About Airsoft Weapon Magazines
These mags typically attach to the airsoft gun very similarly to the genuine weapons they are modeled after. The types of airsoft gun magazines consist of real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines.
Details About Airsoft Weapon Mag Types
Airsoft gun mags come in a handful of kinds like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines. These types most often relate to AEG mags. Real capacity mags, or real-caps, imitate the volume of airsoft BBs a real gun would store, which is usually about 24 to 30 airsoft BBs. Mid capability mags, or mid-caps, enable more airsoft BB space with capacities about 120 to 160 BBs. High capacity mags, or high-caps, offer airsoft players the greatest storage with around 200 rounds of BB storage volume. One thing to consider about high-cap mags is that airsoft arenas usually restrain their use due to players firing excessive amounts 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 normally loaded into these channels with a spring attached to the very 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 split second and loads another BB into the weapon out of the mag. GBB, CO2, and HPA weapons, which use high pressure air or green gas, will frequently keep the gas or feed air in through the mag. This feeds BBs into the guns for these kinds of systems.
Details About Airsoft Rifle Mags
Airsoft rifle magazines are usually used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some kinds of sniper rifles. The magazines are specific to the type of AEG rifle plus most of the kinds of that rifle are cross-compatible with the mags. See how airsoft guns function. The AEG mags are inserted into the gun’s magazine insertion area. For instance M4 design AEG mags would typically operate in all M4 design rifles from a brief CBQ gun with a 10″ barrel made by G and G to a designated marksman rifle (DMR) platform with a 24″ made by Lancer Tactical or Elite Force. The exact same would relate to AK47 AEG magazines with swapability between various AK rifle platforms. AEG rifle mags can hold between 60 to 200+ airsoft BBs.
Airsoft SMG Mags
Airsoft SMG mags AEG are also separated by weapon model and functional in between various submachine guns (SMGs). These SMG mags 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 mags. Rifle Mags for Green Gas and HPA Systems Green gas rifles (consisting of GBB variations) and weapons powered by high pressure air (HPA) typically have their own customized design depending upon the airsoft gun brand. These magazines use air and gas to operate so the mags frequently come with builtin gas reservoirs or are pre-tapped for HPA tank connections. The mags used in GBB weapons save 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 attached to the valves and help the pressurized air to flow in through the mag. This setup feeds the airsoft BBs into the HPA weapon.
Airsoft Handgun Mags Details
Airsoft handgun magazines are frequently less flexible when compared to the AEG mags used in rifles and SMGs. A lot of airsoft pistol mags hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
