Yeah those have been out for a while now... the mag is made of full plastic and its only 30 rounds...that'll be about two "quick" bursts on my m4.

I'm seriously thinking about getting them, the price alone lends to wanting to buy them. If you happen to lose one, then it's not a big deal as compared with a normal M16 magazine. I also like the fact that they are 30 rounders, which allows for a more accurate milsim. I think that anyone wanting to go and do the Recondo school with Mike Force airsoft might want to seriously think about buying this package. Mike Force requires you to have 9 low cap magazines in order to graduate from their Recondo school, and this is an inexpensive option for that, especially seeing that they only allow you to load 30 rounds into your low caps for the school anyway.

HMMM plastic interesting...i wonder how reliable??? but geez 10 mags for only 40 bucks thats awesome maybe ill try some out too.

i was about to post this.....i thot they were all metal? oh well.....the plastic might be kinda pointless for me.....also, the more mags, the more pouches u need.

The way I look at it, with them being plastic I would only use them when I'm wanting to be accurate in terms of combat load. With that I would only carry the 30 rounders. Also, for 40 bucks if they are a waste of money its not that big of a deal, I know that I've wasted a hell of a lot more than 40 bucks on airsoft things that were worthless.

lol it doesnt matter to me i just like the fact that they are the most realstic mags i've seen yet (ammo wise)

LoL seen these things awhile ago...not the greatest of mags, 30 rounds is cool for realism..then again....if you want realism then just load 30 rounds into a normal standard mag..why? cause those plastic mags ...seem like they wont hold alot of stress...then again i dunno, i may order some jsut to order LoL...

I've thought about ordering these before, but I don't see any extra realism added to the game from them. 6mm Excel bbs do not blow through walls, they do not kill someone in one shot, and they don't have an effective range that can be read in yardage. I've found that most people I shoot take 1-3 shots in airsoft before they notice they are hit. Plus you lose 2-4 bbs when loading the mag.

i like the idea, now only if they made AK ones......

I agree with you pbb, that is why if I get them, it would only be so that I didn't have to buy 8 more low cap mags when I go to Mike Force Recondo School. The only reason to have them would be if you are in a game where everyone is playing with a REAL combat load, and not a butt load of high caps.
May 7, 2004 3:26am
definatly agree with that one! dont wanna get stuck with 30 rnds to 1000 rnd drum mag, talk about *beep*!!!
May 7, 2004 3:45am

hmm..i used to run around with hicaps..like 6 of them! yea...no need for that too easy just to hold full auto on...standard mags takes much more skill and patience...just ask any real airsofter, any real airsofter, lol..anyways.

Ive been using all standards for a while and just using 30 rounds just sounds bad.

a lot of people put these down becasue they are plastic. last i checked my mags had plastic connections, plastic internals, and only a metal shell that is very non functional and easily can dent where the plastic mags won't. also the hi tech isreali mags are plastic, the xm8 mags are plastic. and someone needs to get a plastic life.

I like using realistic mag cap guns like the Kar and Daves Magnum. you end up geting alot more one shot kills because you have to plan your shots out....cant hold down the trigger to make up for shitty playing skills
