Do you prefer highcaps or low caps.

Since when do you need to be age verified to buy mags? Mags make it though customs you dont even need to deal with a Canadian airsoft dealer to get them. Nowhere in there did be mention buying an AEG.

On topic Locaps here, besides brand new players who have nothing else ever MAA player uses locaps or the star simcaps. Some midcaps but everyone seems to only put locap capacity in.

id say do whatever the hell you want lo caps hi caps whatever, i personally chose locaps with a hicap backup, but whatever floats your boat, dont let someone elses opinion change your opinion.

For killing cockraoches...

5-7 loaded hi-caps strategically placed around my apartment. Your first shot can hit the roach but the next one is gonna be a bit of luck. You need to follow up that first shot with the next one with continuous auto fire.

Noise can scare away a roach but not if you kill it quick enough.

I prefer midcaps, the target I can hit with a single shot from a real gun I can usually hit with a short burst (3-9 rounds) from a moderatly upgraded AEG (~350fps) up to about 80-100 feet. So 30 round real steel mags x 3 rounds to simulate one real steel bullet = 90 rounds. Most midcaps are 90-130 rounds in what would be a real steel 30 round mag so all is well. Lowcaps also work well as they usually have 68 rounds in what would be a real steel 30 round mag.

Saying reloading mid firefight better simulates real battlefield conditions is completly true. But when your reloading 2-3x more often than you would be if you had a real gun because your BB's dont have anywhere near the power of a real bullet just means all the realism is lost to me. (talking about STAR realcaps here)

I tried the STAR realcaps and found that I would empty one 30 round mag doing the work of 2-3 bullets from a real gun. I dont have military experience but this is just from my target shooting experience.

I've been using hicaps recently because I got a new CA36 and CA M15A4 which both come stock with hicaps and I indeed have found that I have been using a lot more ammo than I normally do when using lows or mids. There is just that psycological effect it has, I'm not against hicaps, I could care less if people I'm playing with or against are using STAR realcaps or hicaps, I just prefer not to use hicaps personally. There is of course the fact that a person with a hicap can continually fire on auto for a lot longer than someone with lows who would have to reload but keep in mind a bush is considered hard cover in airsoft because those twigs and leaves can deflect bullets.

hicaps are fine for beginners.

Yeah hi caps are fun , but, lo caps for me are where it's at. Nothing like having to do a mag change in a firefight and having your squad members backing you with supperessive fire.It just adds to the rush for me. I think that if you have a new gun and can't afford new lo caps to go with , thats cool. I just like lo caps cause you really have to work to get the kill. Just my opnion.

I'm strongly suggesting this to resolve the many other questions this person has. If he's verified, he will have access to the full forums, and better information overall. On top of that, he will be able to ask his questions in person and get better answers on top of seeing first-hand what he's talking about.
