No, looking real is the hallmark of airsoft. Far as Im concerned, there is nothing real about having 3000 rounds vs 300 rounds when your shots dont make it past 100 feet.
Real to look at, sure
real to play with no
Person 1: "dude, check out my urber realistic AEG. its 1:1 scale and full metal with USMC markings."
Person 2: "Sweet, shoot it"
Persons 1 & 2: "Oh, thats a shame, the BB wizzes out 170 feet like a drunken bird, sent off course by the slightest breath of air and stoped dead by a leaf."
Person 1: "atleast it looks real"
lowcap mags may be enhance realism in CQB enviorments, but in the bush, the dynamics of shooting a light weight BB at low velocity simply suck.
Looking like a real solider may be nice and all, but when you step out into a field and see your enemy 250 feet away, and neither of you can engage eachother...there is nothing real about it. In that case, even lazer games are more real since their trajectories are flat and their ranges can be far.
Shitty when you can toss a baseball further then your gun can shoot.
You get hardcore realism players who are dead set on real loadouts because it adds to the realism, yet they are so quick to dismiss the fact that the performance of their guns is no more real then the kids running around their backyards with paintball/softair ,elastic bands, or supersoakers. Sometimes a better balance in the attitudes needs to be reached. If your gonna toss away one aspect of realism, you gotta relax on the other.
understandably its a saftey issue.
saying that, I use star mags in my AR  Thought I stick to my claim that 1bb does not = 1 bullet, thus 30 round lowcaps are infact not realistic.
But whatever floats your boat. Its all about having fun in your own way.

either way, I got totally offtopic |
If you want to simulate the loadout, then lowcaps are for you.
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.
