    Just saw these on Ehobbyasia. How exactly do you load them, and are they worth the money as they seem to good to be true at that price.

    You load them the same way as low-caps...using a bb loader or one by one if you're a masochist :)

    I dont have m4 midcaps, but I have 8 midcaps for my MP5 and they work like a charm. I havent taken any apart, but I presume the only difference between them and lowcaps is the way the BB's are stacked internally.

    I always use midcaps, they take a little longer to load but there's no winding and no rattle. Plus you can't beat the fun of reloading in combat. :)

    I have those for my sr16. The work a treat and never jam. They can be dropped on the ground and they dont break. Would highly reccomed them.

    Thanks guys, king arms are a pretty good manufacturer arent they?
    Dont think id mind loading them, the mag i got with my m4 is pretty much crap seen as it doesnt fit properely and its unwound itself a few times after its been slotted in. That and winding it is a pain in the arse.
    RSOV have these but ive no idea if they'l fit any better than the one i have now.

    I'm still trying to decide between mids and highs for my new rifle. I'd like to try out mids but...well...it's expensive if I dont like them!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,518 ✭✭✭[--SC(+)PE--]


    true, im after buying 5 tm lowcaps for my Aug and god are they expensive even when second hand :( , just cant stand high caps though :p

    5 low caps? ouch! And I thought buying mids was expensive. Sure you'd buy another gun with the money you'd have to spend on TM lows.

    I wish CA made G36 mid caps. I'm sick of that rattling noise.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,595 ✭✭✭✭o1s1n

    I suppose it all depends what the mid capacity is. The Famas is only 60 rounds. You piss through it in seconds. The high only being 300. So I went with a couple of extra highs.

    The FAL on the other hand has 90 for mids and 550 for high :eek: All I can afford at the moment is a high so...I'll mid it up a bit down the line.

    I agree, the rattling and winding is becoming a pain in the arse. Would be great to be able to get rid of it completely.

    well ive been keeping an eye on ebay for a long while now waiting to pounce so i ended up paying 45e for 4 of em and i got one new from ehobby aswell so yea about 60-65e for em ,i realy hope 5 will be enough :p

    cant guarantee these would work in a CA but id be very surprised if they didnt.

    One of my teammates, Wolf, is using 6 of those midcaps in a JG G36c. I can't say if they'll work in a CA G36 either but I'd put good money on it that they will. The rear catch of the mag is slightly larger then a G36 high-cap so you need to give the mag a slap to lock it in but that's no problem. They feed every last BB out of the mag which means they have a good strong spring. The ABS plastic build is nice and thick, very strong construction.

    I hate them for the same reason. The choice between hi-caps and mid-caps is even easier for me though. MP5 mid-caps are 90 rounds, hi-caps 200. Tape or clamp two mid-cap mags together and I've pretty much got a hi-cap with no winding/rattling that just has to be turned over when its half empty :).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,984 ✭✭✭NakedDex


    That's my problem, there's always been an issue where most third party accessories will work with a CA but not all will. And I couldn't be bothered sending an item back to Hong Kong after I bought it. As it is I've only got one Hi-cap and a c-mag. My original intention was to use my G36k as a "ke" variant, a light support gun. Hence the box mag. I've since decided to use it as a standard k and get a conversion kit to an MG36 for when I want the bigger option but I hate that rattle noise hi-caps make.
    It's forgiveable in box mags because of the sheer amount of rounds but not in a standard looking mag


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,542 ✭✭✭kinkstr


    Has anyone here that has a Dboys m4a1 gotten spare mags for it, the quick wind hi-caps i on RSOV apparently dont fit, and im not sure which ones i shold be going for. I dont really mean cant decide between high/mid cap. I mean i just want a mag i know will fit properely so if youve gotten spares please post up your opinions.
    Thanks,

    kink

    I'm gonna be looking for Mid Caps for the FAL, M4 and AUG.
    Will want about 5 of each. My G36 I dont know if I will invest in more mags
    as I got two hicaps already.

    I love the way on the FAL there is no rattle. I'm not a full auto person
    and would most likely favour quick selective fire rather that bursts.

    Plus the Hi-caps for the FAMAS lose tension SO fast, you barely a get a burst or two before you are winding again. Thats the price you pay with a high ROF though.

    I'm buying some midcaps for it though. I figure 5 will be enough.

    Bought these for my Dboys M4 CQB/R they work fine although would recommend a speed loader but not the d-boys m16 mag shape one as I am having trouble with it.

    Just received mine yesterday, exact same as.

    You load them as explained earlier in the thread (although I don't have a speed loader yet, so I have no choice but to be a masochist :( - anyone got a spare speedloader FS?)

    Yes, they are very much worth it, fully compatible with the DBoys M4A1 - and actually look a lot better than the DBoys metal hicaps!

    Cheers guys, got a 100 bb speed loader with my glock, but one of these would be even better.:)
    As long as they seat better than the sh1te mag i got with it ill be happy.
