Airsoft Weapon Magazines Info
These magazines generally attach to the airsoft weapon comparable to the genuine weapons they are modeled after. The types of airsoft gun mags consist of real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags.
Airsoft Weapon Mag Type Details
Airsoft gun mags can be found in a few types like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags. These kinds most often involve AEG magazines. Real capacity magazines, or real-caps, mimic the total of airsoft BBs a genuine weapon would keep in shells, which is usually 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, provide airsoft players the most storage with around 200 rounds of BB storage capacity. One point to keep in mind about high-cap mags is that airsoft arenas commonly prohibit their usage because they allow players firing a lot of ammo to spray and pray during games.
How Airsoft Mags Work
Airsoft mags have a series of internal channels and BB storage locations. The BBs are typically filled into these channels with a spring connected to the extremely far end. When the BBs are filled, they compress the spring developing tension. On the load end, a little lock holds the BBs in the magazine. When a BB is fired, the airsoft gun releases the latch for a fraction of a second and loads another BB into the gun out of the mag. CO2, GBB, and HPA guns, which use high pressure air or green gas, will often save the gas or feed air in through the mag. This feeds BBs into the guns for these types of systems.
Details About Airsoft Rifle Magazines
Airsoft rifle mags are usually used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. The magazines are specific to the type of AEG rifle and all of the types of that rifle are cross-compatible with the magazines. See how airsoft guns work. The AEG magazines are inserted into the gun’s mag well. M4 style AEG mags would normally work in all M4 design rifles from a brief CBQ weapon with a 10 inch barrel made by KWA to a designated marksman rifle (DMR) platform with a 24 inch barrel. The same cross-compatibility would apply to AK47 AEG mags with swapability in between different AK rifle platforms. AEG rifle magazines can store between 60 to 200+ airsoft BBs.
Info on Airsoft SMG Magazines
Airsoft SMG mags AEG are also separated by gun design and usable between different submachine guns. These SMG magazines also come 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 Mags for Green Gas and HPA Systems Green gas rifles (including GBB versions) and guns powered by high pressure air (HPA) frequently have their own custom style depending upon the airsoft gun brand. These magazines use air and gas to work so the mags often include builtin gas tanks or pre-tapped for HPA tank connections. The mags used in GBB guns accumulate gas in the mag so the rifle cycles every shot and feeds in the next BB. HPA pre-tapped mags use HPA lines which are attached to the valves and enable the pressurized air to flow in through the magazine. This setup feeds the airsoft BBs into the HPA weapon.
Information on Airsoft Pistol Magazines
Airsoft handgun mags are frequently less flexible when compared to the AEG magazines used in smgs and rifles. The majority of airsoft handgun magazines house around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
