Product Information:
When I first got these, I was amazed. Every magazine worked perfectly, I accidentally dropped one on concrete while reloading it, and there was barely a mark on it. After test firing all of them at least 3 times, NONE of them miss-fed! However, when it came to using them in a game, things dramatically changed. The first 3 or 4 rounds, perfect. Just like had tested, just like I had hopped they would be. After the first few rounds, I found that I somehow "overloaded" one (I put maybe 115 bbs in TOPS) and the spring shot out the bottom where there is a screw on release (look carefully at the picture, you can barely make out a round looking indent). Now I put the TWO aside that do that, and still have 6 left, not bad. But eh 6 I have left, star misfiring! Not just one or two, but 4 out of the 6 left are now misfiring! Thankfully there was only one more round till we were leaving at that point (we did so many rounds cause it was CQB), so I had time to analyze the problems. It seems that all the magazines are now misfiring when I got back home, and I couldn't quite figure it out. I believe what happened for most if not all of them is the got too much dirt in them (what lead me to believe this is both springs that came out are dirty, plus the bbs I feed in then release has dust on them (which is VERY bad if it's feeding that into my gun)). Overall, This is how I would approach and conquer all of my problems.
1) Soak them in lube after every game, maybe even some time before.
2) Load 100 bbs in ONLY. It would be far better to have working magazines that hold less than broken ones.
3) Do your best to keep them off the ground in the woods. I can't tell you how many I dropped that day, and some got mud near where they feed into the gun, not good.

Btw, this is my gun and there is absolutely NO WOBBLING whatsoever!

Pros:
BEST price I have ever found
Very durable in terms of cracking
No misfeeds if you take care of them (Like I said I NEVER had a misfeed when testing them dozens of times)


Cons:
Any bit of dirt can seriously screw these mags
Bottom release pops out way too easily
Chance of overfeeding well before the estimated amount
Only a solid 100 bbs each mag (not that bad I guess, but I have only used them in a CQB game, so it was non-stop spraying, which was hard with 100 rounds a mag)
Chance of lemons (look at other reviews, something is up with these)

Overall I would not recommend these to most CQB/woods players, but if mid-cap is the only way for you I guess these could work for you. BUYER BE WARNED
