About Airsoft Gun Mags
Airsoft guns shoot airsoft BBs. These BBs are typically held in the gun’s magazine. These magazines normally connect to the airsoft gun similar to the real weapons they are imitated. The types of airsoft gun mags consist of real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines.
Information on Airsoft Weapon Magazine Types
Airsoft weapon mags come in a number of types like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags. Real capacity mags, or real-caps, mimic the amount of airsoft BBs a genuine weapon 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.
How Airsoft Magazines Work
Airsoft magazines have a series of internal channels and BB storage areas. The BBs are generally filled into these channels with a spring connected to the very far end. When the BBs are loaded, they compress the spring creating tension. On the load end, a small lock holds the BBs in the mag. When a BB is fired, the airsoft weapon releases the lock for a fraction of a second and loads another BB into the weapon out of the mag. CO2, HPA, and GBB weapons, which use compressed 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.
Information Airsoft Rifle Magazines
Airsoft rifle magazines are usually used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. The magazines are specific to the type of AEG rifle and most of the kinds of that rifle are cross-compatible with the magazines. Learn more about how the inner workings of airsoft guns shoot BBs. The AEG mags are placed into the gun’s magazine insertion area. M4 design AEG magazines would generally work in all M4 design rifles from a short CBQ weapon with a 10″ barrel made by KWA to a designated marksman rifle (DMR) platform with a 24″ like the guns made by ICS or Tokyo Marui. The same would apply to AK47 AEG mags with swapability in between various AK rifle platforms. AEG rifle mags can keep between 60 to 200+ airsoft BBs.
Information on Airsoft SMG Magazines
Airsoft SMG magazines AEG are usually separated by weapon model and functional between different submachine guns. Hecker and Koch H&K MP5 AEG mags are made to operate in various MP5s like the MP5K or MP5SD. P90, KRISS Vector, and TMP AEG mags are developed to be cross-compatible. These SMG mags also can be found 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 Mags for Green Gas and HPA Systems These mags use air and gas to operate so the magazines typically come with builtin gas reservoirs or pre-tapped for HPA tank connections. The magazines used in GBB weapons store gas in the mag so the rifle cycles every shot and feeds in the next BB.
Airsoft Pistol Magazines Details
When compared to the AEG magazines used in rifles and SMGs, Airsoft pistol magazines are often less flexible. Handguns mags differ by type and often use CO2 or green gas (propane) stored in the mag. The magazine is placed into the pistol’s grip like the standard firearm design. Handgun mags are frequently interchangeable in between comparable designs of the same airsoft weapon manufacturer, however are typically not cross-brand suitable unless they are specifically developed for that function. Learning about the different types of airsoft handguns gives you a better understanding of how their pistol mags differ. A lot of airsoft pistol magazines keep around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
