boris the pict Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Ok so i was chatting on another unnamed forum, and i got slammed because i was yaking about using real caps. This complete fish cake then produces a tirade against me using jargon that no one else uses and what the cooking fat did i mean by real caps anyway. so um am I being mental in thinking that every one will instinctively get what it means? or is s/he just being a little silly.

1st Commando Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 locap = low capacity hicap = high capacity midcap = mid capacity realcap = real capacity hardly seems like brain surgery to me Link to post Share on other sites

thewallhitme Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 s/he? do not talk to girls about airsoft unless they are skirmishers. it does not work... evar. Link to post Share on other sites
Royal-Air-Force Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Had to read 1st Commandos reply to get what you were on about. Don't rely on instincts and subtle hints over the internet. Doesn't work. Anyway, as for mags, take of the "cap/ caps" off the word and your about there with what they hold. E.g. "Lowcap" = Low capacity. Link to post Share on other sites
The Suppressor Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 It's pretty self-explanitary, and has been a term used since 30rnd mags replaced (as the lowest capacity available) the 90rnd you got as standard with guns. I believe it was STAR who introduced this idea, or atleast put it into a marketable product, introducing themselves to the Airsoft market with their very first products being plastic 30rnd mags, and thus being the origin behind their name STAR REVOLUTION. The Revolution was real caps. Link to post Share on other sites
stuie Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I've never seen them referred to as anything other than real caps. Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 To be fair, what else would you call them? "accurate caps"? "milsim caps"? Surely, anyone with more than 2 brain cells to rub together can figure out what "real cap" means, especially in a topic of conversation involving airsoft magazines, even if they're not a skirmisher themselves. BTW - like your "swear words" Link to post Share on other sites

The best part is trying to figure out what the substitution is. Maybe you could send a list to Marlowe for the next time he updates the swear filter on here. Link to post Share on other sites
