Details About Airsoft Gun Mags
Airsoft guns shoot airsoft BBs. These BBs are usually held in the weapon’s mag. These mags usually connect to the airsoft gun very similarly to the genuine weapons they are designed after. The kinds of airsoft weapon mags include real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines.
Airsoft Gun Mag Type Info
Airsoft gun magazines come in a handful of styles like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags. These types most often relate to AEG magazines. Real capacity magazines, or real-caps, replicate the supply of airsoft BBs a genuine weapon would keep in live ammo, which is normally 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 mags, or high-caps, give airsoft players the most storage with around 200 rounds of BB storage capacity. One thing to note about high-cap mags is that airsoft arenas usually restrain their usage because they allow players firing a lot of ammo to spray and pray during games.
How Airsoft Mags Work
Airsoft mags have a series of internal channels and BB storage zones. The BBs are typically pushed into these channels with a spring attached to the very far end. When the BBs are filled, they compress the spring producing tension. On the load end, a small lock holds the BBs in the magazine. When a BB is fired, the airsoft gun releases the lock for a fraction of a second and loads another BB into the weapon out of the magazine. GBB, HPA, and CO2 weapons, which use high pressure air or green gas, will frequently save the gas or feed air in through the mag. This feeds BBs into the guns for these kinds of systems.
Airsoft Rifle Mags Details
Airsoft rifle mags are most often used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some kinds of sniper rifles. The magazines are related to the type of AEG rifle and most of the kinds of that rifle are cross-compatible with the magazines. Understand how the inner workings of airsoft guns shoot BBs. The AEG mags are inserted into the gun’s magazine well. For instance M4 design AEG magazines would typically operate in all M4 style 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 same would apply to AK47 AEG magazines with swapability in between different AK rifle platforms. AEG rifle mags can hold in between 60 to 200+ airsoft BBs.
About Airsoft SMG Mags
Airsoft SMG magazines AEG are similarly separated by gun design and usable between various submachine guns. Hecker and Koch H&K MP5 AEG magazines are made to operate in different MP5s like the MP5K or MP5SD. P90, KRISS Vector, and TMP AEG mags are developed to be cross-compatible. These SMG mags also come in real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity variations 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 These mags use air and gas to operate so the magazines typically come with builtin gas tanks or pre-tapped for HPA tank connections. The mags used in GBB guns save gas in the magazine so the rifle cycles every shot and feeds in the next BB.
Information on Airsoft Handgun Mags
Airsoft handgun mags are often less versatile when compared to the AEG magazines used in smgs and rifles. Pistols mags vary by type and typically use CO2 or green gas (propane) housed in the mag. The mag is placed into the pistol’s grip like the basic gun design. Pistol mags are often interchangeable between similar designs of the same airsoft gun maker, however are often not cross-brand compatible unless they are particularly created for that function. Learning about the specific styles of airsoft sidearms gives you a better understanding of how their pistol mags function. Many airsoft pistol mags save around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
