hey guys, looking for a mag for my CYMA AKS74U, would this be a wind up? http://www.uncompany.com/pageproduct...sp?prodid=3800

Tankdude · February 16th, 2009, 11:09

yes it would be

99% of the time if a mag has more than 150 rnd's they are windup mags.

now just a sugestion

i call high caps " high craps"
you might want to look into midcaps.
they are less prone to feeding problems.

i play with my G36c and HK416 with "mag" brand midcaps and love them.

so if you have the money might want too invest in those.
and they are not too expensive.

i know they make AK midcaps

just make shure they are compatible with your cyma

Seriously? All the mags I've had feeding issues with are midcaps. I've never had a highcap miss feed. Though I try not to use either.

i always had feeding problems with hi caps.
i guess it depends on the gun / bb's / type of mag ETC

but the "mag" brand never had any problems with them.
and most of the people on my team use this brand and have few problems with them.

Highcaps are for people who play paintball with airsoft guns. If that sounds like your style, go nuts. Otherwise, invest in real-capacity magazines.

You've inexplicably managed to avoid discussing his other options. Midcaps are awesome, so are standard caps. Once you find a brand that feeds reliably in your gun, you'll be thrilled with them. Many guns don't have realcaps, so if you don't want to wind, you'll be stuck with standards.

funny, cause knowing myself, i hate paintball type style. Is it ok with you that i am looking for a high cap because i dont feel like spending tons of money on real cap mags??? (100rnd mags do sound great though)

with my kraken AK i used 6 x 70rnd king arm mags, i did some modification on the mags for my AKS74U, but unfortunately it didn't help. I want to get non winding high cap mags cause i dont want to spend lots money on several real capacity mags. 40 some USD$ for shipping for a box for mags is kind of crazy imo

Doesn't exist.

If you can find midcaps that feed reliably, they're a good economic way to go. I personally haven't had any luck with them (the MAG G36 midcaps are complete crap), but others have.

my mag brand AK mags fed well at first, but then...not so much.
I was told a drop of silicon oil can help quite a bit. I gave it a try and it helped considerably.

my brother has 2 mid cap mag for AK, he told me he pay 20 buck for 2 of them.

I am a paintballer also but even with my hicap (its all i have for now) i tend to stop myself roughly every 30-40 shots to ensure my mag is wound which would equate to the amount of time it takes to swap mags and also to be fair to guys who are running locaps most of games we try to stick to a real tactical load and for us newbs with highcaps we ensure we dont jsut sit there and shoot till our spring unwinds
