The appeal of a four-hundred-round magazine is simple arithmetic. It is most of a box of BBs in one unit, and for a defensive position or a support gun it removes reloading from the list of things you have to think about.
What makes this one worth a second look is the fitment. Alongside the M4 and M16 series, CYMA name PJ, SRC, Boyi and APS replicas as platforms it fits. Hi-caps are often fussier than mid-caps about which magwell they will sit in, so a magazine with a published list of compatible brands is genuinely more useful than one sold as simply standard.
Beyond that it behaves like any winding hi-cap. Fill it, wind the wheel, and keep winding through the game as the stack feeds down.

Good to know
Three things CYMA ask of this magazine: a little silicone oil through it before the first game, more oil at intervals after that, and no BBs left inside it in storage. Hi-caps are mechanical in a way mid-caps are not, and those three habits are most of what keeps one working.
CYMA do not publish the shell material for this magazine, so we are not going to tell you what it is. If that matters to your choice, our 320-round listing is confirmed by CYMA as a steel shell.
Frequently asked questions
What does it fit? M4 and M16 series AEGs, and CYMA additionally name PJ, SRC, Boyi and APS replicas as compatible platforms.
Is this a mid-cap or a hi-cap? A hi-cap. There is a winding wheel on the base and the BBs are held loose in the body rather than in a stack under spring pressure.
Is the shell steel? CYMA do not say, so neither will we. Our 320-round CYMA magazine is confirmed as steel if that is the deciding factor.
Do I need to wind it during a game? Yes, periodically. That is how every winding hi-cap works, and it is the trade for the capacity.
