Star S-mag
 

I'm buying my CA M15A4 soon and i want to get a high cap mag, i like the Star S-mag. i need to know if it's alowed in airsoft games, and what most of your think of it. http://www.milsim-supply.ca/images/SAA-S-MAG-M16-L.jpg

Most games, like milsims, won't allow you to just smack a C-Mag on a regular M4. You have to have a dedicated LMG weapon, or else use lowcaps and midcaps.

It looks cool but useless in a game since it cannot be classified in any role.

Thats taking hicap to the extreme man, its alot more fun once you add the reloading factor into your games.

In general skirmishes where there are no ammo caps, you would be fine to use it. In milsim games where there are ammo caps you'd be best to leave it at home.
I agree with the fun factor of reloading.

It's confirmed that Cmags make you smile....

...but they're not really in the spirit of mil-sims. At most ad-hoc skirmishes no-one cares...

It it makes you happy...buy it.

went up against one of these at Defcon on monday, it is definitely be better to be on the side with one of these on it, but yeh reloading makes for more interesting games tho, and way more fun.

Haha, yeah. You could always tell when he was "reloading" (read electronically winding mag) his mag because it sounded like someone was racing an RC car around the field.

why are they calling it an s mag when its a c mag?

Because the manufacturer calls it an S Mag. Read the picture.

oh i guess its like aftermath and crosman re-naming their guns different things than what they actually are
s mag = star mag apparently

that is too much ammo for an M4

You could always cardboard/duct tape mod it to be a more realistic capacity. But still, LMG gear only for LMG's. You need more than magazines to be accepted to most milsims.

Hide a 100 round midcap inside and it'll be milsim legal

yep, whats to stop someone from dual wielding skorpion aep's with drum mags lol

Its fine for a run of the mill game at Flag Raiders or Wasaga. Since you rarely see dedicated LMG's out on the field, being able to convert it to a LSW by slapping a c-mag into the gun may create some interest scenario options. Take base assault for example.

There is also a large personal factor in this buying decision. Do you have the need to walk around with 3500 rounds strapped into your m4? Do you have the need to feel bad-ass and carry something around that is a little more awkward to hold and heavier than usual? In my mind there is definately a sort of kick-ass 'why the hell would you EVER need that' factor.

Mind you, seeing a guy drop 4,000rnds of ammo in a 6 minute fire fight.

Fucking impressive.

I don't know if impressive is the word I would use; entertaining, maybe.

What's impressive is someone that gets 5 or 6 kills out of a lowcap mag; or mercies two people in a gunners nest :D

You're in PoCo right? I guess you should probably contact Op-For and BCAC.

The fields they play at are, NV Paintball, Panther, and BigFoot.

There was also a CQB field in Richmond but there were some concerns about zoning and stuff so it's temporarily closed to AS games but you can still play paintball there (from what I'm understanding)

The Only real reason why i want the S-Mag/C-Mag, so i don't have the re-load all the time and it's probably easier than lugging around 6 to 8 ordinary low-cap mags. Throgh my eyes, the ordinary high-caps for me are to much of a hassel to wined up the BB's every 2,3 minutes. besides the S-Mag/C-Magis battery powerd realoadind system so it takes away the hassel, in my opion.

Hassle?

Compared to... ? Breathing?

well i've had problems in the past with high-caps when i'm shooting at somone and the ammo i wound up runs out then i have to take cover or pray that the guy i'm shooting at dosen't shoot me while i'm winding up bb's.

good piont,

That's not a problem, that's half the point of the game. If no one ever had to take cover, airsoft would be a bunch of guys standing in a field pouring ammo at each other until they got bored and ordered a pizza.

you have a point, I have to agree, but i'm not the trigger happy guy, i perfer well placed bursts myself.

the TM 300RD hicaps will feed the entire mag before needing to be rewound, one of the guntechs at our feild carries 8 of those as his loadout.
