StayOnTarget Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hello All Is there an answer to loosing your last bbs when you change mags the best I've found is the Nuprol metal stanag M4 with a lose of 2 bbs the mag is nice and tight which i prefer as looser ones tend to feed poorly and drop more bbs,its quite depressing watching them hit the ground when I'd rather be putting them to better use shooting someone, just hoping for some imput from you lovely people. Thank you for your time StayOnTarget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skintrade Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 No real answer apart from guns and mags that fire until totally empty... But what's the difference between dropping a couple per mag or having a couple of no hit shots? The reason you lose a couple in most aegs is the feed 'pipe' part of the hop assembly, there's no pressure keeping them in there apart from the following rounds.

Winking aside, I do this when target shooting in the garage. You are indeed not losing them from the mag, but from the hop unit feed tube. With an M4 magwell adaptor extending a G36 feed, I can easily drop half a dozen BBs per change otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Lozart Posted November 12, 2018 Supporters Share Posted November 12, 2018 You could fit a MAXX hop unit. That has a little spring loaded lever that holds the BBS in the feed tube during mag changes. When you go back to the safe zone you just poke a finger up into the magwell and release the lever to empty the hop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilMonkee Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I always lose 3-4 from each AK mag. Its deffo from the hop chamber. TBH its not a bad thing cos it should mean you only have 1 in the pipe so if you were a numpty and let one off in the safe zone the damage is going to be minimal rather than a full burst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wo1f Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Buy a gas gun and join the cool table 😎 the MAXX hop is a good option for standard AEG’s. Besides that, there’s not a lot you can do without buying a recoil/ERG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StayOnTarget Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Thank you all for the quick response I've seen a G&G mag that apparently feeds every BB so I'll look into that and post any results I'm not keen at all though the new TM MTR 16 is sexy as hell.I've got a CYMA 068c on the way as a project gun then next year its a P&J M249 para as a support role appeals to me Thanks again for your time and imput StayOnTarget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Druid799 Posted November 12, 2018 Supporters Share Posted November 12, 2018 Classic army metal mid caps are the best for me , fit and work in all my STANAG gatts and they feed every round well worth the money . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head Moderator Jedi_Master Posted November 12, 2018 Head Moderator Share Posted November 12, 2018 Christ, 2 BBs per mag, that is going to start adding up the expense of playing the game. If you use 15 mags per skirmish day that means losing minimum of 30 BBs. At that rate after only 100 mag changes you will have used up a whole bottle BBs (using 0.25g Blasters is approximately £7). I am now going to look on eBay to see if there are any bags specifically designed to catch BBs, the initial outlay to buy this BB collection bag should soon pay for itself in no time. This begs the question of a conspiracy between the magazine designers and the BB manufacturers. Maybe it is time to check the deep web and see what the hell is going on...

Wo1f Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Let’s not forget the length of that extended follower is taking up the space of the BB’s you would have lost. So it won’t loose any bb’s but you can’t fit those extra 3 BB’s in, in the first place 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick G Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Yup, sorry Bear , you would be toast ! Ray would win every time. Bear would spend half the show rushing around like his hair was on fire and living under a rock, Ray would knock up a full luxury camp with bunk and table then casually trap Bear and truss him up like a turkey !

It's got a long (and delicate) extended follower. WANT. Yes, I will pay pounds in order to save pennies. It's a Scotch thing, don't get all judgy-racialist on me. Aside, I went to a talk by Ray Mears a few years back, and was genuinely impressed. He answered audience questions with good humour, but very directly, and without a hint of populist faffing. Some ecomentalist tree hugger types got quite miffed when he told them straight that, no, we can't all go back to hunter-gathering off the land like a bunch of wookie druids, or else the vast majority of us in the UK would starve. But he was just so damn charismatic and charming that they ended up gushing and agreeing. If you've seen the Black Books episode The Travel Writer, and particularly the way folk react, it's pretty clear who they based it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
