Realcaps. I have a hi-cap, but I never bring it with me.

I use standards and hi caps. I like the high caps for my main weapon, but I use them like standards, changing them out after each cycle (every winding cycle loads about 30 rds) but I can actually find cheap std mags for my mp5 so i use those

Mid-caps. So, I can use them in any environment with mag restrictions or not...

Huh?
Midcaps don't require winding.


Sorry if I came out unclear. I meant I like midcaps because I hate winding Hicaps.

Mp5 I use 10 Standard with 2 highs incase SHTF
M14 2 Highs with 5 mids
SCAR will be 1 high cap and 10 standards

I like the way standards change the game dynamic. You actually have to deal with reloading.

I have 16 real caps for my M-4 for training and most skirmishing, and back them up with a handful of hicaps for the rare occaision that I manage to burn through all of those.

For outdoor I use Mid-caps to keep up with all the people using high-caps. That way it is a little more fair on my part but I still have to change mags and don't have to wind or have the rattle sound.

For CQC I use real-caps.

Midcaps. I only use high caps for test firing and practice purposes since they're easy to load.

See, the only problem I have with real caps is that this isn't like real life, where a 5.56 round will punch clean through a brush, or tree, or thin structure. The BBs have little or no penetrating power at longer ranges, and in airsoft the whole "1 shot, 1 kill" is absolutely cowshit. The BBs don't go where you need them to every single time. A job that could normally be accomplished with one or two bullets takes about 6-10 BBs. To this end, I support, and will continue to support midcaps.

But people who use high caps are total losers. :D

Totally kidding. To each his own.

I use mostly hi caps, because that's what I had given to me.
I don't terribly mind mid caps, though
