I like reloads. It's main reason for using midcaps. I like to be limited (somewhat) on ammo in one mag. So I mostly use like 60-80 BBs midcaps which usually work just fine without extreme pressure on BBs. And I carry like 6 of them.
Yes! And most of our fields/games over here follows the same standard rules. Me, who falls in the AUTO B class, are confined to a maximum of 80bb's per mag, so midcap is kinda just easier(plus I also like the reloading). Unrelated: Auto B also can't have more than 389,3fps / 118,7mps for 0,25 and 307,4fps for 0,3. And a safety distance of 10meters, whitin 10m I'll have to draw my "cqb-fps" sidearm if I want to shoot anyone.
The rattle is enough for me to never touch a hicap again, so long as I am able to get good midcaps for the gun I'm running (LMGs notwithstanding, of course, not like you're gonna be sneaky beaky like with one of them). That being said, the winding is also a disadvantage that has a few potential benefits. Takes ages, finger gets sore, just as bad as rattling when out in the field. It's why I far prefer flash mag style hicaps, since they wind so much faster. Also, you actually get to reload when you use a midcap, hicaps hold too much ammo. Objectively inferior in terms of game performance, I know, but I just love to reload in the middle of a battle.
Everyone says "hi caps hold more ammo" but i would say they don't hold more where you really need it. A highcap might hold 700 bbs but most I've had only get like 50 shots before you have to wind, versus a midcap only holds 100 but you get all 100 continuously. And ill bet i can swap mags just as fast if not faster than it would take me to wind the midcap enough for it to start feeding again
@@NegativeAirsoftTech But if you wind the hi cap mag enough to give you a similar bb feeding efficiency to the midcaps then midcap syndrome should then also become a concern?
They rattle, you can fire less continuously before you have to turn the little wheel, sometimes the little trapdoor through which you put the BBs in goes loose very quickly so if you're not careful it just opens and spills it out. And reloading in general is not problem. The price for capacity ratio is a fair point for hicaps but if you're already spending 300£ for an Airsoft gun, you can afford extra 20£ worth of mags.
i find that hi caps feed more poorly than mid caps, a good hicap is amazing, especially if a P90 hicap does its job and dosnt auto unwind since thats the only hi cap that doesnt rattle.
Same. I have used both in my cyma ak. The midcaps run flawlessly whereas the hicaps have given me issues on full auto.

The last solution is probably the most practical (widening the cylinder's tube). I did it once with the nozzle still on and then forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder!
The main reason i switched to midcaps is they feed more reliably. I couldn't get any of the 3 hicaps i had to feed consistently at 20 rps in my ak which just has a 22k motor, 11.1 25c 1300 mah, and standard 18:1 gears. I only run .25's. I switched to pts tpm's and they fed flawlessly. I don't know why it's like that but the stock cyma bakelite ak74 mag was skipping 3 rounds when i tried to shoot full auto every few shots. Double eagle metal ak47 hicap same thing. And cyma Bulgarian 5.56 flash mag again didn't work. That's not to say they don't work on semi because they do and yes i can pull the trigger really fast and they will feed. Its just the full auto for some reason. It also wasn't a case of too much pressure because if it was it would've stopped after the first shots.
I have the exact opposite issue. Midcaps wont feed my hose gun over 20 rps unless i use light weights . As soon as i through. 32 in a mid cap they act like a prome date and choke even on semi . I can throw a drum or flash in them and they will eat .32g @ 30/35 rps all day .
Ive had the same problem with my cyma ak74. Completely stock, I was having occasional feed issues on both 7.4 and 11.1. switched to midcaps and it disappeared.
If bb's spit out the top of your hi cap mag when winding it, that means the bb catch (the little part uptop you can pull back to release bbs) is too short or even broke.
I own 5 different airsoft carbines/rifles and only 1 of them has the midcap issue. For some reason its gotten better after changing the spring from 120 m/s to a 100 m/s spring. No idea why. But you have given me a new point of view on high caps so I consider to run high caps, thanks !
