Airsoft Gun Mags Info
Airsoft guns shoot airsoft BBs. These BBs are generally kept in the weapon’s mag. These mags usually connect to the airsoft gun very similarly to the genuine weapons they are modeled after. The kinds of airsoft weapon magazines include real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines.
Airsoft Gun Mag Type Information
Airsoft weapon magazines come in a number of types like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags. Real capacity mags, or real-caps, imitate the amount of airsoft BBs a real weapon would house, which is usually about 24 to 30 BBs. Mid capability mags, or mid-caps, allow for additional airsoft BB storage with capacities about 120 to 160 BBs.
How Airsoft Mags Work
Airsoft magazines have a series of internal channels and BB storage areas. When a BB is fired, the airsoft gun launches the lock for a split second and loads another BB into the gun out of the mag. CO2, HPA, and GBB weapons, which use high pressure air or green gas, will often store the gas or feed air in through the magazine.
Airsoft Rifle Mags Information
Airsoft rifle mags are frequently used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. The mags are specific to the type of AEG rifle and all of the types of that rifle are cross-compatible with the mags. See how airsoft guns function. The AEG mags are placed into the weapon’s magazine insertion area. M4 design AEG magazines would usually work in all M4 style rifles from a brief CBQ weapon with a 10″ barrel made by KWA to a designated marksman rifle (DMR) platform with a 24 inch barrel. The very same would relate to AK47 AEG mags with swapability between different AK rifle platforms. AEG rifle magazines can hold in between 60 to 200+ airsoft BBs.
Airsoft SMG Mags Info
Airsoft SMG mags AEG are also separated by weapon design and functional in between different submachine guns. Hecker and Koch H&K MP5 AEG magazines are made to work in various MP5s like the MP5K or MP5SD. P90, KRISS Vector, and TMP AEG magazines are built similarly with cross-compatibility. These SMG magazines also can be found 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 magazines. Rifle Mags for Green Gas and HPA Systems Green gas rifles (consisting of GBB variations) and guns powered by high pressure air (HPA) typically have their own custom-made style depending upon the airsoft gun brand. These mags use air and gas to work so the mags typically come with builtin gas storage or are pre-tapped for HPA tank connections. 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 magazines use HPA lines which are connected to the valves and enable the pressurized air to flow in through the mag. This setup feeds the airsoft BBs into the HPA gun.
Airsoft Handgun Magazines
Airsoft pistol mags are often less versatile when compared to the AEG magazines used in rifles and SMGs. Handguns mags differ by type and typically use CO2 or green gas (propane) held in the magazine. The mag is placed into the handgun’s grip like the standard firearm style. Pistol magazines are often interchangeable between comparable models of the exact same airsoft weapon producer, but are typically not cross-brand suitable unless they are particularly developed for that purpose. Understanding the different types of airsoft sidearms gives you more insight to how their pistol mags work. The majority of airsoft pistol mags store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
