Airsoft Gun Magazine Product Features
Airsoft Gun Magazines
Airsoft weapons shoot airsoft BBs. These BBs are usually housed in the gun’s magazine. These magazines typically attach to the airsoft gun very similarly to the genuine weapons they are imitated. The types of airsoft gun mags include real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines.
Airsoft Weapon Magazine Types
Airsoft gun magazines can be found in various kinds like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags. These types most often apply to AEG magazines for automatic electric guns. Real capacity mags, or real-caps, simulate the total of airsoft BBs a real weapon would keep in live ammo, which is typically around 24 to 30 airsoft BBs. Mid capability mags, or mid-caps, allow for more airsoft BB storage with capacities about 120 to 160 BBs. High capacity magazines, or high-caps, give airsoft gamers the most storage with over 200 rounds of BB storage volume. One thing to take note of about high-cap mags is that airsoft arenas frequently prohibit their use during games due to players firing too much ammunition to spray and pray throughout games.
Airsoft Mag Functionality Info
Airsoft mags have a series of internal channels and BB storage locations. When a BB is fired, the airsoft weapon launches the lock for a split second and loads another BB into the weapon out of the magazine. CO2, GBB, and HPA guns, which use high pressure air or green gas, will often house the gas or feed air in through the mag.
Airsoft Rifle Magazines
Airsoft rifle mags are most often used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some kinds of sniper rifles. The magazines are specific to the type of AEG rifle plus all of the kinds of that rifle are cross-compatible with the magazines. Learn more about how airsoft guns function. The AEG mags are placed into the gun’s magazine insertion area. For instance M4 design AEG magazines would generally operate in all M4 style rifles from a brief CBQ gun with a 10 inch barrel made by G&G to a designated marksman rifle (DMR) platform with a 24″ made by Lancer Tactical or Elite Force. The same would relate to AK47 AEG magazines with swapability in between different AK rifle platforms. AEG rifle mags can store between 60 to 200+ airsoft BBs.
Airsoft SMG Mags Details
Airsoft SMG mags AEG are usually separated by weapon design and usable between different submachine guns. Hecker and Koch H&K MP5 AEG mags are made to work in different MP5s like the MP5K or MP5SD. P90, KRISS Vector, and TMP AEG magazines are developed to be cross-compatible. These SMG mags also can be found 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 magazines often come with builtin gas tanks or pre-tapped for HPA tank hookups. The mags used in GBB weapons keep gas in the magazine so the rifle cycles every shot and feeds in the next BB.
Info on Airsoft Handgun Mags
Airsoft handgun mags are frequently less flexible when compared to the AEG mags used in rifles and SMGs. Many airsoft handgun mags house around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
