Sewdhull Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) What's a typical dmr ammo load? I have some 20s and some normal ones. I've seen some shorter mags between the 2 sizes, 60s. Feels like a good idea tobuseva shorter mag incase I want to lie down. Can't see them in the UK tho only sixmm.com. Any thoughts? Probably relevant they need to be G36 mags Edited February 20 by Sewdhull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I take it these are the 20s you're referring to https://www.davescustomairsoft.co.uk/low-cap-type-magazine-for-the-sl8-type-replicas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Greer Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Typical ammo load? I know nothing about G36 mags, but I like to carry an EPM1 or two full. Chances are I never use that many shots... but sometimes I come close (infinite respawn games + really bad players). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostwalker Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Ummmm don't know about typical but 400 bbs in 2 mags for my g3 with inferno engine. Cant say i have ever actually gone through a full magazine though. But mostly its down to the mag that came with the rif and the only other one i could pick up at the time.

Supporters Rogerborg Posted February 21 Supporters Share Posted February 21 Those 60s look like a decent size, but if you're after price and practicality, then an M4 / STANAG magwell will give you far more choice. I run short M4 mags in my G36 without any feeding issues (after a little bit of filing and sanding of the magwell) Tackle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As @Rogerborghas said, an M4 mag well gives you so many more options for size/style/capacity. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fit and feed, from my experience in: S&T JG Cyma Ares/VFC/Umarex GSG DerDer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerDer Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Would add a +1 to the PTS. Cheaper mags can be a limiting factor if they won't reliably feed heavier than 0.28g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sewdhull Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 Thx, yeah I have many std mags for the g36 platform, it may be a non issue but a long mag might make being prone an issue, but it depends I guess how often I'm likely to have to lay down. Thx for the input this far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impulse Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Long mags will cause issues when lying prone. I've got an MWS set up as a mk12 and I have issues if I lie prone as I can't get the rifle close enough to the ground. Even with the bipod deployed, unless I extend the legs my magazine will stick into the ground. I plan on getting a bunch of stubby mags, but GBBR mags are expensive So yeah, if you can get them I'd go with short mags. They may have less ammo capacity, but with a DMR that largely doesn't really matter and I feel the benefit of being able to go prone easier outweighs the ammo capacity drawback.

I would argue that my aim is higher lying prone than a less 'equipped' airsofter so a drum mag might be worth using on a DMR by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can use a full on banana mag in prone. What's your point? gavinkempsell and Dan Robinson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
