Information About Airsoft Gun Magazines
Airsoft weapons shoot airsoft BBs. These BBs are typically held in the weapon’s magazine. These magazines typically connect to the airsoft gun similar to the real weapons they are created after. The kinds of airsoft gun mags consist of real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines.
Airsoft Gun Magazine Type Details
Airsoft gun mags come in multiple types like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines. Real capacity magazines, or real-caps, replicate the quantity of airsoft BBs a genuine weapon would store, which is usually about 24 to 30 BBs. Mid capability magazines, or mid-caps, permit for additional airsoft BB storage with capacities about 120 to 160 BBs.
Info on How Airsoft Magazines Work
Airsoft mags have a series of internal channels and BB storage locations. The BBs are typically loaded into these channels with a spring attached to the extremely far end. When the BBs are loaded, they compress the spring producing stress. On the load end, a little lock holds the BBs in the magazine. When a BB is fired, the airsoft weapon launches the lock for a split second and loads another BB into the weapon out of the magazine. CO2, GBB, and HPA weapons, which use high pressure air or green gas, will often keep the gas or feed air in through the magazine. This feeds BBs into the guns for these types of systems.
Airsoft Rifle Mags Info
Airsoft rifle mags are usually used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some kinds of sniper rifles. The mags are related to the kind of AEG rifle and most of the types of that rifle are cross-compatible with the mags. See how airsoft guns work. The AEG magazines are inserted into the gun’s magazine well. M4 design AEG magazines would generally work in all M4 design rifles from a brief CBQ gun with a 10″ barrel made by G and G to a designated marksman rifle (DMR) platform with a 24″ barrel. The exact same cross-compatibility would relate to AK47 AEG magazines with swapability in between various AK rifle platforms. AEG rifle magazines can hold between 60 to 200+ airsoft BBs.
Airsoft SMG Mags Details
Airsoft SMG magazines AEG are also separated by weapon design and usable in between different submachine guns (SMGs). These SMG mags also come in real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity versions with BB storage capacities ranging from around 24 airsoft BBs with real capacity mags to over 200 BBs with high capacity mags. Rifle Magazines for Green Gas and HPA Systems These magazines use air and gas to work so the mags typically come with builtin gas tanks or pre-tapped for HPA tank hookups. The magazines used in GBB guns save gas in the mag so the rifle cycles every shot and feeds in the next BB.
Airsoft Handgun Mags Information
When compared to the AEG magazines used in smgs and rifles, Airsoft pistol magazines are often less versatile. Handguns mags differ by type and often use CO2 or green gas (propane) housed in the magazine. The magazine is inserted into the handgun’s grip like the basic gun design. Pistol magazines are often interchangeable in between similar designs of the same airsoft gun maker, but are often not cross-brand compatible unless they are particularly designed for that function. Understanding the specific styles and types of airsoft pistols gives you more insight to how their pistol mags function. Most airsoft pistol magazines store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
