I suggest avoiding KA mags. Unlike everything else KA makes those mags are shite. They do not feed well at all. Go for the MAG brand magazines, there are the best mags on the market

Well, I was just posting that as a reference, many other retailers carry those... just look around...

PS: those mags need to be broken in when you get them, its fairly easy and will take about 30min of you time to do it....
Since they ar eplastic, they might be some seems left in the mag, and they'll cause bb jam.... so before using them in your gun, I would suggest you to open your favorite TV show, take some bbs, a speedloader, and start loading the mags. Then empty them manually. Repeat 2-3 times until you can empty all the bbs without jams...

If they do get jammed while you are "breaking them in" just give them a small tap on the side to unjam them!
PS: the speedloader is really important, loading 130bbs one by one sucks!....lol

Sadly Cheap and Airsoft usually don't go hand in hand.

Just make sure you're able to carry 300 rounds and you should be fine. For skirmishes they're usually not long enough, unless you use your rifle like a fire hose, to use all 300 rounds. For mil-sim there's typically ammo limits as well that limit you to around 300 rounds for assault rifles as well.

A good idea for non ammo limit games is to just keep a pouch with a speed loader and some ,~500+, bastards in it, then take 2 minutes down time to reload behind some cover.

Mag magazines come highly recommended

Get these magazines.

I have sold hundreds of them and no complaints at all.

XON50 · April 17th, 2011, 22:56

stay away from king arms plastic mags. i owned some and had a terrible experience with them. they would misfeed like crazy.

i agree on MAG branded magazines. i personally run their plastic mid caps and have never had a problem or misfeed. i actually just picked up some more from airsoftparts.

Since everyone's giving there opinions stay away from STAR/ARES green label ones. The newer ones seem to be better but overall have more issues than the KA ones.

MAG is still by far the best.

I use STAR/ARES regular armalite mags (not pmags) and they work perfectly for me and every gun I've tried them in (Classic army, king arms, ares, g&p)
