Information About Airsoft Gun Magazines
These mags generally connect to the airsoft weapon similar to the real weapons they are designed after. The types of airsoft weapon magazines include real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines.
Airsoft Gun Mag Type Information
Airsoft gun magazines come in multiple types like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags. Real capacity magazines, or real-caps, simulate the amount of airsoft BBs a genuine gun would store, which is normally about 24 to 30 BBs. Mid capability magazines, or mid-caps, allow for more airsoft BB storage with capacities around 120 to 160 BBs.
How Airsoft Magazines Work
Airsoft mags have a series of internal channels and BB storage areas. The BBs are usually pushed into these channels with a spring attached to the really far end. When the BBs are packed, 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 gun releases the latch for a fraction of a second and loads another BB into the gun out of the magazine. HPA, GBB, and CO2 guns, which use compressed air or green gas, will often store the gas or feed air in through the magazine. This feeds BBs into the guns for these kinds of systems.
Airsoft Rifle Magazines Information
Airsoft rifle mags are most often used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some kinds of sniper rifles. The magazines are relegated to the type of AEG rifle plus all of the types of that rifle are cross-compatible with the mags. See how airsoft weapons function. The AEG magazines are placed into the gun’s mag well. M4 design AEG magazines would typically work in all M4 design rifles from a short CBQ gun with a 10″ barrel made by KWA to a designated marksman rifle (DMR) platform with a 24 inch barrel. The exact same cross-compatibility would apply to AK47 AEG magazines with swapability in between different AK rifle platforms. AEG rifle mags can keep between 60 to 200+ airsoft BBs.
Airsoft SMG Mags Information
Airsoft SMG magazines AEG are similarly separated by weapon design and functional in between various submachine guns (SMGs). These SMG mags usually 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 mags. Rifle Mags for Green Gas and HPA Systems These mags use air and gas to operate so the magazines frequently come with builtin gas reservoirs or pre-tapped for HPA tank hookups. The magazines used in GBB guns store gas in the magazine so the rifle cycles every shot and feeds in the next BB.
Airsoft Handgun Magazines
When compared to the AEG magazines used in smgs and rifles, Airsoft handgun mags are typically less versatile. Pistols mags differ by type and often use CO2 or green gas (propane) held in the magazine. The magazine is inserted into the handgun’s grip like the standard firearm design. Pistol magazines are often interchangeable in between comparable designs of the same airsoft weapon producer, however are frequently not cross-brand suitable unless they are particularly designed for that function. Learning about the specific styles and types of airsoft handguns can give you more insight to how their pistol mags differ. Many airsoft pistol magazines save around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
