Details About Airsoft Weapon Mags
These magazines typically connect to the airsoft weapon quite similar to the real weapons they are modeled after. The types of airsoft gun magazines consist of real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines.
Airsoft Weapon Magazine Types
Airsoft gun mags are made in a couple of kinds like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags. These types most often relate to AEG magazines for automatic electric guns. Real capacity magazines, or real-caps, mimic the total of airsoft BBs a real gun would hold in ammunition, which is typically about 24 to 30 airsoft BBs. Mid capability mags, or mid-caps, allow for more airsoft BB space with capacities about 120 to 160 BBs. High capacity magazines, or high-caps, give airsoft players the most storage space with over 200 rounds of BB storage volume. One point to note about high-cap mags is that airsoft arenas usually regulate their use during games because of players firing excessive amounts of ammo to spray-and-pray during games.
Info on How Airsoft Mags Work
Airsoft mags 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 weapon out of the magazine. GBB, HPA, and CO2 weapons, which use high pressure air or green gas, will typically stash the gas or feed air in through the mag.
Airsoft Rifle Magazines Details
Airsoft rifle magazines are most frequently used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. See how airsoft AEGs shoot BBs. 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 gun’s mag well.
Did You Know?
Some airsoft AEG guns and machine guns use very large capacity magazines. They can hold up to thousands of airsoft BBs and provide massive amounts of suppressive fire for a unit or fireteam.
About Airsoft SMG Mags
Airsoft SMG mags AEG are similarly separated by weapon design and functional in between different submachine guns (SMGs). These SMG magazines usually come 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 magazines. Rifle Magazines for Green Gas and HPA Systems Green gas rifles (consisting of GBB versions) and weapons powered by high pressure air (HPA) frequently have their own custom-made design depending upon the airsoft gun brand. These magazines use air and gas to work so the magazines often come with builtin gas storage or pre-tapped for HPA tank connections. The magazines used in GBB weapons save 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 help the pressurized air to flow in through the mag. This setup feeds the airsoft BBs into the HPA weapon.
Airsoft Handgun Magazines
Airsoft handgun mags are frequently less versatile when compared to the AEG mags used in smgs and rifles. Most airsoft handgun mags hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
