But now that you mention it, surely some of those ideas (e.g. manual thumbwheel "tension recharger") could be used to make a hi-cap RIVAL mag work, too... Hmmm, I believe the reason hi-cap mags even exist in the first place is to make a hopper-like magazine but at the same time allowing it to feed BBs upwards, so that they are compatible with their airsoft weapons that take mid-cap mags. I'm not sure what the purpose would be if we made a RIVAL hi-cap mag, since we might as well just make a hopper fed blaster. But I don't even play airsoft, I just saw a diagram of hi-cap vs mid-cap magazine internals once.

Unless we would make one that is compatible with blasters like the Apollo, with mags that you just dump rounds into like a hopper, but with a thumbwheel that has enough tension to feed rounds upwards into the Apollo's magwell. I think that would be a valid use.
