Ive owned TM lows and highs, CA hicap, Star 30rnd and the MAG 100rnd. Ive used them in a TM G36 that I own now and a CA g36 that I used to own. All fead great except the star mags that gave a teammate problems feeding in his CA G36K.

The biggest problem with the G36 mags are the tabs breaking off. TM mags are notorious for this. A teammate of mine not only busted off both tabs of a Star mag when he droped them. But both female halfs of the magazine lock also broke off(plastic on the star mags is really weak). I have 12 MAG magazines and still havent been able to break off a tab yet. And thats wearing them on the front of my vest and falling and crawling around on them in prone position at a game.

The other problem with G36 mags is when you clip them together there is a wobble between the two mags. They dont lock together tightly with some brands and I think that contributes to the tabs breaking off. Out of the brands Ive seen TM is again the worst for this. The mags are really wobbly. If you put 12 of them together you can make them do the wave. The MAG brand mags however have a solid lock together. I put 12 of them together and tried to see how much wobble there would be and there was none at all. I couldnt even get them all to bend even a little bit. Star mags were a bit better then the TM mags.

In my opinion MAG brand mags are far superior to TM mags and other brands. And considering the price point is less then half that of most other brands it makes a good deal even better. Most of my team are running with MAG brand mags now.
