hwagan Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 So the GHK M4 works on CO2. Great news. Awesome news indeed - My only concern is will these mags leak at every opportunity like the first gen, and will you be able to remove capsules easily without throwing the mag baseplate first at a concrete floor 6-8 times? Perhaps this will cheer up hwagan after missing out on the fun that is the beauty of a G&P SR16E3 WOC YOU SHUT UP SIR. Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 For those who had experience with the first gen CO2 mag, were they as heavy as the green gas mags? Link to post Share on other sites
Bada Bing Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Would be worth investing in some of these, 80rds before you need to refill C02 is a bonus for me. My old WE mags could get through around 40 before they died. And that was mild weather. Let alone ice cold. Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 For those who had experience with the first gen CO2 mag, were they as heavy as the green gas mags? Pretty much yeah; not a lot between them I'd say. Link to post Share on other sites

Leaking is something that can be resolved, unless the design is so FUBAR like it is at eb tech magazines. I took apart a gen 1 magazine from GHK, and that thing is a spaceship compared to eb tech in design. So I think these new ones will be okay. Link to post Share on other sites

Stopping the leaking isn't such an issue; It's the fact that the capsules get stuck so solidly you literally need to throw the magazine, hard, at a solid surface to jar it loose...

Grimmese Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Lets hope they will work wiht Viper tech M4's Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 I've seen G5 mags modded for vipertechs (or vipertechs modded for G5 mags, can't remember), but going on these being compatible with the G5 I'm sure it's possible. Link to post Share on other sites
DrAlexanderTobacco Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 There's a video from Nugentgl where he shows that they are indeed compatible - However you have to pull the mag DOWN once you've inserted it, otherwise the bolt/loading nozzle will cut a chunk out of the gas routing bucking thing at the top.

emp3ror86 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 According to my operator sensei, one should pull the mag down either way to check if it is seated properly after reloading. Link to post Share on other sites
paranoiddroid Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 are g5 mags compatible with standard wa systems? Link to post Share on other sites

Surely fixing that's just a case of carefully filing/sanding away the inside of the tube until the capsules drop out on their own? Link to post Share on other sites
Bada Bing Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I heard of a mod where one could cut a small section of an aeg spring for the C02 tube which assists in the extraction. Never tried it myself but sounds like it'll work. Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 are g5 mags compatible with standard wa systems? They are - Depending on the receiver obviously. They require a little filing for a Vipertech, but they fit my Prime LMT receiver like a glove. Slightly snug and don't drop free, but they're nearly a perfect fit and they function fine. Can't comment on Ino's, but I imagine they'll work. I doubt they'd fit in the G&P Magpul lower though, that seems to be unusually tight even with G&P Pmags. Surely fixing that's just a case of carefully filing/sanding away the inside of the tube until the capsules drop out on their own? Unfortunately not - The width of the tube isn't the issue, it's the capsules getting stuck on the seal. You can wiggle the Co2 cap around inside the tube, but it won't come out without a hell of a lot of force. Still, GHK Gen1 Co2's are all but impossible to get hold of anyway these days, and I sold mine after getting fed up of them. I heard of a mod where one could cut a small section of an aeg spring for the C02 tube which assists in the extraction. Never tried it myself but sounds like it'll work. That's not a bad idea actually - Still, I'd much prefer to just wait for the Gen2's and pick some of those up instead, GHK don't tend to need more than a 2nd revision to work out kinks in most of their products so I'm quite hopeful for these!

Lone_Bullet Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hwagan, wouldn't a dab of silicone grease on the seal solve that? But even it it would, you'd still have to carry around silicone grease to dip your capsules in... Link to post Share on other sites

But even it it would, you'd still have to carry around silicone grease to dip your capsules in... I don't think so... The problem with mine seemed to be that the valve was roughly this shape: | | \__/ So it'd essentially barb the capsules when it pierced them. Could have been the brand of Co2 caps I was using I guess, but a friend of mine had the same issue with different branded capsules, so I'm not so sure.. Link to post Share on other sites
paranoiddroid Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I have an agm so will see maybe I have 6 mags here but a few leak. Link to post Share on other sites
BLZeebub Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I think the Gen 1 issue was the same as with their AK mags which they stopped doing aswell although they haven't replaced those. Link to post Share on other sites

DrAlexanderTobacco Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 http://www.youtube.com/embed/ruJGs9DqnEs New video. It's not exactly clear whether they're using CO2 or propane/green, but they seem to be improving it each time. Link to post Share on other sites
