Interesting. I've never had any problems with stock ACM hicaps. Looks like China wins again fellas!

I like standard caps, 75rds are a nice compromise between realism and being practical. I'd love using real caps but i think i can get too trigger happy sometimes

I'll stick with my 68 round low-caps for my p90. Kthanxbai.

I have 2 CA hi-caps, and 1 echo1 hi-cap for it, and they all suck, mis-feed, jam, or un-wind randomly. However, my low-caps, I've never had a problem with, and 68 rounds is more than enough for a CQC game averaging around 20 people or so. Ammo conservation, and a spare clip for emergencies, thats all I need.

Only problem with the P90 mags, at least when I was buying things for my P90, they were rather expensive.

Now that MAG has been producing them, they are much more consumer friendly.

Yeah, $35 a pop. :/ Regardles of round capacity did kinda suck. Although they were probably more expensive when you purchased yours.

I actually got them $28 each. This was back before anyone else was even planning on producing them. Think back about 4 years...

I got a really good price.

Ive never had any problems with any of the CA highcaps I have used in the past. They have been dropped on concrete and everywhere else. One even went swimming in the creek at Splat action. Dried it out and even it works fine. LOL

Kinda off topic here, but you can get the ACM (KS) 68round Mids for about $10 ea with shipping. They're they're the same ones E1 rebrands, a bit crummy, but they work.

No tape on mine. I used them to practice mag swaps in my garage, they have hit the concrete many times.

Maybe just bad luck on your part, its not really logical to condemn an entire
companies product line base on your very limited experience and sample size. I also have 12 of their mid-caps, never had a problem with any of them either.

i use mid caps, as back ups. when my high cap runs out i switch to a mid cap.
That seems pretty backwards. I use CA midcaps, once I'm out of those I have a handfull of M16 VN 190 round high-caps for when shit hits the fan.

I don't have any hi-caps.. I use 12 mags. 50% mid and 50% real caps. When I am headed to and from the re-spawn I reload. I also reload when there is a lull of activity or when on the move to an objective..
