Airsoft Gun Magazine Product Features
Airsoft Gun Mags Info
Airsoft guns shoot airsoft BBs. These BBs are generally stored in the gun’s magazine. These mags usually attach to the airsoft gun very similarly to the real weapons they are designed after. The types of airsoft weapon mags include real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines.
Info on Airsoft Gun Magazine Types
Airsoft gun magazines are available in a handful of styles like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines. These types frequently involve AEG mags for automatic electric guns. Real capacity mags, or real-caps, mimic the amount of airsoft BBs a real weapon would keep, which is usually about 24 to 30 BBs. Mid capability mags, or mid-caps, allow for more airsoft BB storage with capacities about 120 to 160 BBs. High capacity mags, or high-caps, give airsoft gamers the most storage space with over 200 rounds of BB storage volume. Something to note about high-cap mags is that airsoft fields often prohibit their use because of players shooting too much ammo to spray-and-pray during gameplay.
Airsoft Mag Functionality Info
Airsoft magazines have a series of internal channels and BB storage areas. The BBs are generally packed into these channels with a spring attached to the really far end. When the BBs are filled, they compress the spring creating tension. On the load end, a small latch holds the BBs in the magazine. When a BB is fired, the airsoft weapon releases the latch for a fraction of a second and loads another BB into the gun out of the mag. CO2, GBB, and HPA weapons, which use compressed air or green gas, will frequently keep the gas or feed air in through the mag. This feeds BBs into the guns for these kinds of systems.
Info Airsoft Rifle Magazines
Airsoft rifle mags are most typically used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. Find out how airsoft AEGs work. The mags are particular to the type of AEG rifle and all of the types of that rifle are cross-compatible with the magazines. The AEG magazines are placed into the gun’s magazine well.
Did You Know?
Some airsoft AEG guns and light machine guns, or LMGs, use high capacity box magazines. They can carry up to 1000s of BBs and provide fire support for a unit or fireteam during battlefield engagements.
About Airsoft SMG Mags
Airsoft SMG mags AEG are also separated by weapon design and usable between different submachine guns. Hecker and Koch H&K MP5 AEG magazines are made to operate in different MP5s like the MP5K or MP5SD. P90, KRISS Vector, and TMP AEG mags are constructed to be cross-compatible. These SMG mags also are available in real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity versions with BB storage capacities varying from around 24 airsoft BBs with real capacity mags to over 200 BBs with high capacity magazines. Rifle Magazines for Green Gas and HPA Systems Green gas rifles (consisting of GBB variations) and weapons powered by high pressure air (HPA) typically have their own customized design depending on the airsoft gun brand. These magazines use air and gas to work so the magazines typically include builtin gas reservoirs or pre-tapped for HPA tank connections. The mags used in GBB weapons keep gas in the mag so the rifle cycles every shot and feeds in the next BB. HPA pre-tapped magazines use HPA lines which are connected to the valves and permit the pressurized air to stream in through the mag. This setup feeds the airsoft BBs into the HPA gun.
Airsoft Pistol Mags Info
Airsoft pistol mags are frequently less flexible when compared to the AEG mags used in smgs and rifles. Many airsoft pistol mags hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