Great video as always ... just a couple of points 1 I've used XT ( the yellow 60amp conn ) from rc days. I believe the current flow around tge outside surface of tge connector ... hence as good if not better than deans + it semi locks when connected. 2 I've used std PTS EPM midcaps .... hardly any misfeeds ( on a Krytac !! yadda yadda yadda) 2 nozzles - great info.Thx. Could you use an engineering reamer to precisely "scrape" out the bore to a precise size ?? You can get adjustable reamers ( not sure what sizes though)
You bring up LCT and hi caps being an option. But I'll have you know, that my LCT PP19 hates BOTH mids and hi cap mags. Especially the hi cap it came with. It'll cycle its low caps
I normally use mid-caps (epm 150s, krytac 150s or Specna 120s) and got no problem at all. Still have two spare hi-caps I give to friends or teammates but never use them personally, just can’t stand the rattle and the compulsion to wind it…
Taking your hand off the gun to wind a mag in an awkward direction is a nightmare, I can't stand firing 10bbs then having to wind its shit. Mid caps will always be my favorite.
@@lordcaoliki2168 for me is more like “have to wind this piece of crap or a Hpa lmg shooting 30rps full auto 0,36s with 1,5joule is going to pre-fire me into hell!” kinda situation. Yes we have 1,5j full auto here, even in cqb. Shit gets wild…
The thing I love about hi caps is the ability of carrying so many bbs etc. But most of all it's amazing for new players. New players don't want mid caps and spending more and more on mags. Then worrying about making sure this and that. They want to bang some bbs in a hi cap and get out there to explore the hobby.
As a new player i wanted mod caps. My aeg came with a high cap and a mid cap. Airsoft gi had a special if you got an aeg you got two elite force mid caps to go with it. I never use the high cap
As a new player I despised hicap mags. The mags feel so shitty. You never know when you're going to dry fire. With midcaps I know I got around 250 bbs to shoot and then I know I have to switch
I'm not seeing anyone talking about how he started to get heated half way through, until then he was making really good points about why people should run Hi caps. But once he started to curse and call them "stupid ass" at 13:35 he stopped trying to convince mid cap exclusive people and started to use emotions in a logic based argument.
In my club we use to call midcaps as “Maracas” because of the rattling sound. But after one of my buddies bought an Arcturus HK416 (he has a specific fetish for that replica, no way to fix it), midcap syndrome showed up like a mushroom in july: no freaking way to fit hi-cap magazines in it. 😅 He CAN’T fit hi-cap mags into that. And I even tried some of my stanag mags to see which fits or not. So, in the middle of an engage, you’re screwed, because changing midcaps is a waste of time, while with a rattling one you unload whatever bbs you want. And I did not talked about refilling them…
I switched to gas because they don't suck balls to work on. Forced me to become a better shot because I have limited bbs to work with. I would sooner simp real caps before hi caps
the best cure to mag rattle is to ask the guy in his milsim Operaytor vest is to jump up an down,ah, seems your gear is louder than my misses when when i tell her to turn off married at first sight to watch stoke vs west Bromwich Albion 0-0 .
i prefer mid caps because i play in the woods with a smallish group of people. 8-15 and i wear a ghillie with silenced hpa. stealth is very important to me and i don’t mind mid caps. i’ve personally never had to deal with midcap syndrome before and i run the EPM1’s without any issue (aside from a couple odin rebuild kits…)
I only use mids, but yeesh...I have to keep a Word document detailing which of my mids work with which replicas. One only feeds Elite Force, one only feeds MAG or Modify brand, one will feed any mid so long as it has a metal shell, etc. Meanwhile, every hicap I've ever owned has fed in every replica I've owned without issue.
They could copy JG G36 nozzle with a slider on top and hu chamber with a spring loaded tab. I think it was to prevent double feeding but it would surely help keeping the nozzle down.
Talking about about midcap syndrome as if everyone knows what you mean doesn't make you a hypocrite, it makes you ignorant. But either way you explained it pretty much dead on! Cheers for that
definitively a high cap user here, but one question regarding the nozzle fitment tho, the nozzle may wobble a bit on the cylinder head when by themselves, but what about the whole assembly? if the Hop up block doesn't allow much movement for the nozzle, then it should not interfer with the loading of the bb's and therefore the goal would be to get the smoothest movement of the nozzle on the cylinder head? (since the nozzle would not move much thanks to the Hop up Block). Would a Delayer be a better solution then since it will keep the nozzle open for longer?
may i add that it's all purely theorytical, in the case of having the proper nozzle to hop up block fitment (not even counting for the tappet plate stiffness and the hop up bucking)
@@floriangravouil1456 I'm thinking you're right. We should be able to, with the gun fully assembled, poke up into the mag well with an unjamming rod to see if there is movement of the nozzle inside the hop unit (maybe test the nozzle multiple times at different positions/extensions just to be safe?). If there is none, then "nozzle wobble" should be ruled out as the cause for any feed issues that do exist.
