190rd mid cap???

[sp00n]

Been thinking about giving mid caps ago for a while, and looking round about 100 - 120rd seems to be the norm.

Then I spotted a a box set of 5 mags with a 190rd per mag capacity this got me thinking WoW these would be ace, but it also got me wondering if anyone has used these before? And are they any good?

 

[sp00n]

Just wanna add these are M4 mags

Personally i'd stick with 100-120 rds as surely 190s the spring wont be all that great/strong.

The only mids i would use are the genuine Magpul ones or the TM recoil ones! I had G&P mags and they would not feed in anything!

 

[Silent7Sniper7]

Yeah stick with 120rd, the higher capacity you go the more problems your likely to have.


Magpul P & E-Mags, best investment i've made.

 

[sp00n]

I would love the magpul emag's but they are a tad on the expensive side

If the ones you have found are the MAG metal 190rnd mid caps, then they are great. I have had some and never had a single feed issue when using with JG and G&P M4's. Also know a lot of other people that rate them as well.

I plan on using Hi-Caps, 300+ RDS, should I get Mid's? What are the advantages? Sorry Sp00n if you didn't want me to ask but I thought as we were on the topic I meres well ;D

I also use the Mag 190 rounders, Never had a problem, they are pretty heavy mags too.

if you get the G&G CM16 it will come with a 450rd hi cap the reason i am looking at mid caps is, i dislike the bb's rattling, the constant winding, and well to give skirmishing a slight element of realism (ok so 190 isnt exactly realism, but its closer than 450 :lol: )

I need a spare mag though, didn't know if I should get Hi or Mid?

 

[sp00n]

i have 2 450 hi caps .... so far there has only been 1 instance when i needed to change mag (i forgot to reload between games), and even then i forgot to bring the 2nd mag! :wacko: :wacko: . hence why i am looking at mid caps B)

 

[jcheeseright]

I used to use the mag 190s before I got a TM recoil and they're brilliant, no feed issues at all!

How much is the box of 5 and from where, Sp00n? I want the option to use STANAG mags with my G36, in the fullness of time, and these sound promising.

Around the £50 for a box of 5, which I thought was fantastic value for money, that's from airsoft supply drop (currently sold out), but I also found them here >>> http://airsoft.tiger111hk.com/Airsoft-Magazine-Std/Mid-AEG-Magazine/c43_261/p3115/MAG-190rds-M16-AEG-METAL-Mid-CAP-Magazine-(5pcs)-BOX-SET/product_info.html for £35 + shipping etc (dont foget supporters also get a 5%discount)

Might just get a hi-cap and be done :L Thanks!

I have 3 of the 190rnd Mid's, and to be honest they are pretty good, BUT, you must make sure you don't over fill them, the springs have a habit of twisting and jamming if you really cram in the bb's.

They are reassuringly heavy which is nice and the metal exterior is solid. And I did have an issue round Christmas time when they didn't feed right probably because of the above filling issue.

 

[Stormhall]

I have (5) 65-round Dboys mid-cap STANAG mags. They feed properly and are made a made of a good metal. I also have a 300 round SRC hi-cap that came with the gun I use that only as a backup or for heavy suppression. So yeah I have to reload a lot.

 

[jcheeseright]

thanks for the update, what did you have for lunch BTW?

 

[Ian_Gere]

lol

I've only just got around to having mine now - cheese & salad butty with hot choc!!!

 

[sp00n]

just had a thought .... why isn't there some sort of electric speed loader (Edit:- quick Google, and i have seen pics etc from one 7-10 years ago, but no where stocks it)

the standard one is ok (100 bb's) the mag variation isnt bad (450 bb's) but where is the box mag version
