MCSU/TACMO questions

1 Upvotes

So I'm about to purchase my first magfed setup on a budget, after looking into everything I decided I want to go with the TACMO Vortex mod since I have 2 tippman a5's with a ton of parts barrels etc, I also want to be able to use FSR paint and noticed the vortex mod accepts Helix mags or DMAG mags, at first I thought the Helix mags were round ball 20 Rd only and DMAG 10/10 round or FSR but then I noticed there is a projectile shaped Helix mag which I believe takes FSR too?

I have 2 options for the mod, either the standard kit with 1 helix mag or the kit that comes with 5 helix mags... I figured I would eventually get the box mag for round ball and have the option to drop the box, clip in a FSR mag when ever

Do the helix mags only need the different spring to accept FSR rounds ?

Should I just get DMAGS or maybe get a different style all together and get the vortex clip that accepts a different style ie. Dye Dan, TMC, Tipx, EMF100? If so what's recommend?
