M4 box mag

[n1ckh]

Does anyone use a box mag on an M4 ??

 

My son likes the look of it and wants it for his raider

Only place I found here in the UK is out of stock but I sent them an email anyway

 

Just want peoples views on them before I commit to buying him one

You don't normally use them for regular battles as they are a bit overkill

or noobish - the last game of day is when it comes out as it is just a laugh

and a free firing frenzy trying to take n hold positions on last game really

(if peeps objected too much then it would stay in bag but normally is just for laugh)

 

I have a couple of the manual wind ones - still holds about 5k but 1 wind is like a

a M4 mid cap - about 100 or more before winding again it seems

 

ensure your mag catch is good coz it is a full bag of bb's in there (1kg+ depending on bb weight)

mental stuff but like I say normally used on last game coz if everybody ran with this then it would

be a bit daft trying to emerge from cover & advance

 

You may need to check with site and players too as some places do limit this sort of thing

as is a bit ott - fun but ott - but hell ya,....

you lay down some serious covering fire

Drum magazines are unnecessary for airsoft and adds extra weight.

box mags are 5k

drum mags are about half that usually with battery

 

seriously overkill and some sites/players can object

even if used as a supposed support M4 gun

 

as i said is a bit noobish - but used just for last game when usually the

team results are all over and wtf - lets kick some a$$ for a laugh

 

check with site/players and use sparingly coz it is noobish to use all the time

 

BUT - end of day - last game - perfect for getting back at all them non-hit takers

 

think Marshal's should have one in their M4 machine pistol and inform peeps they

will taste HITS big time if they don't take their hits - bet that will ensure more fair play

It's your gun, put what you want on it?

 

I don't look down on people for using one so long as you follow any rules the site has for prolonged fire (e.g. 3 second bursts) - the only "noobs" will be those people who sneer at you for having it.

I've checked with the site I play at and the player Marshall said as long its controlled, its fine

 

But then I thought, why use a box mag when the likes of the LSW uses normal 5.56mm mags, its still tempting to get one but it wouldn't arrive until after the next skirmish day

Its a good idea but i know of a few sites that are not allowing drum mags on m4s to be classed as a support weapon
