Airsoft Gun Mags Information
These magazines normally connect to the airsoft weapon very similarly to the real weapons they are designed after. The types of airsoft gun mags include real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags.
Airsoft Weapon Magazine Type Information
Airsoft gun magazines come in a few types like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines. Real capacity mags, or real-caps, imitate the amount of airsoft BBs a genuine weapon would store, which is typically about 24 to 30 BBs. Mid capability mags, or mid-caps, permit for additional airsoft BB storage with capacities about 120 to 160 BBs.
Airsoft Magazine Functionality Details
Airsoft mags have a series of internal channels and BB storage spots. The BBs are typically packed into these channels with a spring connected to the really far end. When the BBs are loaded, they compress the spring creating tension. On the load end, a small lock holds the BBs in the mag. When a BB is fired, the airsoft gun releases the lock for an instant and loads another BB into the weapon out of the mag. CO2, GBB, and HPA guns, which use high pressure air or green gas, will typically keep 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 magazines are most frequently used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. Learn about how airsoft guns like spring, AEG, and green gas rifles shoot BBs. The mags are specific 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 weapon’s magazine well.
Did You Know?
Some airsoft AEGs and light machine guns, or LMGs, use high-cap drum magazines. They can store up to 1000s of BBs and provide massive amounts of suppressive fire for a squad or fireteam.
Airsoft SMG Magazines Details
Airsoft SMG magazines AEG are similarly separated by weapon design and usable between different 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 mags are usually built to be 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 mags. Rifle Mags for Green Gas and HPA Systems Green gas rifles (including GBB versions) and guns powered by high pressure air (HPA) often have their own custom-made style depending on the airsoft weapon brand. These mags use air and gas to operate so the mags typically include builtin gas reservoirs or are pre-tapped for HPA tank connections. The mags used in GBB weapons house 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 permit the pressurized air to flow in through the magazine. This setup feeds the airsoft BBs into the HPA gun.
Airsoft Handgun Magazines
When compared to the AEG magazines used in rifles and SMGs, Airsoft pistol magazines are often less flexible. Pistols mags vary by type and often use CO2 or green gas (propane) housed in the magazine. The magazine is placed into the handgun’s grip like the standard firearm style. Handgun magazines are often interchangeable between similar designs of the exact same airsoft gun maker, however are typically not cross-brand compatible unless they are particularly created for that function. Understanding the various styles and types of airsoft pistols gives you more insight to how their mags function. A lot of airsoft pistol magazines store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
