TM MP5 Hi-Caps

Feb 24, 2004 1:53am
I bought this MP5 RAS and it came with two 200 rd hi-caps and I can only get about 50 rounds into them. Then I wind them for a a minute and try to shoot and nothing comes out? Can someone give me some hints to what I am doing wrong? Oh and I did lube them.

The lubing is a good one, but on top of that try to use a regular loader on it. Load it from the feed hole, like a regular mag, and just keep working it. You also might want to lube your weapon. Also make sure that it is seated correctly in the mag well.

Thanks, I have been using a regular loader and pushing fairly hard. The stock one that came with the gun loads and fires fine. I don't know I will keep trying and thanks again.

how are you loading the hi-cap if you are using a loading tube...

Thanks, I was just out there loading it and figured it out. I am a noob and have only been missin with M4's and there clips are larger. The only thing I do not like about the hi-cap mags is the spinning and spinning. On my M4 I have the battery operated one and it is soooooo much better. I could not imagine being in a skirmish with the spinning and spinning. :shock:

oh, I misunderstood your post. I thought that you knew how to use them, but they just weren't feeding properly. Sorry.
