Airsoft Weapon Mags Info

Airsoft guns shoot airsoft BBs. These BBs are generally stored in the gun’s mag. These mags generally connect to the airsoft gun similar to the genuine weapons they are modeled after. The types of airsoft gun mags consist of real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags.

Airsoft Weapon Mag Type Info

Airsoft gun magazines come in a number of types like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines. Real capacity mags, or real-caps, replicate the quantity of airsoft BBs a genuine weapon would hold, which is usually about 24 to 30 BBs. Mid capability magazines, or mid-caps, enable for more airsoft BB storage with capacities about 120 to 160 BBs.

Information on How Airsoft Mags Work

Airsoft mags have a series of internal channels and BB storage areas. The BBs are typically pushed into these channels with a spring attached to the extremely far end. When the BBs are packed, they compress the spring creating stress. On the load end, a small lock holds the BBs in the magazine. When a BB is fired, the airsoft gun launches the latch for a split second and loads another BB into the weapon out of the mag. CO2, GBB, and HPA guns, which use compressed air or green gas, will typically store the gas or feed air in through the magazine. This feeds BBs into the guns for these types of systems.

Airsoft Rifle Mags

Airsoft rifle magazines are most often used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. Learn about how airsoft AEGs work. The magazines are specific to the type of AEG rifle and all of the types of that rifle are cross-compatible with the mags. The AEG magazines are inserted into the gun’s mag well.

High-Cap LMG Mag Information

Some airsoft AEGs and squad automatic weapons like SAWs use very large capacity magazines. They can store up to thousands of airsoft BBs and provide massive amounts of suppressive fire for a squad or fireteam during fights.

Information on Airsoft SMG Mags

Airsoft SMG magazines AEG are also separated by weapon model 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 constructed in a similar way. 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 magazines. Rifle Mags for Green Gas and HPA Systems Green gas rifles (including GBB variations) and weapons powered by high pressure air (HPA) often have their own custom style depending on the airsoft weapon brand. These magazines use air and gas to operate so the mags frequently include builtin gas storage areas or are pre-tapped for HPA tank hookups. The mags used in GBB weapons accumulate gas in the mag so the rifle cycles every shot and feeds in the next BB. HPA pre-tapped mags use HPA lines which are linked to the valves and enable the pressurized air to stream in through the mag. This setup feeds the airsoft BBs into the HPA gun.

Airsoft Pistol Magazines Details

Airsoft pistol mags are often less flexible when compared to the AEG magazines used in rifles and SMGs. Handguns mags differ by type and frequently use CO2 or green gas (propane) kept in the magazine. The mag is inserted into the pistol’s grip like the basic gun style. Pistol mags are typically interchangeable in between comparable designs of the very same airsoft gun producer, however are typically not cross-brand compatible unless they are specifically designed for that function. Understanding the specific types of airsoft pistols gives you more insight to how their mags function. Many airsoft pistol magazines store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
