attention WE hi-capa users !

davvowl

hi all

several french aisofters reported the WE hi-capa magazines to be malfunctioning and blowing up when you refill them

the WE hi-capa guns are great, its just the magazines that arent trustworthy
just now i was just preparing my stuff for tomorrow and i put a magazine with a rest of gasin it on my table, and the bottom just blew off and crossed the whole room.

so i strongly recommend WE hi-capa users to drop all WE issued magazines and replace them with marui ones.

whoa. scary stuff.

Thats a little disturbing ... and annoying. It kind of puts you off buying a hi-capa.

Does anyone know if this applies to any other mags or models? The Hi-Capa is very similar to the 1911 and the Browning.

no, it makes me wary of buying a 1911 from WE

davvowl

basically its only the hi-capa mags from WE.
the bottom of those has just a long vertical screw which is not enough to hold the pressure.
the marui hi-capa magazines also have horizontal pins, which is alot safer

according to the pics i found on the internet, the WE 1911 mags are fine (they have horizontal pins)
and the marui ones must be ok because... well they're marui's, you know

And the more of you I convince not to buy them, the more I get to keep for myself !!

hmmm... interesting alright, any chance of WE issuing a recall and replacing them? (doubtful, but you never know )

dunno about all that but I ran through some blockage drills earlier this evening with my WE M1911, i.e. droppping mags, admittedly onto a soft surface with rapid reloads(well, I thought they were quick) and had no probs.. maybe just a Hi capa problem....

davvowl

just a we hicapa magazine problem.

@kdouglas: a recall with replacement ? lol, that actually cracked me up.