"Hicaps rattle" the cry of someone who has only used them as a hire player. Full hicaps don't have space for bbs to rattle loudly. Empty hicaps don't have any bbs to rattle and unless you're Michael J. Fox the one in your gun shouldn't be rattling either.
Thank you defending Hi-Caps, I get made fun of by my buddies all the time saying I got "baby rattles" in my mag pouches. But honestly Hi-caps are just better in everyway. Also shout out to Bob.
The only reason I ever put deans connectors on my guns in the first place was because I (used to) have RC cars with deans. So, I had loads of deans batteries.
What I really like about this channel is that by not trying to appease the airsoft masses, it instead collects some decent people in the comment section giving their take and letting an airsoft noob like me see some good points being made on both sides of whatever the discourse happens to be about. stay you
I've bought two metal mid caps that swap from 30 to 140 and I've got a high cap that cane with my gun. I like to have the option to change my capacity depending on the game/environment I'm in.
My issues with highcaps: they rattle, you don't always know how much tension (read: shots before you have to wind again) is in the clockwork spring, the winding wheel is a drag to use (flash mags are a thing, but they introduce another failure point), that clockwork spring is easy to break if you're a caveman like me and overwind the shit out of them, and you can very easily jam a highcap. There's also the issue that a lot of milsim organizers don't allow highcaps (and limit the number of mags you can carry)... but they will allow EPM1s which are close enough in capacity.
how can you say the only disadvantage to high caps is that they rattle? If you have a high rps you need a good quality midcap or else you will be dry firing a hell of a lot, you will always be dry firing because you need to wind the stupid thing more then you shoot with it, If you want to play at a milsims you will need to bin them and buy some midcaps anyway, 99% of high cap brands are just cheap trash, there more heavy because you have more bb's in your loadout, If you want to reload mid game it means you have to bring a bottle of bb's with you, The only high caps I can agree with you on is the p90 mags because they reload the whole mag with 1 wind, I have fully custom DSG build and can't even use high caps because the springs are never strong enough unless you literally modify the mag to get it to feed. Still love the content keep it up!
both of your cases are edge cases tbh, milsim is the minority of games as are DSG builds. as for reloading most people don't they just carry a second hicap and if you need more than 1200 rounds in an hour long game then you're looking at box mags or really looking at how you are shooting.
After watching just 2 videos from this guy I can already extrapolate what he thinks about people trying to take Airsoft seriously in any way and pretending it's not just wackos shooting each other with toy guns for fun. So with that I daresay he doesn't care about milsim too much...
REAP CAP OR BUST i hate mid caps and high caps. Beyond the adrenaline rush from reloads, BB warz too often becomes two sides at near or beyond max range just trying to hose one another without any actual tactics. seriously your next skirmish. let your team mates shoot, get tthem to suppress,.
Tbh if you're sneaking around, you shouldn't be moving in a way that makes you high cap rattle anyway. As someone who carries around an AUG with a backpack filled with ammo while using a high cap, I can still easily sneak around if I need to. So the rattle doesn't even bother me whatsoever.
100% agree with the comment about lct pistons suck, my rpk lasted less than a day, just because it has a full metal rack kids, does not mean it is a good piston.
Mid caps feed better, weigh less, have less to break due to a simpler design. While you don't have to reload with hi caps as much, the rattle and unreliability compared to mid caps are enough to stay away from hi caps. Ever since I got my mid caps, I haven't touched ANY of my hi caps for any reason. Edit: This ^ was in terms of M4s. Mid caps on a lot of different platforms are pretty garbage.
I've been using the cylinder head tapering/flaring method for yonks now, but as shown it's easy to go too far haha But great technique nonetheless - Cheers for letting the broader community learn Luke- Helpful demonstration :)
I had a highcap for my m4 and it was garbage, it wouldnt feed at all i literally had to hold the gun upside down to use it, midcaps use a spring with constant pressure to push a new bb into the barrel highcaps use a gear system and rely on bbs to keep the pressure in order for it to feed new rounds and that is unreliable
I play cqb and with all the constant shooting from everybody. You are not going to notice any rattle from a high cap mag. Ics are my favorite kind of high cap because they have the smoothest winding wheel.
