Do you prefer highcaps or low caps.
was wondering what does everyone around play with when it comes to mags. Do you:
Do you choose realism, over sprey and prey or what? Well close as you can parallel the real thing. |
well right now all i have a is 1 hi-cap (500 rounds) and 1 low cap (70 rounds) now that i have been playing for about a year i notice why people like low caps.
i do prefer using by low-cap even if i have one buy once i get some money and an LBV i'll be more low-caps why cause they're quit and more realistic. |
low caps for me. hicaps rattle to much for me, don't like winding them and they do take away from the realism.
|
MMmmmm midcaps...
|
Mids here. Loaded up to 33, of course. ;)
|
Biggest mag I can afford, since I'm going for a support gunner setup and need it to qualify for the position. I'm actually going to pad the inside of the box mag to reduce its capacity and rattling, no body needs thousands of rounds in a mag. :smack:

low caps, 33 rnds fill here too!! Just love the realism of it.
I got the STAR 30 rounds one, pretty nice. I gotta paint it flat black and put HK markings on it :-D High cap is... winding... I don't like that very much. |

Lo's all the way.With the price of star mags there are no excuses, and hey they make you a better player!
|
Low caps! I need something to fill out my vest. Though if I were to use my hi cap I could probably just fill my mag pouches with spare socks and beer.
Hmmm.... |
Midcaps. And only because TM lowcaps feed like crap in my MP5 ;)
|
Right now I have a hicap, i'd like to get all locaps by the end of summer.
|
i bought 2 extra locaps when i got my gun, and then a high cap, then a couple more locaps. i never did use the high cap except for once, so i traded it to my brother when he got an M4 for his locap. :)
now i have 7 locaps, so im thinking of loading them to just 34rnds. they add more realism (which is why you spend $1000 on a gun in the first place) plus, how are you supposed to ware a vest if you only have 1 mag? |
Locaps because of the realism and no having to wind :rrr:
|
Under-loaded midcaps and underloaded locaps for me. Hicaps for the MP5 are pretty limited anyways, can't call those users a hose really, most I've found that one can shoot on a full burst is about 42 BBs. Yes, noisy and winding is a bit of an annoyance, but the biggest problem I have is the feeding burps on occasion and how one little grain of sand can bugger a hicap up (Rawdon, grrrr!!!)

locap loaded with 33 bb's all the way, makes you strategize more instead of just being a hose.

Mostly Lows .. i keep 1 hi usaly for backup (its not to noisy if shes full to the max lol)
|
I only have 2 lo-caps right now both TM Ak ones, but have a order from WGC coming in hopefully within the week with a box of Star mags.
So I prefer Low caps. |

Low caps. |
Highcaps are fun to use every now and then, but I find a lot of people who use them tend to just stand in the open and spray because they think they're invincible...and/or Rambo. I prefer locaps because it teaches you to think before you shoot...instead of hosing everything that moves.
|
Star mags Uber-low-cap, or as some like to call them, Sim-caps... hurts a whole lot less when you loose one too.

If its a skirmish, or a quick game and I don't feel like sitting there and loading all my lows, then I go with a hicap or two.
But if its a more serious game, and the realism aspect is a big part, then its lo's all the way. |
Lowcaps for me only. I have 5 P90 lowcaps.
Hicaps are for paintballers haha |

|
Star Low Caps, get them while they're tasty...!
|
Lowcaps baby. :D
|
Waiting for order of 20 STAR G3 mags to come in...
Using MAG midcaps in my M733, though trying to limit myself to 300 round loadouts so they will only have 40 rounds in each (damn 8 packs, if only there where two more...) |
Low or midcaps all the way.
Hicaps ruin what realism is to be had with AEG's. With a hicaps YOU ARE NOTHING MORE THAN A PAINTBALLER, what with the rattling and 200 rounds + capacity. Hicaps should be banned.....just yeah, straight up banned! |
TM lows. I like metal... makes me feel like big man.. Rahhhh
|
You were bored, right? People prefer both, or midcaps, or whatever tickles their fancy, that they can afford, or works for them.
This is like asking what is your favorite gun; you get a list of every gun out there. |
LOW CAP ALL THE WAY!
some say its a pain in the ass to reload, but i say it makes it SO much better ! the tactics on holding ur fire and not spraying the whole field whit no one in sigth ! and finally i mean it makes it look so cool the movemant of changing caps and the sound of it :D I LOVE IT ! |
Lowcaps
I got 13 of those Star ones |
I see what is dominant thanks for the input guys.
|
While the only thing I own is two high caps (bough an ICS and buy a HC thinking the mag coming with the gun was a low), I prefer lo-caps. I like the feel of changing mag!

