Hey guys again, i'm here again to ask more questions on airsoft. I was planning to make a homemade LPEG, i would go hire but, to expensive, but i don't want to be stuck with using a straight magazine clip to feed my ammo which only hasl ike 20 rounds in it,
Could someone please tell me how a High-capacity magazine works for airsoft, because I want more rounds in my gun. I'm trying to keep this project under 40 dollars... which is about the cost of a entry level AEG. I would buy one but I live in Aussie land  .
Was going to get my materials from a hobby store and putting it in a toy gun for the looks. |

| the way mine works is that it has a 25 "clip"area and aboput another 300 in a storage area and you use the first 25 then scroll the bottom and it loads 25 more |

Well, to be quite honest, i have investigated throughoughly in the mechanics of a hicap, and its probobably better to just buy a hicap magazine for airsoft and modify it for your uses.
if you want, i can find an animation or something, but the ability to construct one of these out of household parts is little to none.......... |

Yes please, could you show me the internals of a Hi-Cap airsoft magazine + i live in australia it's not possible for me to import any sort of magazine XS...
The answer to adjevi92...
i'm going to use a plunger + piston chamber with teeth on the plunger part. and i've thought of ways for bb to not fall out...
the mats i'm probs going to get is
$10 - 12V gear box (from RC stores)
$5 - 7cm length 1.5cm diametre spring
$6 - Toy MP5 Navy (not to scale)
$1 - O- Rings
$3 - Piston chamber
$5 - aluminium tube
$1 - Pen spring (for spring magazine)
$2 - (some sort of 6mm tube that can be bendy)
$10 - aluminium gears
$2 - Battery holder
Total - $43'ish lol couldn't be bothered counting properly
Those are the materials i need at the moment, although i'm going to working one ant's air gun first... but if i can get the LPEG working... best weapon ever for skirmishing with friends... |
