In the past 2 years that I researched and developed this product, I personally used it in typical Airsoft field gameplay. I found it to be very effective, greatly reducing being overshot and/or mistaken kill/no-kill status while walking back to respawn.
I designed it for maximum high-visibility. It's rapid deployment and waving it around after being shot (much like a referee's penalty flag on a football field) actively shows that you are "hit." Because of the length of the "Hookfast Pullcord," it can be also deployed from behind cover, further reducing being "overshot." The red, lightweight rip-stop nylon is highly fade resistant and is extremely bright, highly contrasting the green and brown environments found around typical playfields. The flag is also "flutters" easily in a slight breeze or when moving. The idea is that the human eye / mind easily picks out movement and contrast in any given environment.
Though the "RagPull" primarily comes in red, I am looking at testing Blaze Orange and High-Visibility Yellow colorways as well.
