Airsoft Weapon Magazines
These mags usually connect to the airsoft gun quite similar to the real weapons they are modeled after. The types of airsoft weapon magazines include real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags.
Information on Airsoft Gun Magazine Types
Airsoft weapon magazines come in a number of types like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags. Real capacity mags, or real-caps, imitate the quantity of airsoft BBs a genuine gun would house, which is usually about 24 to 30 BBs. Mid capability mags, or mid-caps, allow for more airsoft BB storage with capacities around 120 to 160 BBs.
About How Airsoft Mags Work
Airsoft magazines have a series of internal channels and BB storage areas. The BBs are normally loaded into these channels with a spring attached to the extremely far end. When the BBs are packed, they compress the spring developing stress. On the load end, a small lock holds the BBs in the mag. When a BB is fired, the airsoft gun releases the latch for an instant and loads another BB into the weapon out of the mag. GBB, CO2, and HPA guns, which use compressed air or green gas, will frequently save the gas or feed air in through the mag. This feeds BBs into the guns for these types of systems.
Airsoft Rifle Mags
Airsoft rifle mags are most typically used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. Find out how airsoft guns shoot BBs. The mags are particular to the type of AEG rifle and all of the types of that rifle are cross-compatible with the mags. The AEG magazines are placed into the weapon’s magazine well.
Did You Know?
Some airsoft AEGs and squad automatic weapons like SAWs use very large capacity magazines. They can carry up to thousands of airsoft BBs and provide fire support for a squad or fireteam during engagements.
Airsoft SMG Magazines Information
Airsoft SMG mags AEG are similarly separated by weapon design and functional between different submachine guns. Hecker and Koch H&K MP5 AEG magazines are made to work in various MP5s like the MP5K or MP5SD. P90, KRISS Vector, and TMP AEG magazines are usually built to be compatible. These SMG mags also come in real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity versions with BB storage capacities ranging 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 weapons powered by high pressure air (HPA) frequently have their own customized style depending upon the airsoft gun brand. These magazines use air and gas to function so the mags often include builtin gas storage or pre-tapped for HPA tank hookups. The mags used in GBB guns save gas in the magazine 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 stream in through the mag. This setup feeds the airsoft BBs into the HPA gun.
Airsoft Pistol Magazines Details
Airsoft handgun mags are typically less versatile when compared to the AEG magazines used in rifles and SMGs. Pistols mags vary by type and typically use CO2 or green gas (propane) housed in the magazine. The magazine is placed into the pistol’s grip like the basic gun style. Handgun mags are typically interchangeable in between similar models of the same airsoft weapon producer, but are often not cross-brand compatible unless they are specifically created for that function. Understanding the specific styles and types of airsoft pistols gives you a better understanding of how their pistol mags function. A lot of airsoft handgun mags save around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
