Airsoft Weapon Magazines
Airsoft guns shoot airsoft BBs. These BBs are usually kept in the gun’s magazine. These magazines usually attach to the airsoft weapon similar to the real weapons they are created after. The types of airsoft gun mags consist of real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags.
About Airsoft Gun Magazine Types
Airsoft weapon mags come in multiple types like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags. Real capacity magazines, or real-caps, mimic the amount of airsoft BBs a genuine gun would house, which is typically about 24 to 30 BBs. Mid capability magazines, or mid-caps, allow for additional airsoft BB storage with capacities about 120 to 160 BBs.
Airsoft Magazine Functionality Info
Airsoft magazines have a series of internal channels and BB storage areas. The BBs are normally packed into these channels with a spring connected to the really far end. When the BBs are packed, 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 latch for an instant and loads another BB into the gun out of the magazine. CO2, GBB, and HPA guns, which use compressed air or green gas, will frequently keep the gas or feed air in through the magazine. This feeds BBs into the guns for these types of systems.
Airsoft Rifle Mags Information
Airsoft rifle magazines are frequently used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. The magazines are directly related to the type of AEG rifle and most of the kinds of that rifle are cross-compatible with the magazines. See how the inner workings of airsoft weapons shoot BBs. The AEG magazines are placed into the gun’s mag well. M4 design AEG mags would normally work in all M4 style rifles from a short CBQ gun with a 10″ barrel made by G&G to a designated marksman rifle (DMR) platform with a 24″ barrel. The same cross-compatibility would apply to AK47 AEG magazines with swapability in between different AK rifle platforms. AEG rifle mags can hold between 60 to 200+ airsoft BBs.
Airsoft SMG Mags Details
Airsoft SMG mags AEG are usually separated by gun design and functional between different 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 magazines are developed to be cross-compatible. These SMG mags 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 Magazines for Green Gas and HPA Systems Green gas rifles (consisting of GBB versions) and guns powered by high pressure air (HPA) often have their own custom-made design depending on the airsoft weapon brand. These magazines use air and gas to function so the magazines often include builtin gas reservoirs 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 magazines use HPA lines which are attached to the valves and help the pressurized air to flow in through the magazine. This setup feeds the airsoft BBs into the HPA weapon.
Airsoft Handgun Mags
Airsoft handgun magazines are frequently less flexible when compared to the AEG mags used in rifles and SMGs. Pistols mags differ by type and typically use CO2 or green gas (propane) kept in the magazine. The magazine is inserted into the handgun’s grip like the standard gun design. Handgun mags are typically interchangeable in between comparable designs of the same airsoft gun manufacturer, however are typically not cross-brand suitable unless they are particularly created for that function. Learning about the specific styles of airsoft sidearms can give you a better understanding of how their pistol mags differ. Most airsoft pistol magazines keep around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
