Airsoft Weapon Mags
Airsoft guns shoot airsoft BBs. These BBs are usually kept in the weapon’s magazine. These mags normally connect to the airsoft gun similar to the real weapons they are modeled after. The types of airsoft gun mags consist of real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags.
Information on Airsoft Weapon Magazine Types
Airsoft gun mags are made in several styles like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags. These styles usually relate to AEG mags for automatic electric guns. Real capacity mags, or real-caps, replicate the volume of airsoft BBs a real gun would keep, which is normally about 24 to 30 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 space with around 200 rounds of BB storage capacity. One point to take note of about high-cap mags is that airsoft fields usually restrain their use because they allow players shooting excessive amounts 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 usually pushed into these channels with a spring attached to the very far end. When the BBs are filled, they compress the spring developing tension. On the load end, a small lock holds the BBs in the mag. When a BB is fired, the airsoft weapon 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 typically save the gas or feed air in through the magazine. This feeds BBs into the guns for these types of systems.
Airsoft Rifle Mags
Airsoft rifle magazines are most frequently used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. Learn about 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 mags. The AEG mags are placed into the gun’s mag well.
Did You Know?
Some airsoft AEG guns and squad machine guns use very large capacity magazines. They can hold up to thousands of airsoft BBs and provide massive amounts of suppressive fire for a squad or fireteam.
Details About Airsoft SMG Mags
Airsoft SMG magazines AEG are also separated by gun design and usable in between various submachine guns. Hecker and Koch H&K MP5 AEG mags are made to operate in different MP5s like the MP5K or MP5SD. P90, KRISS Vector, and TMP AEG magazines are usually built to be compatible. These SMG mags also can be found in real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity variations 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 These magazines use air and gas to operate so the mags often come with builtin gas tanks or pre-tapped for HPA tank connections. The magazines used in GBB guns store gas in the mag so the rifle cycles every shot and feeds in the next BB.
Airsoft Pistol Mags Info
When compared to the AEG mags used in rifles and SMGs, Airsoft pistol magazines are frequently less versatile. Pistols mags differ by type and often use CO2 or green gas (propane) stored in the magazine. The magazine is inserted into the pistol’s grip like the basic firearm style. Handgun mags are often interchangeable in between similar designs of the same airsoft gun manufacturer, but are often not cross-brand suitable unless they are specifically developed for that purpose. Learning about the different styles and types of airsoft sidearms can give you more insight to how their mags differ. Many airsoft handgun magazines keep around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
