Do you prefer highcaps or low caps.

DeathSniper · April 19th, 2006, 16:29

Lowcaps baby.

LUTNIT · April 19th, 2006, 16:43

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...)

Rumpel Felt · April 19th, 2006, 16:46

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

I LOVE IT !

Arc · April 19th, 2006, 17:18

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.

Bingo. Even us ubar-milsimmers in Manitoba still make exceptions for beginners with hicaps. You're expected to go buy low and realcaps when your budget allows, but rarely does anyone sit out if one hicap is all they have. If anything, other players will loan you lowcaps if you need some. I've got seventeen Star mags myself, others here have double, triple, or sometimes MORE than that. No, I ain't kidding.

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: ).

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

.
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.

AMetalSplinter · April 20th, 2006, 15:20

I like HiCaps, they hold more ammo. Common sense really. Some of the new ones break easily though...
