Airsoft Weapon Mags
Airsoft weapons shoot airsoft BBs. These BBs are usually held in the gun’s magazine. These mags generally connect to the airsoft weapon very similarly to the real weapons they are imitated. The types of airsoft weapon magazines consist of real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags.
Airsoft Gun Mag Types
Airsoft weapon mags come in a few types like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags. Real capacity magazines, or real-caps, replicate the amount of airsoft BBs a real weapon would hold, which is usually about 24 to 30 BBs. Mid capability magazines, or mid-caps, allow for more airsoft BB storage with capacities about 120 to 160 BBs.
Details About How Airsoft Mags Work
Airsoft mags have a series of internal channels and BB storage spaces. The BBs are typically loaded into these channels with a spring attached to the really far end. When the BBs are packed, they compress the spring creating tension. On the load end, a small latch holds the BBs in the magazine. When a BB is fired, the airsoft gun launches 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 frequently save the gas or feed air in through the mag. This feeds BBs into the guns for these kinds of systems.
Airsoft Rifle Mags
Airsoft rifle magazines are most typically used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. See how airsoft AEGs shoot BBs. The magazines are particular to the type of AEG rifle and all of the types of that rifle are cross-compatible with the mags. The AEG magazines are inserted into the weapon’s mag well.
Did You Know?
Some airsoft AEGs and squad machine guns use high capacity box magazines. They can store up to thousands of BBs and provide massive amounts of suppressive fire for a squad or fireteam during fights.
Information on Airsoft SMG Magazines
Airsoft SMG mags AEG are also separated by gun design and usable between different submachine guns (SMGs). These SMG magazines usually come in real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity variations 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 These mags use air and gas to operate so the mags often come with builtin gas tanks or pre-tapped for HPA tank hookups. The magazines used in GBB weapons keep gas in the magazine so the rifle cycles every shot and feeds in the next BB.
Airsoft Handgun Mags Information
Airsoft pistol mags are often less versatile when compared to the AEG mags used in smgs and rifles. Most airsoft pistol magazines store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
