Matrix 5000rd Manual Winding Drum Magazine for M4 Airsoft AEG Rifles

"Really enjoy the magazine, cheap, isnt $75 like the others. I dont mind winding but it feeds well, would recommend!

"These work great. And for the price your getting almost 3 of the matrix 1000 in one for almost half price. Mag has a top and bottom that you access with a knob to open and close. Empty the top, turn the knob and tilt the mag to fill top again. I have 2 and they both work great. Fit all my m4s. Stick a little when taking it off a kwa m4a1 but other then that easy on and off.

"Great mag turned my m4 into a lmg feeds good even with a 11.1v Lipo on full auto just keep winding while shooting using it as a bipod cuts down enemies like a Hitler's buzzsaw plus works good in a game of jugganaught and fits of most people's guns that run m4 mags

"This mag is great. I got it and used it for the first time today. more light weight than you think. definite buy. only down side is, is that it rattles and takes a long time to fill but once you fill it, it will last you days of playing depending on the type of player you are. Buy it

"i have used this and this mag is amazing for the price. As an added bonus if you dont have a SCAR grenade launcher attached a SCAR it will fit in a Dboys SCAR.

"Got this for my m4 great quality and nice number of rounds you can sling over all 5/5

"Pros:
-high capacity (5000!)
-rarely jams
-two chambers
-ability to make friends envy you
-ability to turn a AEG into a S.A.W
-makes you laugh at the thought of "reloading"

Cons:
-loud (just walk in a non-bouncy manner)
-only black (just spray paint for camo)

Got with my m4 i have this and three other 300 hi-caps and it makes me sad just watching them sit in my room as i go to use this and this only to win wars.A must buy. It basically gives you a lighter LMG.

"Awesome drum mag! Don't waste money on the electric one, its really easy to add a key to this. With my homemade key it takes me about 10 seconds to wind it up from nothing. I had no real problem with rattling and it makes your gun look awesome. Also, if you have a really bad rattling problem you can take it apart and pad the inside with thin cloth, this will effectively remove rattling but it takes forever to do.

"Very good mag overall.

Pros-
Lots of ammo
sticks out on right side of mag well instead of left so it does not impede your firing stance
looks cool
also works as a rest for holding a position, sort of like a bipod

Cons-
Noisy
somewhat heavy
only comes in black
you have to turn mag upside down due to design, the upper well holds 2,000 rounds, and the lower well 3,000 so after you fire the first 2,000 rounds you have to invert the mag to let the rounds in the lower well empty into the upper well then you're good to go ; )

You can fix the noise by walking and running diffrently, not as bouncy. Also is more realistic, because the way that you have to walk in a firing stance to make the mag silent is the same way soldiers and swat teams walk in order to keep rifle from "bouncing" and to increase accuracy, also known as "groucho walk." The weight isn't that bad at all. all I did for camouflage was completly cover the mag in the camo wrap tape, the stuff that sticks to itself. I then super glued down the edges of the tape to keep tape from shifting, then filed down the rough superglued edges with finger nail files so the tape is soft. I would highly recommend this mag to anyone that is a dedicated airsofter.

"This thing is beast! I use it in my M4 and it totally owns everyone! its good to have if you wanna be a support gunner/rifleman I would highly reccomend this to anyone looking for a box mag! also the winder is very easy to move not stiff one bit

"I own one of these and I love it. If you are playing a lot of open field stuff and are trigger happy (I am) than it is a great mag for the money. I have filled and emptied it without any issues.

"this magazine is excellent. I have it on my jg s system. the mag place were you pop the mag in is big so ordinary mags wobble around. not this mag. I bought the auto wind of airslat and its 20 dolarrs more than the manual winder. I laugh when my friends tear the fingers aopart winding while i flip a switch. its heavy though when full. i keep it with.28 so its to heavy for comfort. i would recomend foregrip and bipod because the weight is a problem. if you get a lipo gearbox your shooting a saw pretty much for a fraction of the price. good product

"I bought one of these and it is bad ass, 5000rd and not a bad price well worth the money

"Previous claims about this thing's size a bit... high-flung. A computer monitor? I feel sorry for you if yours has an 8-inch screen. It is fairly big, but it's also a box mag. They don't make them all that small, and bearing that in mind I think the A&K is actually a fine specimen as long as you're a right-handed shooter. It puts most of its mass directly beneath and to the right side, and maintains a surprisingly sleek profile, even if it hangs lower than many other models. That, and it has one of the highest capacities for an airsoft box mag you will ever find, if not THE highest. As for looking like a fool, that's a matter of opinion. If you think someone coming up a hill with this looks dumb, then his aim is crappy or you're the dumb one because you shouldn't be worried about how your opponent looks while he's shooting at you, especially if it doesn't appear he'll be stopping any time soon.

Now, 5000 BBs makes a hefty addition to any AEG. If your gun is decent, you're probably using .20g BBs. If we assume you're carrying that exact amount of ammo in the drum, that's an extra 2 pounds and some change. With .25s, 2 and 3/4 pounds. Doesn't sound like much, but as a concentrated weight hanging under a 6-12 pound weapon (leaving room for materials and accessories) it's more than noticeable.

If you're looking for a box mag, my guess is that you're a rifleman looking to go light-support without buying an M249 and still retaining the option of converting back, which is a fair motive. Or, you're too lazy to change magazines. I was a bit of both when I bought the A&K box, to be perfectly honest, though more of the former. Either way, this is a good product.

However, be careful if you decide to get the electric version. When I did, it quit feeding half way through the first day of playing. The feed spring just crapped out, as if it had been over-wound continuously the entire time, and of course it hadn't been.

"This magazine windes like a giant hi-cap. It is a bit easier to use than the electric version if you don't mind winding. Or else, get the electric one for $25 more. But, make sure it has fresh battery before your game if you decide to go with the electric one. Running out of battery in the middle of the game with no where to put this can be a bit of an issue.
