AIRSOFT MAGAZINES/CLIPS
Airsoft Weapon Mags
These magazines typically connect to the airsoft weapon the same as the real weapons they are modeled after. The types of airsoft weapon magazines include real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags.
Airsoft Weapon Magazine Type Info
Airsoft weapon magazines come in a few types like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags. Real capacity magazines, or real-caps, mimic the amount of airsoft BBs a real gun would store, which is typically about 24 to 30 BBs. Mid capability magazines, or mid-caps, permit for additional airsoft BB storage with capacities about 120 to 160 BBs.
Airsoft Mag Functionality Information
Airsoft magazines have a series of internal channels and BB storage spots. The BBs are typically packed into these channels with a spring attached to the extremely far end. When the BBs are loaded, they compress the spring creating tension. On the load end, a small latch holds the BBs in the mag. When a BB is fired, the airsoft gun launches the lock for a fraction of a second and loads another BB into the gun out of the mag. CO2, GBB, and HPA guns, which use high pressure air or green gas, will typically save the gas or feed air in through the magazine. This feeds BBs into the guns for these kinds of systems.
Airsoft Rifle Magazines Info
Airsoft rifle mags are most often used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. The mags are directly related to the type of AEG rifle plus most of the kinds of that rifle are cross-compatible with the mags. See how airsoft guns function. The AEG magazines are placed into the weapon’s mag well. For instance M4 style AEG mags would usually work in all M4 design rifles from a short CBQ gun with a 10 inch barrel made by G and G to a designated marksman rifle (DMR) platform with a 24″ made by Lancer Tactical or Elite Force. The same would apply to AK47 AEG magazines with swapability between different AK rifle platforms. AEG rifle magazines can hold between 60 to 200+ airsoft BBs.
Information on Airsoft SMG Magazines
Airsoft SMG magazines AEG are also separated by weapon design and functional between various submachine guns (SMGs). These SMG magazines also come 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 mags. Rifle Mags for Green Gas and HPA Systems Green gas rifles (including GBB variations) and weapons powered by high pressure air (HPA) typically have their own customized style depending upon the airsoft gun brand. These magazines use air and gas to function so the mags frequently feature builtin gas storage areas or are pre-tapped for HPA tank hookups. The mags used in GBB guns keep 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 connected to the valves and help the pressurized air to flow in through the magazine. This setup feeds the airsoft BBs into the HPA gun.
Information on Airsoft Handgun Magazines
Airsoft handgun magazines are often less flexible when compared to the AEG mags used in rifles and SMGs. Handguns mags differ by type and often use CO2 or green gas (propane) held in the mag. The mag is inserted into the handgun’s grip like the basic gun design. Pistol magazines are often interchangeable in between similar models of the same airsoft weapon maker, but are typically not cross-brand compatible unless they are specifically developed for that function. Understanding the different styles of airsoft pistols can give you more insight to how their magazines differ. A lot of airsoft handgun mags store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
