The General Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Standard caps and low caps, can't see the point. In game terms a single bb in no way equals the effect of a single round from a real gun. The guns are no where near as capable etc. I think a factor of 5 to 1 equates to a fair balance. 30 rounds in a real mag? 150 in a bb mag. That is fair. So for me the ideal in an average aeg is 130-170 round mid caps. I generally use hicaps though as they are cheaper and I don't go mental. Having 90-100 round mids for something like an AK (I have 4-5 of these knocking around) quickly got annoying when everyone else was using hicaps. Not so bad for an MP5 but when its a massive mag like an AK... a bit silly really. Link to post Share on other sites
druid799 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 mids for me ( apart from the odd game when i feel very lazy and play with bugger all gear and just an M4 pistol and 2 hi-caps ! ) , i also follow 3-5 bbs for one real shot , works for me . Link to post Share on other sites
Voodoo1 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I've always prefered the ammo advantage of Hi-caps - more ammo in less magazines... i only started to use lowcaps recently, after buying the TMP/MP9, so essentially forced into it. It hasn't changed my overall opinion, but do think now that its not as much of a disadvantage. it's not how many rounds you're carrying though, but how many you shoot and how many actually hit...

hwagan Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Highcaps in summer, because i don't wear a vest and i can carry less. Midcaps in winter when the vest comes back. I always carry a highcap with me though, as my site tends to have a fair few n00bs of steel... 300 rounds at a 12 year old rental monkey usually registers a hit when 1 doesn't Link to post Share on other sites
Moofner Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Went the ol Midcap route as I enjoy filmsim games the most. Hi-caps usually aren't allowed, and there is something fun about planning your next mag change. Link to post Share on other sites
L4byr1nth Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I kinda use everything. Locaps in my WE M16A3, midcaps in my TM VSR 10 Pro Sniper (+ pistols, I guess?), and highcaps in my AEG's. Ben. Link to post Share on other sites
Stealthbomber Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I only like real caps when everyone else is using them too ... otherwise I find it kinda sucks. Indeed. As I always say when this topic comes up, if I won the lottery I'd like to buy a crate of realcaps for everybody at my local site so we could play some limited ammo games. As others have said, I do enjoy reloading during games but I don't enjoy putting myself at a disadvantage to everybody else so I wouldn't use them unless everybody else is. To answer a question the OP asked back on page one; Yes. Lowcaps do feed better than midcaps. Link to post Share on other sites

Moofner Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Real caps would definatly change the spray and pray tactics to skill semi auto crackshots.... Although my life as a support gunner would not be as fulfilling then, especially as I don't have semi. Link to post Share on other sites
newcomer Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Low/mid caps, but alot of them don't or refuse to see the advantage of that. Link to post Share on other sites
Sharamik Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Depends on which AEG I'm using. When I'm using the Mp5, I use midcaps as they carry 100 bbs in a small mag, and the highcaps only carry 200, so the downsides of a high cap outweigh the advantages: it's far better to carry 2 mids instead of 1 highcap. I carry 7 mids onto the field. With the AK, I use highcaps, because as the general said having something as bulky as an AK mag only holding 100bbs is just impractical. A single AK highcap holds 6 midcaps worth of ammo. I carry 2 high caps onto the field: 12 mids would be silly. Link to post Share on other sites

I carry 10 standard caps as opposed to 1 hicap and I don't really find it silly (well, maybe a little bit xD), but I guess it is up to personal preference also, I do acknowledge that m4 mags are MUCH smaller than AK mags, but that's what 7.62mm ammo pouches are for Link to post Share on other sites

uscmCorps Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Real caps would definatly change the spray and pray tactics to skill semi auto crackshots.... Although my life as a support gunner would not be as fulfilling then, especially as I don't have semi. The way we play is that everyone except SAW gunners are allowed LoCaps/Standards/MiCaps. Only the SAW gunners are allowed box mags, but the SAW guns must be a legitimate SAW type (like a M249, M60, M240, Shrike, RPK, PKM, etc variant), and you're limited to 1 to 2 SAWs per squad (depends on the scenario). That way SAWs become an integral part of the Platoon doing large volume suppressive fire when you need it and mowing down large groups of enemy when the opportunity presents itself. Makes the game more interesting and more realistic. Otherwise if everyone has hicaps, then everyone can essentially be a SAW gunner. Playing with just Standards, there have been countless times in which one of our SAWs have saved our bacon. Link to post Share on other sites
trip Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Totally agreed with uscmCorps on this, Games with ammo limits and a total ban on hi caps unless you have the disadvantage of a heavy support gun are far more enjoyable for me Link to post Share on other sites
calimero Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 low caps !! same as you .. high caps kill the fun... a single MP5 can stop a whole squad just by firing continuously during 15 minutes, just like playing unreal tournament with cheatcodes Link to post Share on other sites

Last time I checked, an MP5 hicap only has around 25% more BBs than an MP5 midcap. Link to post Share on other sites

Schultz98 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I normaly run with 10 midcaps in my chestrig, I would try out realcaps if they made 74 style realcaps Link to post Share on other sites

If I was in a regular rifleman role I probably wouldn't mind as much. One of our team has an M14 and uses 10 mids and gets on fine in his role. And you can't fire 'continously for 15 minutes' or indeed continuously at all with high-caps, because you have to wind the mag! You can spray and pray with any magazine type.

Sharamik Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 The MP5 midcaps I have will hold around 150 BBs. Where did you get them Stealth? I can only find ones that are around the 100 mark. Link to post Share on other sites
Lajjvo Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Midcap all the way. Can't stand highcaps. They rattle, dont feed when you want to and you have to wind them up all the time. That and the fact that highcaps are hated on almost all sites in Sweden. Link to post Share on other sites
