Information About Airsoft Weapon Mags
These magazines normally attach to the airsoft gun the same as the genuine weapons they are modeled after. The types of airsoft gun magazines consist of real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines.
Info on Airsoft Gun Magazine Types
Airsoft gun magazines come in several types like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines. Real capacity mags, or real-caps, replicate the quantity of airsoft BBs a genuine weapon would store, 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.
Information on How Airsoft Mags Work
Airsoft mags have a series of internal channels and BB storage locations. The BBs are generally pushed into these channels with a spring connected to the very far end. When the BBs are packed, they compress the spring developing stress. On the load end, a small latch holds the BBs in the mag. When a BB is fired, the airsoft weapon launches the lock for a split second and loads another BB into the gun out of the mag. HPA, CO2, and GBB weapons, which use high pressure air or green gas, will typically store the gas or feed air in through the mag. This feeds BBs into the guns for these kinds of systems.
About Airsoft Rifle Magazines
Airsoft rifle magazines are most often used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some kinds of sniper rifles. The magazines are relegated to the kind of AEG rifle and most of the kinds of that rifle are cross-compatible with the magazines. Learn more about how the inner workings of airsoft weapons shoot BBs. The AEG magazines are placed into the gun’s magazine well. For example M4 style AEG magazines would typically operate in all M4 design rifles from a short CBQ gun with a 10″ barrel made by G and G to a designated marksman rifle (DMR) platform with a 24 inch barrel. The exact same cross-compatibility would relate to AK47 AEG magazines with swapability between various AK rifle platforms. AEG rifle magazines can store between 60 to 200+ airsoft BBs.
Airsoft SMG Magazines
Airsoft SMG mags AEG are also separated by gun model and usable in between various submachine guns. Hecker and Koch H&K MP5 AEG mags are made to work in various MP5s like the MP5K or MP5SD. P90, KRISS Vector, and TMP AEG magazines are built in a similar way. These SMG mags also are available 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 Magazines for Green Gas and HPA Systems Green gas rifles (consisting of GBB versions) and weapons powered by high pressure air (HPA) frequently have their own customized design depending on the airsoft gun brand. These mags use air and gas to operate so the magazines frequently feature builtin gas storage or pre-tapped for HPA tank hookups. The mags used in GBB weapons house 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 allow the pressurized air to stream in through the magazine. This setup feeds the airsoft BBs into the HPA gun.
Airsoft Handgun Mags
When compared to the AEG mags used in smgs and rifles, Airsoft handgun mags are frequently less versatile. Pistols mags differ by type and typically use CO2 or green gas (propane) held in the magazine. The magazine is placed into the pistol’s grip like the standard gun style. Pistol magazines are often interchangeable in between comparable models of the exact same airsoft weapon producer, but are often not cross-brand compatible unless they are specifically developed for that function. Understanding the different styles and types of airsoft sidearms can give you a better understanding of how their magazines work. Many airsoft pistol mags store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
