AIRSOFT ACCESSORIES
Airsoft Weapon Mags
These mags usually attach to the airsoft gun quite similar to the real weapons they are modeled after. The types of airsoft gun mags consist of real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines.
Information on Airsoft Weapon Mag Types
Airsoft weapon magazines are manufactured in multiple styles like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags. These types most often involve AEG mags for automatic electric guns. Real capacity mags, or real-caps, simulate the quantity of airsoft BBs a real weapon would store in bullets, which is usually about 24 to 30 airsoft BBs. Mid capability magazines, or mid-caps, enable more airsoft BB space with capacities about 120 to 160 BBs. High capacity magazines, or high-caps, offer airsoft gamers the greatest storage space with around 200 rounds of BB storage volume. Something to take note of about high-cap mags is that airsoft arenas usually regulate their use during games because of players using way too much ammunition to spray-and-pray throughout games.
Details About How Airsoft Mags Work
Airsoft magazines have a series of internal channels and BB storage spaces. The BBs are usually filled into these channels with a spring connected to the very far end. When the BBs are packed, they compress the spring producing stress. On the load end, a small latch holds the BBs in the mag. When a BB is fired, the airsoft weapon launches the lock for a split second and loads another BB into the gun out of the mag. HPA, GBB, and CO2 weapons, which use high pressure air or green gas, will typically keep the gas or feed air in through the mag. This feeds BBs into the guns for these kinds of systems.
Airsoft Rifle Magazines
Airsoft rifle mags are most typically used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. See how airsoft guns work. The mags 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 placed into the weapon’s mag well.
High-Cap LMG Mag Facts
Some airsoft AEGs and light machine guns, or LMGs, use high-cap box or drum magazines. They can hold up to thousands of airsoft BBs and provide massive amounts of suppressive fire for a squad or fireteam.
About Airsoft SMG Mags
Airsoft SMG mags AEG are also separated by weapon design and usable in between different submachine guns. 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 magazines. Rifle Mags 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 style depending on the airsoft gun brand. These mags use air and gas to function so the mags frequently feature builtin gas storage or are pre-tapped for HPA tank hookups. The mags used in GBB weapons keep 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 hooked up to the valves and let the pressurized air to flow in through the magazine. This setup feeds the airsoft BBs into the HPA gun.
Info on Airsoft Pistol Mags
Airsoft pistol mags are typically less versatile when compared to the AEG magazines used in rifles and SMGs. A lot of airsoft pistol mags can store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
