mimozine Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 hi guys, quick question for ya, can you overwind high-caps? i dont wanna break em so was wondering how many times i can safely wind em up. thx
Twice19 Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 ^^ what he said. It's been a long time since I used Hi-Caps, but from what I remember it take a lot to "overwind" them to an extent of damage. The sound will change from "bzzzz-bzzzz", to ""bzzz-click-bzzz-click" when you wind. Once it's clicking, your done. I seem to remember the mechanism gets pretty stiff it's it's overwound, so if your putting extra pressure on it to turn it - stop.
two_zero Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 stop winding when it goes tug tug tug instead of rrrh rrrh rrrrh rrrrh. seriously, take the mag fill it with BBs and stand winding - you will feel it.
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted February 26, 2016 Supporters Posted February 26, 2016 With ANY mag.... Empty the mag when ya finished !!!! Leave a mag wound up or midcap loaded for a fortnight/ month or so it will lose tension in spring do you will eventually be winding the mag to fire 6-10 shots Same goes for gun, ensure you fire it on semi a couple of times, if crazy speed mofo gun, try and park it with a used battery Leaving gun's spring pre-cocked will result in fps loss very quickly Kind of common sense but just letting ya know to help gun & last longer - hopefully skarra333 1
