the other hand, it can be something as my brother's name, "Shadow." A long time ago, he liked the game "Shadow the Hedgehog." So...why not, ya know? Haha Like everyone else said, just wait for someone to give you a name. Megladon? Why would someone name themselves after a prehistoric fish? Ha ha.

The sane reason you named yourself Phantom Reaper. You wanted to.

The OP said he liked some "Megadeth" thing (I apologize, but I have no idea what that is), and all I saw when I looked at that word was "Megladon." So, why not? That's a cool name. A Megladon was a really big freaking shark. And it's very loosely related to Battlefield (haha ). To the OP: I am also friends with Frank. He's on my airsoft team.

Megadeth Is a Thrash Metal band from the 80's, Also, the term Megadeth is a term used by the US Military to describe 1 million deaths caused by the detonation of an atomic weapon. Example. The Nuclear strike by Russia on Kiev caused 2.5 Megadeths.

For the love of everything that is sacred;
MEGALODON****
And yes, Megadeth is part of the big 4 of Thrash metal, only commercially succeeded by Metallica.
Fun fact for some of you; Dave Mustaine, lead guitarist, singer, frontman and founder of Megadeth, was Metallica's first guitarist and wrote some of the songs that made Metallica famous, such as 'The Four Horsemen'(The lyrics and title where changed, but the music itself was all written by Mustaine, except a bridge solo that was added by Kirk Hammett. Megadeth later released the original version, titled 'The Mechanix'). He was kicked out of the band due to alcoholism before their first album was released, and Metallica chose to use his material without his permission and against his will.
Sorry, I know too much about Metallica and Megadeth for my own good.
Oh, and the term relating to death by nuclear means is spelled 'megadeath'.

So you like Megladon, eh? Go with that. When someone asks you your name at an airsoft field, say that name first and then tell them your real name. They will remember what you say first better. Most people know my callsign rather than my real name because my callsign is all that's ever put on our YouTube channel. It's also the only thing anyone on my team calls me. So all you need are to get some people to know you as Megladon.

I don't know, with a name like Megalodon, be prepared to be called Megatron. All it's going to take is a few people not hearing you very well when you say your callsign on the radio and bam, Megatron.

There's too many syllables. Maybe I'm just biased, but I would say two syllables, maybe 3 max?
Knief Tank X Bones Timm
My ers Rel arz Pa gan Crap shoot Cole train
Gun sling er M. S. Arc (I would just call him Arc)
Ex e cu tion er ( my old call sign) Me ga la don
I'm sure I fucked a couple of those up but you get the idea. If someone's name is longer than 3 syllables I won't remember it.
