Airsoft Weapon Mags
These magazines generally attach to the airsoft gun similar to the real weapons they are modeled after. The types of airsoft gun mags include real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines.
Airsoft Weapon Magazine Types
Airsoft weapon magazines come in a few types like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags. Real capacity magazines, or real-caps, imitate the amount of airsoft BBs a genuine gun would house, which is usually about 24 to 30 BBs. Mid capability mags, or mid-caps, permit for additional airsoft BB storage with capacities around 120 to 160 BBs.
How Airsoft Mags Work
Airsoft mags have a series of internal channels and BB storage spots. The BBs are usually pushed into these channels with a spring attached to the really far end. When the BBs are filled, they compress the spring developing tension. On the load end, a little latch holds the BBs in the mag. When a BB is fired, the airsoft gun launches the latch for an instant and loads another BB into the weapon out of the magazine. GBB, CO2, and HPA weapons, 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 kinds of systems.
Details About Airsoft Rifle Magazines
Airsoft rifle magazines are most often used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. The magazines are specific to the kind of AEG rifle plus all of the kinds of that rifle are cross-compatible with the mags. Understand how airsoft guns work. The AEG mags are inserted into the weapon’s magazine well. For example M4 style AEG magazines would usually operate in all M4 style rifles from a brief CBQ gun with a 10 inch barrel made by KWA to a designated marksman rifle (DMR) platform with a 24″ made by Lancer Tactical or Elite Force. The same idea would apply to AK47 AEG mags with swapability between various AK rifle platforms. AEG rifle mags can store between 60 to 200+ airsoft BBs.
Airsoft SMG Magazines
Airsoft SMG mags AEG are similarly separated by weapon model and usable in between various 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 mags. Rifle Mags for Green Gas and HPA Systems Green gas rifles (consisting of GBB versions) and weapons powered by high pressure air (HPA) often have their own custom-made style depending upon the airsoft weapon brand. These magazines use air and gas to work so the mags often feature builtin gas storage areas or are pre-tapped for HPA tank hookups. The mags used in GBB guns accumulate gas in the magazine so the rifle cycles every shot and feeds in the next BB. HPA pre-tapped magazines use HPA lines which are linked to the valves and let the pressurized air to flow in through the magazine. This setup feeds the airsoft BBs into the HPA gun.
Airsoft Pistol Magazines
When compared to the AEG magazines used in rifles and SMGs, Airsoft pistol magazines are frequently less versatile. Handguns mags differ by type and frequently use CO2 or green gas (propane) stored in the mag. The mag is inserted into the handgun’s grip like the basic firearm style. Pistol mags are often interchangeable between similar models of the very same airsoft weapon manufacturer, but are often not cross-brand compatible unless they are specifically developed for that function. Understanding the various types of airsoft pistols can give you a better understanding of how their magazines work. Most airsoft pistol mags save around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
