Pmags are Polymer and the mechanics of an airsoft mag are a lot different than real steel ones. Real steel mags are pretty simple compared to airsoft ones...
I've always like metal airsoft mags not because the insides are metal or anything but the shell around the whole thing is metal and they won't come apart like I've seen a few MAG brand mags do (that were unintentionally overloaded).
And as far as the single/double-stack mag thing I really don't know enough about regular AEG mags to tell you what kind of mag you could get for your particular gun that would be single or double-stacked. I honestly didn't think they made single stack mags apart from really low-cap 60 round Marui mags or something (which are metal btw. great mags). All I really know about these days is the PTW stuff.
Oh yeah and I don't think a little silicon, graphite whatever on your hop-up is too bad. After you fire a couple rounds that stuff usually seems to come off anyways and your hop is back to normal so don't get too worried about it.

Here's a nice shot of the G&G internals. I think I'm going with these for sure, now. First because they're single stack, so less jamming potential, and second, because the internals are clear, so if they do jam for any reason, I don't have to pull it apart completely and just guess where it went wrong, I can just pull the (metal) exterior off and see exactly what went wrong. I like it! :D

That'd be cool. I'll have to see if I can make this upcoming game. I'd rather have 60 bbs I know are going to feed than 130 that may or may not...

The Mag brand 100 rounders should be single stack. I am not 100% as I have never taken them apart. I have used and abused them and never had feeding issues so I am pretty sure they are.

Something else to remember. You don't want to store your mags full. Doing so wears out the spring so they don't push all the bbs out. Not trying to say that's the issue but just something to keep in mind.

I definitely try to watch that. I empty everything when I get home, and don't load up until the morning of.

I remember using your mags at a game when I was having trouble with my mags, and that's exactly why I'm planning to pick up a box of these. Stupid plastic MAGs.
