Magazine reliability?

[AvidAirsofter776]

Is there really a point in worrying about cheap mags or can we just go out and get the cheapest m4 style mags we can find? I know some can have feeding issues but I'd like to see what you're experiences are with mags.

ASG 140 M4 Mid caps £5.5 each, work flawlessly, light weight plastic, durable, I've dropped them 150cm to concrete over and over. So far the only problem i've had with them is they're too good to replace with something more 'blingy'.

Wow! I've had trouble even finding a mag that cheap. Thanks, I'll definitely look into them!

Worth having 10, if you lose some, you won't mind. I numbered mine next to the feed lips, never mixed them with anothers' nor lost any.

Nice, I'll probably just start with 4 but eventually I might get 10, or more! Who knows?

10 was the only option when I bought them. I would recommend getting the number which fits your pouches best + 1 for the gun/pregame dump pouch. My platecarrier has space for 7 before adding pouches.

if you're going for hi-caps I'd suggest flash mags - if not, the midcaps Scarathe recommended will be spot on.

You can pay ridiculous money for "anything-proof" PMags which I've seen survive being crushed under a jeep and they still work flawlessly, but the truth is you'll probably lose a mag before you break it, cheap or otherwise.

Well, I'll probably be going for these as I prefer midcaps, and they're cheap while also being reliable. Another reason I'd like to go for midcaps is because my team is called MidcapMonsters! XD.

Better than the FlashMag Flashers.

Haha, yeah it is! Though that would still be better than the RealCap Snap-Backs!

For the money, my understanding is that these are the best there are. They're not metal FYI!
