Low profile AK mags vs normal AK mags
« on: April 03, 2012, 11:25:12 AM »

I have found 2 sets of three ak mags. the first is low profile and its 40$ I like them because I dont plan on getting a vest and because they are short and easy to maneuver .

theres also the normal mags for 35$

Low profile http://www.evike.com/product_info.php?products_id=25403

normal http://www.evike.com/product_info.php?products_id=25405

My question is are they practical and are they worth the extra five dollars?

Another question I have is what brand are they?

Will they fit my cm050?

My tactics are Rifleman\Special forces rifleman thus I sometimes keep half of the enemy team suppressed.

Thanks =D

No lol.

Not when G&P magazines, which are much better quality, are only $10/pop.

unfortunately the marui hicaps are the only short AK mags available. You could try to cut down a normal hi-cap and work the internals to fit the shorter shell.

A box of 10 G&P midcaps is only $110.

IMHO the short mags have no benefit unless you like to lay low on the ground. I have both types of mags, and I only use the shorter one for games where I know I will spend most of my time crawling around in the bushes.

And if I were you I would ditch the hi-caps, as they rattle a lot. You are better off with a few midcaps if you need to be stealthy.

personally when i had my AK i loved the G&Ps and then the CA metal mids, both worked great and both fed great. I also have used the Marui short highcap, cyma highcap, and a marui mid... they all had their things i didnt like but i really like the previous the best

I've actually been having a hard time getting any of the longer ak hi caps to feed heavier bbs (0.28g and 0.30g) on both semi and auto in my cm048. Could be the bioshots or a number of other things... but the longer hicaps work fine with lower weight bbs.
I switched to the short hicaps because the spring has to push far fewer bbs than the longer ones and my feeding issues went away for the most part.

All my other aks run on the normal hi caps though.

I guess Ill be going with the normal high caps. I really dont want to switch to mid caps considering that I have to use a speed loader half the time.
I thought about switching to low profile for 2 reasons 1:I dont plan on buying a vest 2:I wanted to force myself to conserve ammo.

Thanks guys =D

I'd say get the standard size ones as if you're not running with a vest then you will have double the amount of rounds before you're out
