Description
M4 Hi-Cap Flash Mag 480 Rounds (Tan)
This tan high-capacity magazine holds 480 rounds and is made for M4/M16-pattern electric rifles, the most common type of AEG. It gives you plenty of shots between reloads, which is ideal for long games, holding a position or supporting your team, and the tan finish suits desert, coyote and multicam-style kit.
We also stock ‘Flash Mag’ hi-caps in other capacities and colours, so you can choose the size that suits the way you play. A 480-round magazine is a popular choice for players who want to carry fewer magazines without running dry mid-game.
How a hi-cap magazine works
A hi-cap stores BBs loose in an internal reservoir. After filling, you wind the wheel on the base, which tensions a spring that pushes BBs up to the feed lips. When the rifle starts to slow or misfeed during a long burst, give the wheel a few more turns to restore the feed.
Because the BBs move freely inside, hi-caps can rattle when you move. Winding the magazine fully and avoiding overfilling keeps noise to a minimum, which is useful when you are trying to stay hidden.
Loading tips
Open the loading door on the top of the magazine, pour in BBs with a speed loader or a BB bottle, then close the door firmly before winding. Load only clean, seamless BBs, and keep a small bottle of spares in a pouch for quick top-ups between games.

Compatibility
This magazine is made for M4/M16-pattern AEGs, which use the standard M4 AEG magazine well. It is not suitable for gas blowback rifles or for recoil-type (Next Generation) rifles that need their own magazines.
Magazine fit can vary slightly between makers, so try the magazine in your rifle before relying on it in a game, and ask us if you are unsure.
Care and maintenance
Empty the magazine after each game day so the feed spring is not left wound under tension, and store it dry. Only use clean, seamless BBs; dirty or damaged BBs are the main cause of feeding problems.
If the feed becomes unreliable, check the feed lips and follower for grit and wipe them clean. Do not force the winding wheel if it is stiff, and avoid dropping the magazine on hard surfaces, which can damage the feed lips.
Who is it for?
This magazine suits M4/M16 AEG owners who want a high-capacity option for long games, support roles or simply fewer reloads.
Please note: The rifle and BBs are not included. Always wear suitable eye and face protection when using airsoft replicas.