Just bought my first aeg. Never liked winding hi caps. I like mid caps so i can reload after doing what the high caps do and spurt 100+ bbs up the wall
Games with 40rnd per mag limitation led to much more interesting matches in my experience. There isn't much nuance to coming towards the corner while constantly hosing it with an infinite stream of BBs. With forced frequient downtimes due to reloading it creates opportunities for attackers and defenders for counter play. It associates opportunity cost with pulling the trigger and encourages planning ahead. It allows you to be caught off-guard and catch enemies pants down. 90rnd works better outdoors since you use on average more BBs to hit someone than indoors due to environmental conditions and average engagement distance. In general, I really love the idea of midcap mags with capacity switch, they work really damn well but unfortunately, they're not widely adopted - hobby has been long since overtaken with wallet warriors and it became cock measuring contest at who can spit out more BBs hence the "wanker builds" with 1000rpm and idiots overshooting everyone... On the other hand, PTS Syndicate EPM1 magazines exist if you run M4 platform - 250bbs, perfect feeding and no rattle or winding up...

Hi-cap mags : Like Watson offering his hand shake to Holmes's brother.... "Noooo" Sherlock:" yeah he doesn't do that". 🤣

Thank you defending Hi-Caps, I get made fun of by my buddies all the time saying I got "baby rattles" in my mag pouches. But honestly Hi-caps are just better in everyway.
Also shout out to Bob.
The only reason I ever put deans connectors on my guns in the first place was because I (used to) have RC cars with deans. So, I had loads of deans batteries.
That was an XT60.
For me playing with max 7 other people at a now defunct paintball field the rattle is too much when running. I also like reloading!

HAHAHAHAHAHA "i like anime" fucking SENT me

What I really like about this channel is that by not trying to appease the airsoft masses, it instead collects some decent people in the comment section giving their take and letting an airsoft noob like me see some good points being made on both sides of whatever the discourse happens to be about. stay you
I've bought two metal mid caps that swap from 30 to 140 and I've got a high cap that cane with my gun. I like to have the option to change my capacity depending on the game/environment I'm in.
My issues with highcaps: they rattle, you don't always know how much tension (read: shots before you have to wind again) is in the clockwork spring, the winding wheel is a drag to use (flash mags are a thing, but they introduce another failure point), that clockwork spring is easy to break if you're a caveman like me and overwind the shit out of them, and you can very easily jam a highcap. There's also the issue that a lot of milsim organizers don't allow highcaps (and limit the number of mags you can carry)... but they will allow EPM1s which are close enough in capacity.
I mean, I use one of those two and 50 on midcalf but I I also have midcalf syndrome. Can’t help it I’ve tried.
Vids that use white bat audio are always better. Approved 👍
The dude needs an award
how can you say the only disadvantage to high caps is that they rattle? If you have a high rps you need a good quality midcap or else you will be dry firing a hell of a lot, you will always be dry firing because you need to wind the stupid thing more then you shoot with it, If you want to play at a milsims you will need to bin them and buy some midcaps anyway, 99% of high cap brands are just cheap trash, there more heavy because you have more bb's in your loadout, If you want to reload mid game it means you have to bring a bottle of bb's with you, The only high caps I can agree with you on is the p90 mags because they reload the whole mag with 1 wind, I have fully custom DSG build and can't even use high caps because the springs are never strong enough unless you literally modify the mag to get it to feed. Still love the content keep it up!
both of your cases are edge cases tbh, milsim is the minority of games as are DSG builds.
as for reloading most people don't they just carry a second hicap and if you need more than 1200 rounds in an hour long game then you're looking at box mags or really looking at how you are shooting.
After watching just 2 videos from this guy I can already extrapolate what he thinks about people trying to take Airsoft seriously in any way and pretending it's not just wackos shooting each other with toy guns for fun. So with that I daresay he doesn't care about milsim too much...
@@FrederickApollyon he is at least supportive of it and doesn't shit on it.
@@FrederickApollyon I don't think it matters if he cares about milsim or not its a part of airsoft that people enjoy.
@@jediknight129 yeah but he shits on midcaps?
REAP CAP OR BUST
i hate mid caps and high caps. Beyond the adrenaline rush from reloads, BB warz too often becomes two sides at near or beyond max range just trying to hose one another without any actual tactics.
seriously your next skirmish. let your team mates shoot, get tthem to suppress,.
