actual capacity of star mags?
« on: October 12, 2006, 04:06:06 PM »
Hey guys, I ordered a couple Star mags that just arrived today and was wondering if they ever really hold the full 30 rounds as advertised? I've tried loading them a few times and only manage to get about 25 in before I feel like I'm going to break something.

On a complete tangential rant, I'm a bit ticked off at AirSplat, the place I ordered these from, because they somehow sent me M4 mags instead of the MP5 mags I ordered and because their customer service so far consists of a lot of form e-mails. Apparently sending me the wrong product is a "technical support" issue, rather than the domain of sales (whom one would think deals with orders) so my e-mail to sales was answered by a form mail saying it had been forwarded to tech support. Further, this issue is evidently too complex for their phone jockeys to deal with, so upon calling I was told that I should send them an e-mail. Brilliant.

From my experience, loading the STAR mags with a Tokyo Marui shotshell loader (30 rounds) has yielded the full 30 rounds.

The quietest move is the most efficient one.