Lows, but since I'm buying a CA249 I'm going to have to work something out because I don't particularly want to be changing mags every 60 rounds. I wish there was a boxmag that fed reliably with 4-500 rounds without having to wind.

Im' sorry, but if I'm on a budget, I don't wanna dish out tonnes of cash for Locaps. And yes, Star is pumping out more and more for different guns, but not every gun is covered. And as I said before, if its a skirmish for shits and giggles, I really don't give a rats ass about super realism. Airsoft is a hobby, meant to entertain, and enjoy, I don't necesserily like always having to sacrifice my enjoyment for the sake of absolute realism. |
Quote:
That said I also own six hicaps. Three came with my guns, two I got for free cause they didn't work (easy fixes), and one I got in a trade for other stuff. I do use them in non-serious games, or in my CA249 because I don't have a box mag yet (ordered one today! :grin: ). Quote:
|
I Use Lowcaps now that I have them, so much better. But I always make sure that I have my Hicap on me and fully loaded, Just incase a game starts right up after the last one and I dont have time to reload my lowcaps :mad: .
I wouldn't mind picking up a few Midcaps though, just to round out my vest. But for Sidearms, Hicaps. Gangster Mags are the shit. |
I like HiCaps, they hold more ammo. Common sense really. Some of the new ones break easily though...
|
Highcaps= the ghey. for the price or a highcap you can almost get a box of stars. I played my first year with stars... really learn to choose your shots. Now i have a loadout of TM's for my M4 and only 8 for my Aug. My 249 I rock the boxmag, but hey whats a support gunner going to give cover with star? I own a highcap or two for each gun for rentals but thats about it. If you go by the "i got more ammo than you so I win" I think you should go back to paintball your not going to fit well with most of us. I do believe in leniency for new guys but like i said box of stars 80-100, highcap (never bought one) 75+?
|
As the signature says. Low.
|
Depends where i play. I use lowcaps when i'm at the teams field. Paintball field require highcaps to keep up with the hoses running around. Ok fine...maybe not required, but handy as fuck.
|
I have 20 TM locaps right now.
|
Im going to quote myself from a thread awhile back
Quote:
But lowcaps DO NOT make someone a better player, just a different player. "OMFG he beat me because he had more ammo them me" is just a piss poor excuse. If you cant beat someone simply because they can lay down more firepower then you can, you really need to brush up on your skills. enemy at 180 feet. Medium wind from the side. Real steel, Bang, enemy eliminated hicap, unload lots, enemy eliminated lowcap...oh, while you were being a batter player, you got shot. realism doesnt mean you spot your enemy, cant engage and have to go CQB on his ass. Realism would be able to engage your enemy regardless of wind or leaves. Not every hicap user is a sprayer. I know guys who use hicaps and you wouldnt know. Just cause someone has a hicap doesnt cut their IQ in half. If you think a hicap instantly turns someone into a paintballer, pull out your lowcap and put in a hicap. Did you get stupid? did you forget your tatics? No, its bullshat. You can play your way with or without lowcaps. Real loadout vs Real combat its preferance. All this "skill" sounds like bad excuses. If you want to force yourself to play a specific way, thats fine. in the end its all personal preferance. but it cuts a line between players. hicap users are newbs and lowcap users are elite. Over what? the excuse that one side plays like paintballers? weak. |
Well, umm, self-quoted? Hehe, ya, and it tends to burn my ass when I see "Those that use mag loadouts higher than 30rds are hoses. Play with 30rd mags, you become a better player because you are tactically more careful, yada, yada, yada." Only because it doesn't matter if I use 30rd Star mags, locaps, midcaps, or high caps, I treat each and everyone the same, and play the same no matter what. I choose my ammo weights better than I get picky about numbers of BBs in the mag. Have had enough experiences of 20-30 shots being taken at me using 0.20g BBs, through light brush, and none have gotten through. Dealt with it myself, even after I upgraded my MP5, shot 350fps and even that, would take numerous BBs to get a hit in those conditions. Up the BB weight, more realistic to a point. What would have taken me 10-20rds of 0.20g ammo, would take 3-5rd burst with 0.25g or heavier. Range gets better too. Give me a Star mag loaded with 30 x 0.20g BBs, I'll tell ya where to go. Give me a Star 30rd mag loaded with 0.25g, 0.28g or 0.30g, no problem, that's much higher performance if you know what you are doing for ballistics (case in point, I use 0.30g BBs very effectively in my G19........ shoots around 300fps with 0.20g...... out to 120ft easy. Hell, I could snipe with that thing if it wasn't so loud). Upping the weight on the ammo has greater advantages to ANY airsoft gun than upgrading and still using the featherweight indoor ammo.
|
LOW CAPS definately.
|
Both.
1 high cap. Several low caps. |
Let it die?
|
Fact: Having a Hicap mag takes away the added stress of haveing to reload mid fire fight. Good idea!
Fact: Standard or Lowcaps make a person conserve their shots. You can take a seasoned lowcap vetran and give him/her a Hicap and they WILL spray more with the confidence that they have the ammo. I normaly play with Lowcaps but recently played a few games with Hicaps and I tottaly sprayed more. Now I didn't spray as much as the other guys but hey that's the way they play on this field. I'm not saying anything bad here guys it's just a diffrent headspace, comforte zone. Just my oppinion |
I tend to use both, how ever those that wanna simulate the realism of low cap load outs should carry weights to make up the difference between those light airsoft mags and real real steel load outs. ;)
I wonder if there's enough room to put lead weight in the bottom of lowcaps since people aren't filling them to capacity. |
I only use starmags, found no real difference playing with ppl with hicaps, I just gotta reload a little more often.
|
Recieved my box of Star Ak mags a fe weeks ago, and they're great, I only have 2 TM locaps before and these fit my needs perfectly. Nothing gets the blood pumping more then trying to open your mag pouches to reload while 3 guys are trying to flank you :)

