Star "Real Cap" magazines???
« on: March 05, 2006, 04:10:31 PM »
I have been looking into these so called "real cap" magazines and was wondering if anybody out ther has used them?  Especially the 20rd M16 ones that I am considering getting for my next gun: m16vn

Yep. I just found them a second ago. Kinda cool if you are a die hard milsimmer(by die hard I mean...you're willing to have a 20 round magazine that isn't a pistol). I'm sure they function fine, I just don't see why you should get these over marui 80 rounders.

I want to get into the style of more realism, I'm so tired of all the hicaps and midcaps that i normally use, I just want to train myself to use bb's effectively, not just spray till they call themselves out.

I use the 30 rounders, but I'm slowly veering away from them(the function great) just becuase....well....its a BB, not a real bullet.

Yeah, I can understand why, I'll have to keep the midcap 110rd mag that is coming with my gun for those times when you just need more ammo, but 400fps with m16 accuracy should counter some of the affects of less ammo.

I have used them in my first skirmish, no jams, just smooth operation.  I do suggest having many of them.  I use a Vietnam GI bandoleer that holds 7 of 'em and plus 1 in my gun.  That was enough for the day's play.  They are durable being pretty much a solid chunk of plastic but realistic looking even being plastic.  So far I am very pleased with them and it goes to prove that 20 rounds isn't necessarily a bad capacity of a magazine.

Very true, thats why I would highly recomend midcaps, a burst of BBs seems to be just like a bullet in airsoft. Of course, I'm just a trigger happy kinda airsofter.

Fortunatly for me, my new m16 is quite accurate and with about 400fps, the bb's in semi auto and bursting do fine for me, so 20rds is plenty most of the time for those who don't spray and pray.  Of course when they get close full auto is the only option and being able to swap mags quickly is a must, that is why I got a 7 mag bandoleer holder.

Has anyone considered having a game where everyone could use only Star mags?  That would be very cool.

I think it should be tried, they don't cost much at all and for me make the game much more enjoyable.