If you glue the nozzle to the tappet plate it should also help.
It's messy & not professional enough looking for me
@@NegativeAirsoftTech Oh ok.
@@Live1509 look at that! A real answer from me!
Hey man, learnt something, appreciate it.
I've always had great luck with mid/low caps, but it's amazing how few issues you have with some research and common sense.
It's just luck. Don't give yourself too much credit.
Tbh if you're sneaking around, you shouldn't be moving in a way that makes you high cap rattle anyway.
As someone who carries around an AUG with a backpack filled with ammo while using a high cap, I can still easily sneak around if I need to. So the rattle doesn't even bother me whatsoever.
Pirelli tyres on a unicycle hahah that’s priceless mate
100% agree with the comment about lct pistons suck, my rpk lasted less than a day, just because it has a full metal rack kids, does not mean it is a good piston.
Yay for hi-caps!
another super video. Thanks man
Mid caps feed better, weigh less, have less to break due to a simpler design. While you don't have to reload with hi caps as much, the rattle and unreliability compared to mid caps are enough to stay away from hi caps. Ever since I got my mid caps, I haven't touched ANY of my hi caps for any reason.
Edit: This ^ was in terms of M4s. Mid caps on a lot of different platforms are pretty garbage.
I only use hicaps if they're flash mags. Those things are crazy.
ill replace a nozzle before i finger my mags all day
80f degrees is too hot. 30f degrees is too cold.... damn British people are so sensitive. 😉 good video keep it up
😂 This guy should try lazer tag .
I've been using the cylinder head tapering/flaring method for yonks now, but as shown it's easy to go too far haha
But great technique nonetheless - Cheers for letting the broader community learn Luke- Helpful demonstration :)
Dude the winding of the mag was painful lol. Flash mags are really the thing lol.
I had a highcap for my m4 and it was garbage, it wouldnt feed at all i literally had to hold the gun upside down to use it, midcaps use a spring with constant pressure to push a new bb into the barrel highcaps use a gear system and rely on bbs to keep the pressure in order for it to feed new rounds and that is unreliable
I can hear the milsim guys already
Finally someone says what Im preaching. Highcaps are win caps
I play cqb and with all the constant shooting from everybody. You are not going to notice any rattle from a high cap mag. Ics are my favorite kind of high cap because they have the smoothest winding wheel.
I like hicaps for new guns that I havn't got any midcaps for yet
Real steel hicap(drum mags/belt boxes) rattle too
Good tip about the nozzle
Midcaps are just cooler. You don't wind real magazines (unless it's a Bizon) so why wind airsoft mags?
Back when I still airsoft I use exclusively hi caps so 1. I only need to carry 2 mags each game 2. Fuck reloading.
I never understood the hype with maxx parts when I could get stock parts or cheaper standard replacement parts to work as well or better.
I love a tight o ring in the morning.
I run with 5 hicaps (380rds). I don't mind winding nor do I mind the rattle
I like using electric hi-caps.
Just bought my first aeg. Never liked winding hi caps. I like mid caps so i can reload after doing what the high caps do and spurt 100+ bbs up the wall
*laught in gbbr*
Mid caps are better in every way.
that's what happened with my 120$ ak 47
klassic (: idc what other use, i dont need a wankers-cramp while winding and a toddler rattle in my gun. For me enough to not use highcaps.
i prefer midcaps because they feed better and dont rattle
Most of my milsim games are midcaps only. Haven't used hicap mags unless I do a walk-in game.
Games with 40rnd per mag limitation led to much more interesting matches in my experience. There isn't much nuance to coming towards the corner while constantly hosing it with an infinite stream of BBs. With forced frequient downtimes due to reloading it creates opportunities for attackers and defenders for counter play. It associates opportunity cost with pulling the trigger and encourages planning ahead. It allows you to be caught off-guard and catch enemies pants down. 90rnd works better outdoors since you use on average more BBs to hit someone than indoors due to environmental conditions and average engagement distance.
In general, I really love the idea of midcap mags with capacity switch, they work really damn well but unfortunately, they're not widely adopted - hobby has been long since overtaken with wallet warriors and it became cock measuring contest at who can spit out more BBs hence the "wanker builds" with 1000rpm and idiots overshooting everyone...
On the other hand, PTS Syndicate EPM1 magazines exist if you run M4 platform - 250bbs, perfect feeding and no rattle or winding up...