On topic Locaps here, besides brand new players who have nothing else ever MAA player uses locaps or the star simcaps. Some midcaps but everyone seems to only put locap capacity in. |
id say do whatever the hell you want lo caps hi caps whatever, i personally chose locaps with a hicap backup, but whatever floats your boat, dont let someone elses opinion change your opinion.
|
For killing cockraoches...
5-7 loaded hi-caps strategically placed around my apartment. Your first shot can hit the roach but the next one is gonna be a bit of luck. You need to follow up that first shot with the next one with continuous auto fire. Noise can scare away a roach but not if you kill it quick enough. |
I prefer midcaps, the target I can hit with a single shot from a real gun I can usually hit with a short burst (3-9 rounds) from a moderatly upgraded AEG (~350fps) up to about 80-100 feet. So 30 round real steel mags x 3 rounds to simulate one real steel bullet = 90 rounds. Most midcaps are 90-130 rounds in what would be a real steel 30 round mag so all is well. Lowcaps also work well as they usually have 68 rounds in what would be a real steel 30 round mag.
Saying reloading mid firefight better simulates real battlefield conditions is completly true. But when your reloading 2-3x more often than you would be if you had a real gun because your BB's dont have anywhere near the power of a real bullet just means all the realism is lost to me. (talking about STAR realcaps here) I tried the STAR realcaps and found that I would empty one 30 round mag doing the work of 2-3 bullets from a real gun. I dont have military experience but this is just from my target shooting experience. I've been using hicaps recently because I got a new CA36 and CA M15A4 which both come stock with hicaps and I indeed have found that I have been using a lot more ammo than I normally do when using lows or mids. There is just that psycological effect it has, I'm not against hicaps, I could care less if people I'm playing with or against are using STAR realcaps or hicaps, I just prefer not to use hicaps personally. There is of course the fact that a person with a hicap can continually fire on auto for a lot longer than someone with lows who would have to reload but keep in mind a bush is considered hard cover in airsoft because those twigs and leaves can deflect bullets. |
hicaps are fine for beginners.
|
Yeah hi caps are fun , but, lo caps for me are where it's at. Nothing like having to do a mag change in a firefight and having your squad members backing you with supperessive fire.It just adds to the rush for me. I think that if you have a new gun and can't afford new lo caps to go with , thats cool. I just like lo caps cause you really have to work to get the kill. Just my opnion.
