Hi,

any chance of you making 20rd Low cap magazines? I know MANY people
who would be interested in those. I never understood why Marui released
a 30rd Low cap and a 20rd high cap.

I think there are three ways of doing this;

First would be to cut down the 30rnd lo-caps,

Secondly I have seen articles elsewhere about using real steel mags, aparently they will fit TM thompsons with minor alterations so you could get some of those and fit lo-caps internals,

Finally using the TM hi-cap 20rnd mag you could replace the hi-cap mechanism with a lo-cap one.

Is there a third TM mag?

I have the 70 round lo cap it came with and two 400 round hi-caps, they areboth the same size?

am i missing something.?

There are three types:
30rd (low Cap / 60)
30rd (high cap / 420)
20rd (high cap / 190)

Theres a mid-cap mag based on the shorter 20 round real steel mag (see the pic on my sig on the right) They have a winder like a high cap mag, but it only needs to be wound once to get all the BBs out. They hold 190 rounds.

I generally use the 190s as the bigger mags didn't really get issued until late war...

Plus 3 of 'em makes the CiA 600 rnd ammo limit :)

10 rounds extra in a 60 round mag is like *gets calculator out* an extra 17% extra :)
