Airsoft Gun Mags Info
These mags typically connect to the airsoft gun similar to the real weapons they are modeled after. The types of airsoft weapon magazines include real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags.
Airsoft Weapon Magazine Types
Airsoft weapon magazines can be found in several types like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines. These types frequently involve AEG magazines for automatic electric guns. Real capacity mags, or real-caps, mimic the total of airsoft BBs a real weapon would store, which is generally about 24 to 30 airsoft BBs. Mid capability mags, or mid-caps, enable more airsoft BB space with capacities around 120 to 160 BBs. High capacity magazines, or high-caps, give airsoft gamers the most storage space with over 200 rounds of BB storage capacity. One thing to consider about high-cap mags is that airsoft arenas frequently prohibit their use during games due to players shooting an excessive amount of ammunition to spray-and-pray during games.
How Airsoft Magazines Work
Airsoft mags have a series of internal channels and BB storage locations. The BBs are typically pushed into these channels with a spring attached to the very far end. When the BBs are filled, they compress the spring producing tension. On the load end, a small lock holds the BBs in the mag. When a BB is fired, the airsoft gun releases the latch for an instant and loads another BB into the gun out of the magazine. HPA, CO2, and GBB 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 types of systems.
Airsoft Rifle Magazines
Airsoft rifle mags are most often used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. Learn about how airsoft guns shoot BBs. The mags are particular to the type of AEG rifle and all of the types of that rifle are cross-compatible with the magazines. The AEG mags are inserted into the gun’s magazine well.
Did You Know?
Some airsoft AEG guns and squad automatic weapons use very large capacity magazines. They can store up to 1000s of BBs and provide fire support for a unit or fireteam.
Airsoft SMG Magazines
Airsoft SMG mags AEG are also separated by gun design and functional in between various submachine guns (SMGs). 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 mags. Rifle Mags for Green Gas and HPA Systems Green gas rifles (including GBB variations) and weapons powered by high pressure air (HPA) typically have their own custom style depending upon the airsoft weapon brand. These mags use air and gas to function so the magazines frequently feature builtin gas reservoirs or pre-tapped for HPA tank connections. The magazines used in GBB guns accumulate 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 linked to the valves and let the pressurized air to stream in through the magazine. This setup feeds the airsoft BBs into the HPA weapon.
Airsoft Handgun Magazines
When compared to the AEG magazines used in smgs and rifles, Airsoft handgun magazines are frequently less versatile. Handguns mags vary by type and frequently use CO2 or green gas (propane) held in the mag. The magazine is inserted into the pistol’s grip like the standard firearm style. Pistol mags are frequently interchangeable between comparable models of the exact same airsoft gun producer, but are frequently not cross-brand compatible unless they are specifically created for that purpose. Learning about the specific types of airsoft sidearms can give you more insight to how their magazines differ. Many airsoft pistol mags store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
