not gonna complain too much, be a great time to make sure my guns are up to snuff

[alpha11]

Still no problems with me.

I know that the rules state that it is eithor 1 high cap or as many mid cap, but I will be bringing a MP-5 with me this year, and the high caps only carry 200 rounds. Can the person who uses it carry more then one high cap, since I only have high caps at this time.

[Rekkon]

I am going to say no. The magazine restrictions were set up partly to force players to weigh the costs and benefits of each option. A high cap gives you more sustained firepower, but leaves you very vulnerable while reloading because it is your only mag. The ammunition count was never a primary concern. In the past I have had people ask if they could use two M4 300-round high caps because the AK high caps held 600, and I told them no. Even a 200 round high caps gives you the potential for more sustained fire than most mid caps, and if I allow you to carry two it negates the primary drawback of using a high cap.

I do not know about their quality, but a few companies make larger capacity MP5 high caps that look like two regular mags clamped together. Another option would be to find someone willing to loan you some MP5 midcaps for the event. There are probably enough of them floating around.

I will be at drill that weekend....the way they have been changing drill dates I may still be able to get there yet.

Fair enough. I will abide by your ruling. If things change between now and the game, I'll try to get some mid caps. Unless someone is willing to lone me some for the game?

Unfortunately no day works for everyone. I have a few more checks to make, but for now May 18th is the "soft date." I am also waiting for the Motocross club to have their pre-season meeting. There again exists the possibility that they will not lease the field.

[woogie]

What kind of mags do you need alpha? I have 10 Magpul low caps that you may be able to use if I can't make it to the game.

[alpha11]

Thanks for the offer, but, if its not mid caps, I just don't think they are worth to have. I'll just stick to hi-caps for now.

[alpha11]

Just wandering when the motor cross will be meeting.

[Rekkon]

You should be careful about wandering off. Have you seen the weather?

All I know is that the Motocross club meeting should be sometime this month. My contact said May is typically a busy month for them, so we will have to see what happens. Might have to push things to July.

[alpha11]

Well, if push comes to shuve, we could go for early fall.

[sawdy09]

Go august and I should be able to be in...

[woogie]

I am liking all of these push backs to be honest That means I am closer and closer to playing this year for a change!

[alpha11]

Well, if we can have more people for a latter date, I'm all for it.
