Mp5 systema mag mod to run higher cap mags

[markiep]

Hi guys, looking for some advice input, does anyone out there know of any mods for a systema mp5 ptw so that I can but mid and high cap mags so that they still feed and can be used. At my whits end using 40 round mags for major firefights as 1 decent burst and you have to change.
Any input would be most appreciated

None that I am aware of when I had my TW5. Its a training weapon so just keep to single shot...

I used to go through about 8 mags a game - it was a pain but you ended up using it like a GBB smg.

Although I don't own one personally I've just had a look at a magazine strip down, and seeing as they feed from the front like aeg MP5 magazines, I cant see why you wouldnt be able to get clever with the internals of a regular magazine rigged up to match the feed lips of the training weapon mech. Obviously you'll lose your last round cut off, but you'll gain the capacity you want. Especially if you based it off one of those fake dual mag setups!

It would probably be a lot less hassle to just buy an AEG and put a high cap in it.

Whats that, a member of the AI staff recomending an AEG over a PTW, careful now, people have been fired for less.

I've never recommended anyone get a PTW

I've got a ptw and a scar aeg just prefer the ptw

I don't know of any exact instructions, as I doubt it has been done before. When I get to a computer later i'll link up a similar tutorial for making mp40 hicaps by transplanting the innards from a Marui uzi hicap into the mp40 outer, which should give you a good idea as to what you'll need and the techniques required.

Buying an aeg would be easier, but why on earth would you want to do the easy thing!

Never go the easy route lol

The issue you will have is spring tension. PTW mags are set up to run within very specific tolerances else the spring wont keep up with the cycle of the gun and you will start splitting BBs. Which could rapidly lead to a gearbox full of smashed up BBs and a broken gun.

I really wouldnt bother. Embrace what makes it different. Quite why anyone needs to lace off more than 40 BBs in one go is beyond me...

I personally think you'll run into more issues than its worth... PTWs aren't really designed for epic hosing. Just look at Celcius, you'll void your warranty on one of those if you let off a full auto burst over a second long!

The analogy that springs to mind is fitting off road tires on a formula 1 car.

to give yourself a bit more readily accessible ammo, why not pick up some mag clamps and piggyback them in pairs?

[markiep]

Good plan Ben didn't think on that one like that idea just get another box if mags and some mag clamps and jus use 3 shot bursts

The cylinder head/nozzle design of a TW doesn't suit itself to long bursts of fire anyway, as the O ring that retains the nozzle has a habit of coming a cropper if you really hose the gun.
