How are you loading the BBs? Hicaps don't load like standard mags do, so if you're trying to use a loading tube/rod to get BBs in, you're doing it wrong. There should be a door on the top of the mag, behind the hole where BBs exit. Flip open the door, dump in your BBs, then wind the wheel. You'll want to give it a fair amount of winds, at least until you can notice a difference in the feel of the winding wheel. After that, you should be able to load the mag into your gun and blast away. You can also load the mag into your gun before you wind the hicap if you wanted to...

What other hicaps are there? For gas pistols/rifles, there's not usually a hicap in the same way there are for AEGs. You can sometimes use extended mags, such as the 50 round KSC Glock magazine that fits all the KSC Glocks, but it's not similar at all to how AEG hicaps load and work. I can't speak for any springer hicaps that might exist, since I'm more of an AEG/GBB man myself.
