About Airsoft Gun Magazines
These magazines usually attach to the airsoft weapon quite similar to the genuine weapons they are modeled after. The types of airsoft weapon magazines consist of real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags.
Airsoft Weapon Magazine Types
Airsoft weapon mags are made in various styles like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags. These styles usually involve AEG magazines. Real capacity mags, or real-caps, simulate the volume of airsoft BBs a real gun would store in bullets, which is typically about 24 to 30 BBs. Mid capability mags, or mid-caps, enable more airsoft BB storage with capacities around 120 to 160 BBs. High capacity mags, or high-caps, give airsoft players the greatest storage space with over 200 rounds of BB storage volume. Something to take note of about high-cap mags is that airsoft arenas frequently limit their usage because of players using way too much ammunition to spray-and-pray during games.
Airsoft Mag Functionality Details
Airsoft magazines have a series of internal channels and BB storage spaces. The BBs are typically loaded into these channels with a spring connected to the very far end. When the BBs are filled, they compress the spring producing stress. On the load end, a little lock holds the BBs in the mag. When a BB is fired, the airsoft weapon releases the latch for a fraction of a second and loads another BB into the weapon out of the mag. GBB, HPA, and CO2 guns, which use high pressure 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.
Airsoft Rifle Magazines
Airsoft rifle mags are usually used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. The mags are relegated to the type of AEG rifle and all of the types of that rifle are cross-compatible with the magazines. Understand how airsoft weapons function. The AEG mags are placed into the gun’s mag insertion area. M4 style AEG mags would typically work in all M4 style rifles from a short CBQ weapon with a 10 inch barrel made by KWA to a designated marksman rifle (DMR) platform with a 24 inch like the guns made by ICS or Tokyo Marui. The exact same cross-compatibility would apply to AK47 AEG magazines with swapability between various AK rifle platforms. AEG rifle magazines can store in between 60 to 200+ airsoft BBs.
Airsoft SMG Mags Details
Airsoft SMG magazines AEG are similarly separated by gun model and functional between various 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 built to be cross-compatible. These SMG magazines 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 (including GBB variations) and weapons powered by high pressure air (HPA) often have their own customized style depending upon the airsoft gun brand. These mags use air and gas to work so the mags typically come with builtin gas storage or pre-tapped for HPA tank connections. The mags used in GBB guns keep 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 attached to the valves and permit the pressurized air to stream in through the mag. This setup feeds the airsoft BBs into the HPA gun.
Details About Airsoft Handgun Magazines
Airsoft handgun magazines are typically less versatile when compared to the AEG magazines used in rifles and SMGs. Many airsoft handgun mags hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
