Question guys: I'm working on my own "magazine" for the g&g g980, from what I remember of my tanaka, this will also work in the tanaka clones with some extremely minor modifications (eg: tightening a bolt so the hammer extends farther, ect) The purpose of this is several fold -increase accuracy with an internalized gas system -allow easier external tapping and the big one -allow aeg-AEP magazine "strips" to be used in the gun The current plan is that you pull down the magazine follower and press it to one side (like a WE or other pistol mag) then insert the AEP magazine into the open bolt of the gun, there will be a little internal nozzle that will dump the contents of that magazine into the follower path, you then click the follower in and it acts normally. It has a number of advantages, largely that you dont need to keep buying or swapping magazines, a single affixed mag with external gas has virtually unlimited capacity. The downside is with the internalized gas system (instead of the hammer pressing directly on a valve, its a valve system that activates pneumatically which dramatically increases accuracy) its a little large, it will look like a k98 with a trench magazine instead of a more standard kar98: i0.wp.com/ww2-weapons.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Kar98k-03-px800.jpg?fit=900%2C9999Is there any interest for this? It will be probably $100+ easily as it will be machined by myself out of solid aluminium and I wouldnt plan on making too many.

I don't en tirely understand the purpose of this expensive undertaking. I believe brownien posted a way to modify the speedloader itself so you could use that on open bolt bolties. I used that and it works fine on the pps k98 and g&g 1903.

Well no but you are saying it's going to
1: cost us 100 or so dollars to buy from you
2: The magazine will somehow increase accuracy?
I don't understand the second part, I can see it being consistent in gas flow but I doubt that it will increase the accuracy that much. Besides, I am usually at ranges where I don't need to shoot that accurate, I am against full autos, I have to play smarter.

Stuka is completely right here. $100 for something that can be done with a speedloader and a bit of adhesive and elbow grease (cost is zero, unless you have to buy a file, adhesive, and a speedloader).
Also, magazines, no matter how the BB loads, don't affect FPS or accuracy. Thats all in the compression.
Last note? What's a DMR? Are you referring to the only actual live steel "DMR," the M14 DMR: "Designated Marksman Weapon". Its a US Navy SEAL weapon thats a modernized version of the M14, still chambered in NATO 7.62mm. The Marines refer to it as the M14 EMR: "Enhanced Marksman Rifle". If I'm not mistaken, the ARSOC refers to it as the M21.
DMR is the most misused term in all of airsofting. Accuracy mods do not turn your guns into "DMR's". Milsimmers love this "DMR" term, but wait a second... If they want to simulate military, but blatantly misuse terms and designations, then how can they be simulating military?

Well to be fair, it's an attempt to simulate real life to the best of their abilities, people get stuff wrong all the time. We don't need to be mean about this I just don't understand, if you had like an example awesome but I am no engineer, I seriously want to understand.
People have already made modification to allow external connections for the unlimited gas supply. I will say that I like trench mag looks but that was really only a ww1 thing.
If it adds more bbs and holds more gas, awesome but the rest feels gimmicky to be honest.

2: The magazine will somehow increase accuracy? reducing turbulence in the firing system and removing reliance on perfectly consistent friction/spring tension between a half dozen parts and magazine placement (it has a few thou of wobble at least) are significant accuracy gains.
