Airsoft Weapon Mags
These magazines usually attach to the airsoft gun the same as the real weapons they are designed after. The types of airsoft weapon magazines consist of real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines.
Airsoft Weapon Magazine Types
Airsoft gun magazines can be found in a couple of styles like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags. These types frequently relate to AEG magazines for automatic electric guns. Real capacity magazines, or real-caps, replicate the quantity of airsoft BBs a real weapon would store, which is generally around 24 to 30 BBs. Mid capability magazines, or mid-caps, allow for more airsoft BB storage with capacities about 120 to 160 BBs. High capacity mags, or high-caps, give airsoft gamers the greatest storage with around 200 rounds of BB storage capacity. One point to note about high-cap mags is that airsoft fields frequently limit their use during games due to players using excessive amounts of ammo to spray-and-pray during games.
Details About How Airsoft Magazines Work
Airsoft mags have a series of internal channels and BB storage spaces. The BBs are normally pushed into these channels with a spring connected to the very far end. When the BBs are packed, they compress the spring developing stress. On the load end, a small latch holds the BBs in the magazine. When a BB is fired, the airsoft weapon launches the latch for an instant and loads another BB into the gun out of the mag. GBB, HPA, and CO2 weapons, which use compressed air or green gas, will often save the gas or feed air in through the magazine. This feeds BBs into the guns for these types of systems.
Airsoft Rifle Magazines
Airsoft rifle magazines are most frequently used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. Find out 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 mags are inserted into the gun’s magazine well.
Did You Know?
Some airsoft AEGs and squad automatic weapons like M249 Bravo SAWs and M60s use very large capacity magazines. They can carry up to 1000s of airsoft BBs and provide fire support for a squad or fireteam.
Airsoft SMG Magazines
Airsoft SMG magazines AEG are similarly separated by gun model and functional between different submachine guns. 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 magazines. Rifle Magazines for Green Gas and HPA Systems Green gas rifles (including GBB versions) and guns powered by high pressure air (HPA) typically have their own custom-made style depending on the airsoft weapon brand. These magazines use air and gas to work so the magazines typically feature builtin gas tanks or are pre-tapped for HPA tank connections. The magazines used in GBB weapons house 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 hooked up to the valves and permit the pressurized air to flow in through the magazine. This setup feeds the airsoft BBs into the HPA weapon.
Airsoft Pistol Magazines
When compared to the AEG mags used in rifles and SMGs, Airsoft pistol magazines are typically less versatile. Handguns mags vary by type and typically use CO2 or green gas (propane) kept in the mag. The mag is placed into the pistol’s grip like the standard firearm style. Pistol magazines are frequently interchangeable in between similar models of the same airsoft gun manufacturer, but are often not cross-brand compatible unless they are specifically created for that purpose. Learning about the specific types of airsoft handguns gives you a better understanding of how their mags work. A lot of airsoft handgun mags store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
