kagami Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 not much to say at the moment, I don't do WE so it's not of much interest to me but I know a lot of other people are. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hmmm... isn't one of the mags facing the wrong way? If I see correctly both mags are ammo up, with an offset on one magasine. That's not right, is it? It would interfere with the lower reciever if you tried to load the other magazine in, if this was real.... Derp. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Don't see why it shouldn't work that way. Also it says 80 rounds now whereas it was stated as holding only 70 when it was still a prototype. Maybe they do listen to Facebook comments. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Perhaps it is designed that way to get a correct feed from the mech? Though from what I recall when using mag clamps the mags should be at the same height, not offset like this. Saying that if the mag clamp is rather low and the mag is nice and high it might interfere with the ejection port (highly unlikely but still possible). Though 80rds isn't that bad, the fact it will not really fit in most pouches is a bit annoying for those that would want to get one. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I think the mag is offset so it wouldn't interfere with the ejection port. When they're level it should allow ejection just fine, but the top of the right mag will block the way of the dust cover if it was closed before loading and firing. With the right mag positioned lower, it makes enough clearance for the dust cover. When the shorter mag is inserted the left mag is higher and doesn't really interfere with anything except maybe if you have one of those ambidextrous mag release levers with a particularly large button or a BAD bolt release lever.

FireKnife Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I must admit I am speaking more from the MP5 ones which wouldn't have such issues as they have no dust cover system and the bolt is above the fore-end. On a M4 it makes sense but I can still seeing these being a bit of an issue regarding stowage. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Yeah, not many pouches for this one. Only practical way I can think of is starting with the double mag and stays in a dump pouch as you course through the rest of your regular mags. Link to post Share on other sites
Mikhailthejackal Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Doesnt look wide or low enough to negate the stock catch thats just below the ejection port on the pdw, hope it works out though, at least it makes a gbbr more skirmishable. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 That's the right way to do it, if you tape them so that one is upside-down the top of the upside-down one gets full of mud and sand when you go prone. Link to post Share on other sites
OriginUK Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Well it'll be a good first for WE, if it's 80 rounds thats a big bonus. Shame they couldn't do it with a single mag, but at least they've put dummy bullets in the 2nd to keep it looking as good as poss Link to post Share on other sites

NonEx Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Alright, my mistake then I don't bother with dual clamped mags anyways, not managable in pouches n shiz. Link to post Share on other sites
jkpics Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 40 Rounder, hmmm that would not be hard to do, just need the shell and a new CNC'ed bottom part of the V2 magasin and a longer BB spring. Link to post Share on other sites

NonEx Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Now that would be something Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I almost feel that one of the testicles of the beta c mag is big enough to fit the smallest HPA tank in there.. Link to post Share on other sites
ShinSeiki Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 If they are not too expensive its a good way to get started with a WE GBBR, get the gun and one of these and you are set, maybe getting a couple of v2's somewhere down the line. That way you can always start off with the double mag and use the normal mags in their usual pouches. Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Waiting for a C Beta for the G36. My WE MG36 have been waiting for this for some time now. Link to post Share on other sites
NightFury Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 What if they made a universal c-mag? Like the all the mags would be the same and all they'd need is a specific adpater for which ever gun you're using. You'd attach the adapter by replacing the feeding lip and gas route. Then if you want to use it for another gun one day yoi could just unscrew that adapter and screw on the new one. I believe all of WE's GBBR mags hace feed lips that are just screwed in at the top so I think this is very doable. Except for maybe the MP7. Those mags have the feed lips pinned in.

Brigg Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I doubt It would be feasible to have something like that work between a rifle and Mp7 due to the difference in dimensions. But it would probably be doable between M4 and G36 mags. Though I doubt they would actually do it. Either way if they did make a Beta C magazine just for the M4 then that would work with the majority of WE's rifles anyway. I wouldnt hold my breath though, since the clamped mag was shown something like 2 years ago and is just being talked about again now. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Perhaps the feed lips are screwed in to make them easier to replace and maintain? It would be an idea but perhaps there is also a "make them different to sell more" too? Hard to tell but it is a good idea nonetheless. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
NightFury Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 With all the stuff WE is working on, they should have enough to sell. I would rather see a C-mag than clamped mags though. We may be able to play support roles with GBBRs now. Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Unless the cmag has a massive gas cap with many many expansion chambers then still would have to use HPA. Link to post Share on other sites
NightFury Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I don't see why it wouldn't. If WE's going to make something big, they might as well utilize all available space. Surely, they realize what it needs to function properly at this point with their many years experience in the GBB realm. Link to post Share on other sites
