g36c mid cap mags

daz801

anyone know if you can get a box of mags like these http://www.eirsoft.ie/store/product_info.php?cPath=26&products_id=181&osCsid=7496afe95aa1662e6a8e92815dde2e99 for a g36c for around the same price

thats a box of ten for about 50 quid plus postage
good value and vanaras arent a bad company either. 10 mags are going to be hard to store for a 36 though.

well il get 6 into the saav one in ecg mag poucg and then im sure i can fit some in some of the utility pouches

Dude, I'm not going to lie to you, Stock G36 mags suck ass. They are big annoying and it near impossible to get proper mag pouches.

Get an adapter so it can take M16 mags, pouches and mags are cheap and plentiful, and in a scrim you are much more likely to be able to loan or borrow mags.

I have a CA adapter for my Jg G36C, works a treat, but you need 2 hands to drop out a mag, will see if I can fix that though.

I thoroughly recommend Star 140 round G36C mid-caps; I think I got mine from ehobbyasia (packs of 5; probably 40 to 50 euro inc postage). I found them to be excellent, very reliable and good build quality. I think swapping out your magwell for a STANAG adaptor would be a serious mistake, but that's just my opinion.

TheDoc

defies the point of buying a g36c...

have to say i ordered 5 king arms midcaps from ehobby, if i hadda seen these i woulda bought them instead

You're probably the only person I've ever heard say G36 mags aren't good. They're widely regarded as one of the best designs due to the inbuilt mag clamp and the fact that you couldn't break them if you dropkicked them the length of the field.
As for the pouches:

You could leave some of them at home-Daz801.

Pouches are available but yes, they are big and annoying (you'll carry 3 STANAG type mags in the same space as two G36 mags - that's 50% more ammo in the same space)

Yeah but it looks woeful!!!

To hands needed anyways even with the stock magwell but when your mags clip together this isn't a bad thing.


The G36 mags are big and awkward but they do have a charm about them - and the low-caps are probably the best looking magasine out there!!


...as for not breaking them dex, while I've never had one stop working, I have snapped a few clamps.

I hate to disagree, but check 'em out with Canadian Thermold style mags (the ones the Canadian infantry use in their C7 and C8 rifles). They are the absolute business and look right at home in a G36

... standard stanags do look a little ... um ... limp (?) in the '36 though.

Genghiz Cohen

If you don't mind dropping you mag onto your knee or foot or ground then you can use your trigger finger to release the catch while you reach for a new mag.


And I like how stanags look... (With Mag-Pulls)

I think the point he was making is that they don't just drop out, I know that's what I meant anyways...

I had TM 50 rounders that would drop out, rock solid otherwise.

I literally *just* realised that it was you who posted the first bit about needing 2 hands to drop out the mag - I assumed you meant that the mag wouldn't just fall out when you hit the realease.

Incidentally, mine don't, have to actually release with one hand and remove with the other.

Those 50rnd mags STANAG or '36 style?

MacAonghusa

I also got the box of 5 Star 140 round mid-caps; they're the biz.
I got a Warrior chest rig (operational quality) that can carry 2 mags in each of the 3 pouches or as I normally do 1 in each pouch and 2 on the gun.

50 G36'ers, moved up to stanag, which also drop out but you need two hands to hold the gun and push the button anyway.

Am I understanding right that you're using two hands to actually change mags?
The trigger hand should always remain on the piston grip and the mag changed with the support hand; that's the way it's supposed to be done anyway.

Mags shouldn't be free to drop out either unless you're using movie mags i.e. disposable because you have an infinite supply.

extremetaz

one hand to push the release button, one hand to remove the mag(s) as they don't just drop out.

it's not a huge deal that they don't drop out on the '36 because you've usually just to switch to the second mag on the side of the first.

as for mags not being supposed to just drop out - not so sure about that, having to manually remove the mag significantly slows down reload times and you can always pick up your empties off the floor.

I may have misunderstood; you mean with the CA adapter?
On the G36, Aug or any well designed gun 1 hand should do the job.

I agree it can slow it down somewhat (just a few seconds) but disagree that you can just pick it up.
In real life (ok, I know it's only airsoft but still) dropping mags would be considered bad practice as 1. you have a limited number, 2. dropping them can damage/lose them 3. if you need to change position last thing you want to do is go rooting around for your dropped mags. IMO.

in addition if your support hand is going for the release button anyway you may as well just take off the mag with the same hand as it's also bad practice to remove your other hand from the pistol grip.

does kinda depend on the unit/operation there on at any point in time, most in the real world run around with a dump pouch for a reason

I would hazard a guess that most units are taught the right way to do it but obviously there is a certain amount of flexibility there. Even the SAS often only carry 5 mags (as do the Irish Army), last thing you want to do is lose one or two in a bush etc.

Dump pouches are there for that reason, so you don't drop your mags in the ****.

Puding

we both said the same thing

some German units do some funky things with 2 g36 mags together ducktap and Para cord attached to the vest, will post some pics i have when i get home

I don't use an adaptor - I have a the standard magwell in a TM G36C.

The forefinger on one hand is required to push the release button - the second hand removes the old mag and inserts the new.

The operation would be quicker if the old mags would simply drop out when the release was pushed.

Naturally, i wouldn't just drop the old mag if there was mud, water, concrete, etc below me - but it's nice to have the choice.

As for what the boys in the real world do:
- I play with hicaps to save space and weight on my rig (except for one lowcap for the pics),
- I play in russian kymesh with a G36 and a molle vest,
- my sidearm is an S&W Sigma40F with a silencer and extended mags.

what does that tell you?...

your having an identity crisis?

Masada

The original SA80 had awful problems with the magazines just falling out because of the position of the mag release. why would they desing a magazine to "need" to be pulled out? even youtube will tell you that mags fall out when the release is pressed,.,

Puding

even youtube will tell you that mags fall out when the release is pressed,.,

all depends on the tyle of firearm/aeg your talking about

Masada

"most"
their noy supposed to resist.,.,

Puding

there not meant to resist of course, but a lot of mags I’ve come across have friction when there is the mag well so will not fall out just with gravity, normal a 'flick' (not the best word it describe it) of the device will mean the mag falls free, can do with well with the g36

extremetaz

lol - quite the opposite... i just use and do what works for me. No interest in what "the real guys" use/do/carry.

i broke mine by dropping it half a metre, it was a g36c high cap:mad: buts its fixed now:D

Captain Chaos

Just about the two hands thing for changing G36 mags, you can easially do it with one. Using my supporting hand, I wrap 4 fingers around the mag and press the release tab with my thumb and pull down, same as with I do with AUG mags. I never even considered using my trigger finger to press the release.

But I see SRC have the new release tabs on the 36 that are designed for either methods.

NakedDex

That's a high-cap though, the clockwork in any high cap is fairly delicate. Dropping them is never advisable. Midcaps are different though, you could kick field goals with a box of them and they'd be perfect at the other end.

extremetaz

yeah but that means having your hand empty while you're taking out the old mags - this way means I can have my new mags in my hand before I take out the old resulting in a quicker switchover and less time with an empty chamber.
