Airsoft Gun Mags Information
These magazines typically connect to the airsoft weapon comparable to the real weapons they are designed after. The types of airsoft gun mags include real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags.
Details About Airsoft Gun Magazine Types
Airsoft gun mags can be found in a couple of types like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines. These kinds most often involve AEG magazines for automatic electric guns. Real capacity magazines, or real-caps, mimic the supply of airsoft BBs a real gun would keep in live ammo, which is typically around 24 to 30 BBs. Mid capability magazines, or mid-caps, permit more airsoft BB storage with capacities around 120 to 160 BBs. High capacity magazines, or high-caps, provide airsoft gamers the most storage with over 200 rounds of BB storage volume. Something to consider about high-cap mags is that airsoft fields usually regulate their use because they allow players firing a lot of ammunition to spray-and-pray during games.
How Airsoft Magazines Work
Airsoft mags have a series of internal channels and BB storage locations. The BBs are generally pushed into these channels with a spring attached to the really far end. When the BBs are loaded, they compress the spring developing stress. On the load end, a little lock holds the BBs in the magazine. When a BB is fired, the airsoft weapon releases the latch for a split second and loads another BB into the gun out of the magazine. CO2, GBB, and HPA guns, which use high pressure air or green gas, will typically store the gas or feed air in through the magazine. This feeds BBs into the guns for these kinds of systems.
Airsoft Rifle Magazines
Airsoft rifle magazines are usually used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some kinds of sniper rifles. The magazines are directly related to the type of AEG rifle plus most of the kinds of that rifle are cross-compatible with the magazines. See how airsoft weapons work. The AEG mags are inserted into the gun’s mag insertion area. M4 style AEG mags would typically work in all M4 design rifles from a brief CBQ gun with a 10 inch barrel made by G and G to a designated marksman rifle (DMR) platform with a 24 inch barrel. The exact same would relate to AK47 AEG magazines with swapability in between various AK rifle platforms. AEG rifle magazines can store between 60 to 200+ airsoft BBs.
Airsoft SMG Magazines
Airsoft SMG magazines AEG are similarly separated by weapon model and usable between various submachine guns. These SMG magazines 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 These mags use air and gas to function so the magazines often come with builtin gas reservoirs or pre-tapped for HPA tank connections. The magazines used in GBB weapons keep gas in the magazine so the rifle cycles every shot and feeds in the next BB.
Airsoft Pistol Magazines Details
When compared to the AEG magazines used in rifles and SMGs, Airsoft pistol magazines are often less versatile. Handguns mags vary by type and frequently use CO2 or green gas (propane) kept in the mag. The magazine is placed into the handgun’s grip like the standard firearm design. Pistol mags are typically interchangeable in between similar models of the same airsoft weapon producer, however are typically not cross-brand suitable unless they are particularly developed for that function. Learning about the different styles of airsoft pistols can give you more insight to how their magazines work. A lot of airsoft handgun mags store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
