why?

[Unit 318]

I really like the trap door instead of the slider but as Pepsi said; Why?

[fiddlesticks4220]

I hope ur not asking me.....

[Unit 318]

It's more of a general question directed at KA. I doubt anyone who likes Magpul will be that inclined to buy PMAG highcaps...

~ looks up from his order, new pmag on the way~ What?




In all seriousness, There are going to be players who want a light loadout, with plenty of firepower for the looks, and like me, have a heavy trigger finger.

Interesting. Though, I'd be more interested in buying translucent PMAG Midcaps. Magpul did a limited quantity of those but there were concerns about being strong enough to endure everything the regular PMAGs can take. Obviously, for airsoft that'd be a non-issue, and after testing come translucent L5 mags by King Arms, translucent PMAG MidCaps would be pure win in my book!

7 mid-caps and a hi-cap maybe? mid-caps for standard use and a hi-cap for when things go to *suitcase*

[Basho]

HiCap! Kill it with fire!

[Raven1]

HiCap! Kill it with fire!

I agree, Kill That Thing!

[Zackansfien]

It looks good...ill give it that, And enough BBs for when the *suitcase* hits the fan =D I mean they look fairly solid...comparing to some other High caps ive seen...

One of our team had a PMAG jam at GZ

GHASP!

Guess the marketing was just that!

Oh look, it's the elitist fag club meeting again.

I think these are awesome, and if I hadn't moved over to GBB, I'd be picking a few of these up.

Ben.

I don't see PMAG hi-caps as a bad thing. If I still used hi-caps, I'd buy these for sure. Just that my team, myself and all OPs we attend only allow midcaps for riflemen. But there's definitely a place for hi-caps in the market.

Interesting. I've personally got over 30 PMAGs Midcaps, there are probably another 50 used through out the rest of my team, and I know of many other people using them too. Maybe the one you encountered that had a jam on your team was a lemon, maybe there was dirt in the mag, or maybe the ammo was cheap, but that's the first I've ever heard of something happening like that with a PMAG Midcap. Out of the 80+ PMAG midcaps used within our team we've never encountered any problems. We see them as the absolute best midcaps available on the market ... and we've bought a lot of cr@p over the years trying to find something of these quality.

Even the best products fail sometime.

Exactly. But it sounded like Basho was implying that PMAGs are all over hyped and purely successful thanks to marketing. I simply think that, once in a blue moon a lemon will slip through pretty much any production run for any product ... or they could simply fail for some other reason. But the Midcap PMAGs have an outstandingly decent success rate compared to many other airsoft products on the market today. Unless of course Basho was being sarcastic, to which he has my apologies.

[Basho]

What I meant is that I have a team on p mags. One went wrong. While they are excellent and I use nothing else, they are not quite as blessed by angels that some of my friends think.

[uscmCorps]

Yeah ... sadly nothing is exempt from that. Heck, even my high end car has problems from time to time.

That's the way I usually go, probably less than 7 mid-caps for myself but I still like to know I've got that one last fall back measure.

I'm not generally a hi-cap fan and I hardly ever use them really, but end of the day that are many many people that do and a good portion of them probably like PMAGs, it's just a logical step really. End of the day more choice is never a bad thing.

[K12azy13astard]

What wouldn't have issues from time to time, no matter the price paid.

As for the mags, I'm personally all for them. There will always be the situation, that you just need to light that no-hit calling *bramston pickle* up, and you just don't want to bother having to reload all 10 of your magazines, only to do it more to the same *bramston pickle*. Get the hicap, and stay tacticool all the same.



On a side note, Those 30 rounders do fail, had one fail on me a few weeks back, and has grabbed my attention, in my attempt to bastardize the hell out of it. Gut the internal structure completely, and slam a hicap internal!
