Information About Airsoft Weapon Mags
Airsoft guns shoot airsoft BBs. These BBs are normally stored in the gun’s mag. These mags usually connect to the airsoft weapon very similarly to the real weapons they are created after. The kinds of airsoft gun mags include real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines.
Airsoft Weapon Mag Types
Airsoft gun magazines are available in several different styles like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags. These types frequently apply to AEG mags for automatic electric guns. Real capacity mags, or real-caps, simulate the volume of airsoft BBs a real gun would store, which is typically around 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, provide airsoft players the greatest storage space with over 200 rounds of BB storage capacity. Something to consider about high-cap mags is that airsoft arenas typically restrain their use because they allow players using an excessive amount of ammo to spray and pray throughout gameplay.
Info on How Airsoft Magazines Work
Airsoft mags have a series of internal channels and BB storage locations. 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 small lock holds the BBs in the mag. When a BB is fired, the airsoft weapon launches the latch for a split second and loads another BB into the gun out of the mag. GBB, CO2, and HPA guns, which use compressed air or green gas, will typically store the gas or feed air in through the magazine. This feeds BBs into the guns for these kinds of systems.
Airsoft Rifle Mags Info
Airsoft rifle magazines are most often used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some kinds of sniper rifles. The mags are directly related to the kind of AEG rifle plus most of the types of that rifle are cross-compatible with the mags. Learn more about how airsoft guns function. The AEG mags are inserted into the weapon’s magazine well. For example M4 design AEG mags would usually operate in all M4 design rifles from a short CBQ gun with a 10 inch barrel made by KWA to a designated marksman rifle (DMR) platform with a 24″ barrel. The very same would apply to AK47 AEG magazines with swapability between different AK rifle platforms. AEG rifle magazines can keep between 60 to 200+ airsoft BBs.
Airsoft SMG Mags Info
Airsoft SMG magazines AEG are also separated by weapon design and usable 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 magazines. Rifle Magazines for Green Gas and HPA Systems Green gas rifles (including GBB versions) and weapons powered by high pressure air (HPA) frequently have their own customized style depending upon the airsoft weapon brand. These mags use air and gas to work so the magazines typically come with builtin gas tanks or pre-tapped for HPA tank hookups. The magazines used in GBB guns store 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 connected to the valves and let the pressurized air to stream in through the mag. This setup feeds the airsoft BBs into the HPA weapon.
Airsoft Handgun Magazines Details
When compared to the AEG mags used in rifles and SMGs, Airsoft handgun magazines are often less versatile. Handguns mags differ by type and typically use CO2 or green gas (propane) housed in the mag. The mag is inserted into the handgun’s grip like the standard gun design. Handgun magazines are often interchangeable between similar designs of the very same airsoft weapon manufacturer, however are often not cross-brand compatible unless they are particularly developed for that purpose. Understanding the specific styles and types of airsoft pistols can give you a better understanding of how their pistol mags function. The majority of airsoft pistol magazines store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
