Info About Airsoft Weapon Magazines
These magazines normally attach to the airsoft weapon very similarly to the real weapons they are modeled after. The types of airsoft gun mags include real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines.
Info on Airsoft Gun Magazine Types
Airsoft weapon magazines come in multiple 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 house, which is generally about 24 to 30 BBs. Mid capability mags, or mid-caps, allow for additional airsoft BB storage with capacities around 120 to 160 BBs.
How Airsoft Mags Work
Airsoft magazines have a series of internal channels and BB storage areas. When a BB is fired, the airsoft gun launches the lock for a fraction of a second and loads another BB into the gun out of the magazine. CO2, GBB, and HPA weapons, which use high pressure air or green gas, will frequently keep the gas or feed air in through the mag.
Airsoft Rifle Magazines Details
Airsoft rifle magazines are most often used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some kinds of sniper rifles. The magazines are relegated to the kind of AEG rifle plus all of the types of that rifle are cross-compatible with the mags. Understand how the inner workings of airsoft weapons shoot BBs. The AEG magazines are inserted into the gun’s magazine insertion area. For instance M4 style AEG magazines would usually operate in all M4 design rifles from a brief CBQ gun with a 10 inch barrel made by G&G to a designated marksman rifle (DMR) platform with a 24″ barrel. The same would apply to AK47 AEG magazines with swapability in between various AK rifle platforms. AEG rifle magazines can hold between 60 to 200+ airsoft BBs.
Info on Airsoft SMG Magazines
Airsoft SMG magazines AEG are also separated by weapon design and usable in between various 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 magazines are built 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 Magazines for Green Gas and HPA Systems Green gas rifles (consisting of GBB variations) and weapons powered by high pressure air (HPA) frequently have their own custom-made design depending upon the airsoft weapon brand. These mags use air and gas to function so the mags frequently come with builtin gas storage areas or are pre-tapped for HPA tank connections. The mags used in GBB guns store gas in the magazine so the rifle cycles every shot and feeds in the next BB. HPA pre-tapped magazines use HPA lines which are linked to the valves and permit the pressurized air to stream in through the magazine. This setup feeds the airsoft BBs into the HPA gun.
Airsoft Pistol Magazines Details
Airsoft pistol magazines are frequently less flexible when compared to the AEG mags used in rifles and SMGs. Handguns mags vary by type and typically use CO2 or green gas (propane) stored in the mag. The magazine is inserted into the pistol’s grip like the basic firearm design. Pistol mags are often interchangeable in between similar models of the exact same airsoft gun producer, but are frequently not cross-brand compatible unless they are particularly designed for that purpose. Learning about the different styles and types of airsoft pistols gives you more insight to how their pistol mags work. Most airsoft pistol magazines store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
