Albiscuit Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I have seen lots of hpa rapped mags around and wondered the following: if I were to pick up a tapped mag let’s say for example a hi cappa. And I got a bottle, line, regulator set up. Could I use that tapped mag in my normal hi cappa and be good to go? also would this work for any gbb? or do the guns themselves need extra/special internals? I know Aeg’s for example need whole new insides to be hpa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 No internal changes required, run the reg at about 115psi and that’s green gas equivalent with no cool down. Obviously different mags for different types of guns, but otherwise you’re good to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albiscuit Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 Ooh thank you @rocketdogbert im certainly a lot more interested in HPA now I know this. I have a couple of gbb guns so this is good news. I have seen a deal on a tank/line/reg on discord and tempted to grab it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted June 28, 2020 Supporters Share Posted June 28, 2020 the main problem running tapped mags is the pain in the ass it is to reload them, although i suppose if it's a large enough mag and you're happy topping it off with a speedloader then it's fine. just dont get one of those godawful m4 mag adaptors or we'll have to disown you.

Albiscuit Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 Oh those are horrendous. Why have a totally different mag welded onto the bottom of a perfectly usable one? Just like drum mags in pistols, looks awful and a stupid idea. I get what you mean about the reloads though. Now to work out how to tap my mp7 mags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin proffrink Posted June 28, 2020 Root Admin Share Posted June 28, 2020 MP7 mag taps are simple really - just look up TM mag taps and buy a few. Use a pneumatic thread sealant and replace the normal fill valves with them. Totally non-destructive modification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have 4 leaky Tm mp7 gas mags, so certainly happy to experiment on a couple. I didn’t buy the tank set up as it sold quickly but I think I can see myself with a HPA set up, even if it’s just the one gun for now by the end of the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albiscuit Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 @proffrink based on the same principle would this work with Tm mk23 And hi cappa mags too then? it seems too simple, I thought HPA was some sort of witchcraft and engineering mystery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted June 29, 2020 Supporters Share Posted June 29, 2020 For hpa tapping mags it really is that simple. The engines take a bit of tuning but tbh theyre pretty easy once you know what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An engine is only needed for conveting an AEG though right? 52 minutes ago, rocketdogbert said: Yup, as long as your TM MK23 Mags are already converted for Green gas, you’ll have no issues Not yet but if im taking it apart I dont think it will be that tough..

Steveocee Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Only problem with tapping individual mags is the time to reload, you're not just swapping mag but you have to remove the line, remove the mag, new mag in, reconnect the line. There is an appeal to using something like a Primary or Tapp adapter and sticking M4 mags in because of that to me personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
