Airsoft Weapon Mags
These mags generally connect to the airsoft weapon the same as the genuine weapons they are modeled after. The types of airsoft gun mags consist of real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags.
Airsoft Weapon Magazine Type Info
Airsoft weapon magazines come in a few types like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags. Real capacity magazines, or real-caps, mimic the amount of airsoft BBs a genuine gun would house, which is usually about 24 to 30 BBs. Mid capability magazines, or mid-caps, allow for additional airsoft BB storage with capacities around 120 to 160 BBs.
Info on How Airsoft Magazines Work
Airsoft magazines have a series of internal channels and BB storage areas. When a BB is fired, the airsoft gun releases the latch for a fraction of a second and loads another BB into the gun out of the mag. CO2, HPA, and GBB weapons, which use high pressure air or green gas, will typically stash the gas or feed air in through the magazine.
Airsoft Rifle Mags
Airsoft rifle mags are most often used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. See how airsoft AEGs work. The magazines are specific 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 mag well.
Did You Know?
Some airsoft AEGs and light machine guns, or LMGs, use very large capacity magazines. They can carry up to 1000s of BBs and provide fire support for a unit or fireteam.
Info on Airsoft SMG Mags
Airsoft SMG magazines AEG are similarly separated by gun model and usable between different submachine guns. These SMG mags usually 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 (consisting of GBB variations) and guns powered by high pressure air (HPA) often have their own custom-made style depending on the airsoft weapon brand. These magazines use air and gas to function so the mags often come with builtin gas reservoirs or are pre-tapped for HPA tank connections. The magazines used in GBB weapons store gas in the magazine so the rifle cycles every shot and feeds in the next BB. HPA pre-tapped magazines use HPA lines which are hooked up to the valves and allow the pressurized air to stream in through the magazine. This setup feeds the airsoft BBs into the HPA weapon.
Airsoft Pistol Magazines
When compared to the AEG magazines used in rifles and SMGs, Airsoft pistol magazines are typically less flexible. Handguns mags differ by type and frequently use CO2 or green gas (propane) stored in the magazine. The magazine is placed into the handgun’s grip like the basic firearm style. Pistol magazines are often interchangeable between similar designs of the exact same airsoft gun manufacturer, however are often not cross-brand suitable unless they are specifically developed for that function. Understanding the different styles of airsoft handguns gives you more insight to how their mags work. A lot of airsoft pistol magazines keep around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
