umm u dont need much care for them but all u really have to do is make sure u break them in by leaving bbs in them fora few hours and make sure u use good high grade bbs with the mag such as mauri excells AE, do not use cheap bbs they will not feed right and make the gun dryfire a lot

First off, from what i've heard, they require to be decently lubricated and kept moderately clean.
secondly, lean, you don't know what dry firing even is...
dry firing is firing your weapon without a magazine or ammunition inserted.
thirdly, leaving BB's in a magazine for a couple hours will by no means kill it. i've found one of my standards that i had filled after an M40 event one month afterwards still filled fully with BB's. they all shot out when i depressed the spring loaded switch.
Springs don't 'break' by constant pressure... they 'break' by repetition. the more it's compressed/decompressed, the less powerful it becomes.
Case in point: my grandfather has had his M1 Carbine since the Detroit Riots. he was a cop then, and the NRA came through and sold Carbines to the cops for 25 dollars each. i was cleaning out his stuff..and came across a carbine mag that has been loaded FOR OVER 35 YEARS. the spring was as strong as the new carbine mag i'd bought him at a gun show a couple months ago.

English! Type in English, bro. Your AIMspeak is making me nuts. It makes you sound like a hyper 12-year-old.

While a lot of people are loving thier G&P M16 midcaps, I on the other hand am having nothing but trouble. All three of my G&P magazines fail to feed even after extensive cleaning and relubing, the suckers just won't feed.
I've even tried just filling them half way, but even that gives me mixed results.
It really bothers me because when I first received them they worked like a charm, no feeding problems whatsoever, but now...ack, I'm really wishing I would have gone with some Marui standard magazines instead.
You might have better luck than me, so eh...give them a try. When they work they work great!

Ok i'll try use english now. Just for yu though. Well I think i'm just gong to buy some TM low cap then. I really dont want the trouble of having to fix loading problems with my mags all the time. Thanks for all the help. Oh, but I got one more question. How many mags do you guys usually bring with you to a game? I'm thinking about 7-8. Im loading up right now.

I like to pack 10 mp5 mags, totally 500 rounds (minus the 30 that drop out after you remove the mag). I also carry the most mags on my team, but since they're standards, it usually ends up being less ammo than a lot of people.

Ive had my G&P mags for about a month now, and i love em. Although i havent really had ample time to test them durability wise, i must say that at this point they feed like a charm, they are kind of a pain in the ass to load sometimes though, seem to get stuck quite a bit. Another thing i noticed that i really like that that unlike a TM or CA mag, when you drop the magazine out, you don't get those 3-4 excess BB's that just fall out  |

Yeah, the G&P mags are tough to load with a tube (I have the MP5 version). I'm soooo glad I got my hands on the new loader that comes with the sig 552  |

I love my G&P mags. Never had a problem with them. I bought 4 of them and all 4 work great, all I did was lube them when I first got them and they have been working great ever since. They were only hard to load when loading them for the first time. After that its no big deal. I always use a loading rod and they work fine. I use .2g bbs, I have read that if using heavier weight bbs such as .23 or .25 its possible to have misfeeds. Though most of these misfeeds ocurr when shooting semi auto. If you shoot full auto all the time, like I do then I suggest you get these mags instead of marui standards.
