So, when I put a mag into my G36 it only feeds two rounds and the third half feeds... Am I doing something wrong here?
I ordered Ares mid-caps but the mags say STAR on them.. Did they send me the wrong ones?

Star is Ares. I defer to Mav, or kdogg for your problem.

It is more than likely just a break in problem. Pretty much all midcaps need some silicone sprayed on the feed lip area. If you look at the top of the mag, there is a piece that slides which is attached to a spring. This holds the bbs in the mag, and retracts when you insert it in the gun because the bottom of the hop up pushes it out of the way. Only when this piece is retracted enough, will the gun feed.
On alot of new midcaps the piece needs some lube and good ol' full auto from your gun. This will get the piece sliding easier and the mag will feed better.
