Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Hi-cap reliability

CuppoJava · May 30th, 2006, 20:44

Hi,
I'm about to purchase a mag for my about-to-be-purchased M14, and I'm wondering about the reliability of high-capacity magazines.
Everything that I read says that the winding mechanism is less reliable than low and mid-caps. But can someone tell me what this actually means?

Do they jam every say 100 shots? 200 shots? And is it easy enough to unjam them in the middle of a skirmish?
Also I heard they break really easily as compared to spring-loaded mags. Is this true?

I'm gonna be firing in semi-auto most of the time, and the 160 mid-cap is more than sufficient, but the high-cap is just more bang for the buck.

Thanks for your help
