      On the valken hi cape it says wind it 35 times and it should clear the mag. Personally tho I get 3/4ths the mag before I have to rewind. But at that point I just switch mags

  • @chris-p6k
    @chris-p6k Рік тому +17

    If you’re constantly winding you’re not using the high cap correctly. You want to wind it 20 30 times, until it gets hard to wind, you will get way more bbs before you have to wind again.

    3:20 not true! if you wind your mag enough you can get around 100 rounds before having to wind again.

    I understand why people prefer mid-caps, but to me, hicaps will always be more convenient and effective. I have 2 good quality hicaps for my specna arms m4, and a drum mag for my gbb m9. No need for more. If you still run out of ammo with that much ammo, ur wasting BBs

  • @AdamTutt-ki4xy

    My recommendation is to get 1 hi cap and maybe 3 to 5 mid caps
    Start your game with your hi cap. When that runs out switch to your mid caps 🎉🎉🎉

    Im new to airsoft and this is the best review for the difference in the mags, And I 100% agree that the mid caps are far better, because yes you have 150 rounds less than a high cap. But you have 150 rounds on tap to just dump compared to 300 rounds but having wind after every 30 shots. Like to me the negatives of the high caps seem completely pointless.,

    I bought a high cap gun for airsoft and always wondered why i had to go through the grueling process of the hi cap, I have a Gen 2 9" M4 SD Carbine Airsoft AEG Rifle lancer tactical, could I just buy a hi cap m4 based mag and would it work on that?

      @getoutofmyheadgetoutofmyheadg Рік тому

      Absolutely, (if you meant getting a mid cap and wondering if it will work) the only difference between them is how many bullets they carry, but in my opinion mid caps are better if you just carry more of them (it depends on what you need), you dont make any sounds (the bbs just fly around the high cap mag and make noise), and you have the adventage of not having to scroll this god damn mechanism 24/7

    I bought asg gun with hi cap can I buy mid cap now and it will work with it? I am asking because I heard that when you put mid cap in a gun that had hi cap at stock it can jam very often while shooting.

    • @surrealreviews

      Can you send me a link to the gun? As long as the magazine fits fine it should feed good. Maybe search up people’s load outs with that gun and see if they are using mid caps.

      No, don’t worry about that. But you need to make sure the mag fits since every once in a while there are fitment issues. Just search up your gun and see what mags people use and what fits.

      Test your high caps first because some can get 100 rounds before having to wind again, if you're only getting around 20 to 30 it's because you're not winding enough, don't stop winding when the bbs reach the top, around 15 seconds of constant winding should do the trick.
