Mid Cap magazine - High Capacity

[Mik3F]

Does anyone know of any other brands other then EMP1 and Amarok that do a 250 round midcap magazine

 

Ideally I am looking for ones with a round counter so I can see when they are running low

 

I know EMP1 do this, but they are pricey

 

Are they worth it?

 

Looking to use in my Lancer tactical gen 3

Round counter wise you can do tricks with the ammo loading.

 

Eg stuff in 10 of your usual ammo weight, then a few lighter weight, then fill up.

 

That way when you see rounds heading for space you know you're running low. The same can be done with tracer colours if your running one.

No "counter" but a good alternative...

... but to honest the orange counter in the EPM1 is really only for guidance as it's (edit) inaccurate.

 

I'd say overall the updated PTS EPM1 is still king for me.

I’ve ordered an EPM1 RX. 
 

let’s see if they are as good as they make out

Keep in mind that past a certain bb threshold those mags really take a toll on AEG nozzles.

ALL of them, some brands more than others but it's still an issue.

Worthwhile loading them up with cheap 0.20g BB's fully first and leaving them loaded for a week or so (taking a little tension away from the spring).

Why is that important, I would have thought the more tension in the spring the better for the feeding

Midcap Syndrome.

Does anyone have the new RX version, are they easier to load?

[Mik3F]

Its just arrived and I managed to load it fine with a normal speedloader, gets a little harder as it fills up

 

Loaded it twice

 

Will be intresting to see if my odin clone makes it easier to load when that arrives tomorrow

careful you don't over fill the mags, I find it too easy with an odin type loader.

You can do that?

 

As much as I tried I couldn't get any more than the 250 into it with the normal speedloader

[ButcherBill]

yup, just caused me midcap syndrome

[Adolf Hamster]

A stub of inner barrel with a pin fitted in one emd can be used to make a de-loader, make it~60mm so 10 bbs can be popped out at a time without sending the whole mag contents flying

[Mik3F]

Thats a good idea,

 

I have a bag dumper tool, but that empties the entire mag

 

On another note my odin clone arrived today and it loads the EPM1 RX mag with ease
