Info About Airsoft Gun Mags
These magazines usually connect to the airsoft gun very similarly to the genuine weapons they are designed after. The types of airsoft gun mags include real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags.
Information on Airsoft Gun Mag Types
Airsoft weapon magazines are made in several styles like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines. These styles frequently relate to AEG magazines for automatic electric guns. Real capacity magazines, or real-caps, simulate the total of airsoft BBs a genuine weapon would keep in live ammo, which is typically about 24 to 30 airsoft BBs. Mid capability magazines, or mid-caps, permit more airsoft BB space with capacities about 120 to 160 BBs. High capacity mags, or high-caps, offer airsoft players the greatest storage with over 200 rounds of BB storage capacity. Something to keep in mind about high-cap mags is that airsoft fields often prohibit their usage due to players using way too much ammo to spray-and-pray throughout gameplay.
How Airsoft Mags Work
Airsoft mags have a series of internal channels and BB storage spots. The BBs are usually packed into these channels with a spring attached to the extremely far end. When the BBs are loaded, they compress the spring creating tension. On the load end, a small lock holds the BBs in the mag. When a BB is fired, the airsoft weapon launches the latch for an instant and loads another BB into the gun out of the mag. CO2, HPA, and GBB guns, which use compressed air or green gas, will often store the gas or feed air in through the mag. This feeds BBs into the guns for these kinds of systems.
Info Airsoft Rifle Mags
Airsoft rifle magazines are most typically used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. Find out how airsoft guns work. The magazines are particular to the type of AEG rifle and all of the types of that rifle are cross-compatible with the mags. The AEG mags are placed into the weapon’s magazine well.
Did You Know?
Some airsoft AEG guns and squad machine guns use very large capacity magazines. They can carry up to thousands of airsoft BBs and provide massive amounts of suppressive fire for a squad or fireteam.
Airsoft SMG Magazines Details
Airsoft SMG mags AEG are also separated by weapon model and usable in between various submachine guns. These SMG mags also come in real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity variations with BB storage capacities varying from around 24 airsoft BBs with real capacity mags to over 200 BBs with high capacity mags. Rifle Magazines for Green Gas and HPA Systems Green gas rifles (consisting of GBB variations) and weapons powered by high pressure air (HPA) often have their own custom-made design depending on the airsoft weapon brand. These mags use air and gas to work so the mags often feature builtin gas storage areas or are pre-tapped for HPA tank connections. The mags used in GBB guns store gas in the magazine so the rifle cycles every shot and feeds in the next BB. HPA pre-tapped magazines use HPA lines which are hooked up to the valves and help the pressurized air to stream in through the mag. This setup feeds the airsoft BBs into the HPA weapon.
Airsoft Handgun Magazines
When compared to the AEG mags used in smgs and rifles, Airsoft handgun mags are typically less versatile. Pistols mags vary by type and frequently use CO2 or green gas (propane) housed in the magazine. The magazine is placed into the pistol’s grip like the standard firearm style. Pistol magazines are often interchangeable in between comparable models of the very same airsoft weapon maker, but are often not cross-brand compatible unless they are particularly designed for that function. Understanding the specific styles and types of airsoft pistols can give you more insight to how their magazines function. Most airsoft handgun mags keep around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
