G36c magazines priced differently from TM and CA?
I was just looking at WGC and noticed this crazy little phenomenon:
Tokyo Marui low-cap magazine $25.50 Classic Army low-cap magazine $13.00 Can anyone tell me what's going on here? Are they the same magazine at all? Can they be used in either the TM G36c and CA G36c?

a friend of mine tried my CA mags in is TM gun...worked fine...
if you got a CA36, you better go with Ca mags (plastic color is more the same as your gun) |

Build quality, build location, shipping differences, the number that WGC bought at one time... etc. etc. etc.

So are they the same quality? Do either of you have experience with both?

Copies are often less expensive than the original as reverse engenering is always less expensive than R&D. But hell if they work fine in your gun why not.

I have both in stock !
And they are almost identical. the only difference is that the classic army, the clear plastic is darker so we don't see as good the fake bullet as we did with a TM. Exept that they are identical. Even the internal are the same. JF |

Yet again a much shittier deal with TM. I don't think the price difference is that big because of CA copying it. It looks like the usual TM rip off, you know, outragous price some hunk of plastic here or there.

Is it better to go with the CA or TM for a TM G36c?

The magazines perform exact the same at a lower cost.
Why spend more on something that does the exact same thing just as reliably? Active, I'd say go for the CA, fibre reinforced plastics, more durable gears, bit better colouring. |

And this is the case with everything airsoft yet people are too, well, some are dumb others just pumped with now BS TM promo. CA offers something exactly the same or FAR better for the same price, less or slightly more (either way it's still are far better deal) and yet you still have people ______enough to go off and spend an equal amount on a far lesser worth it TM hunk of plastic. (yes I realise both items here are plastic)

Well good thing I asked this question. $13 mags are sweet, and a nice break from $35 pistol mags from KSC. Christ those things get expensive when you import them.
