Airsoft Gun Magazines
These magazines usually attach to the airsoft weapon very similarly to the real weapons they are modeled after. The types of airsoft weapon mags include real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines.
Info on Airsoft Gun Magazine Types
Airsoft gun magazines are manufactured in several different styles like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags. These types most often relate to AEG magazines. Real capacity mags, or real-caps, simulate the quantity of airsoft BBs a genuine gun would hold in ammunition, which is normally about 24 to 30 BBs. Mid capability mags, or mid-caps, allow for more airsoft BB storage with capacities around 120 to 160 BBs. High capacity magazines, or high-caps, offer airsoft gamers the greatest storage with around 200 rounds of BB storage volume. One point to keep in mind about high-cap mags is that airsoft fields commonly restrain their use because they allow players using excessive amounts of ammunition to spray and pray throughout gameplay.
How Airsoft Magazines Work
Airsoft magazines have a series of internal channels and BB storage spaces. The BBs are usually filled into these channels with a spring attached to the extremely far end. When the BBs are packed, they compress the spring producing stress. On the load end, a little 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. CO2, GBB, and HPA weapons, which use high pressure air or green gas, will often store the gas or feed air in through the mag. This feeds BBs into the guns for these kinds of systems.
Details About Airsoft Rifle Magazines
Airsoft rifle magazines are most frequently used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. Learn about how airsoft AEGs shoot BBs. The mags are specific to the type of AEG rifle and all of the types of that rifle are cross-compatible with the magazines. The AEG magazines are placed into the weapon’s mag well.
About High-Cap LMG Magazines
Some airsoft AEG guns and squad machine guns use high capacity drum magazines. They can carry up to thousands of airsoft BBs and provide fire support for a squad or fireteam during engagements.
Info on Airsoft SMG Magazines
Airsoft SMG mags AEG are also separated by weapon model and usable between various submachine guns. These SMG mags also come in real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity versions 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 These mags use air and gas to work so the mags typically come with builtin gas reservoirs or pre-tapped for HPA tank hookups. The mags used in GBB weapons keep gas in the mag so the rifle cycles every shot and feeds in the next BB.
Info on Airsoft Handgun Mags
When compared to the AEG mags used in rifles and SMGs, Airsoft pistol mags are often less versatile. Handguns mags differ by type and typically use CO2 or green gas (propane) stored in the magazine. The magazine is placed into the pistol’s grip like the basic firearm style. Pistol magazines are often interchangeable between similar models of the same airsoft weapon maker, however are typically not cross-brand suitable unless they are specifically developed for that function. Understanding the different styles and types of airsoft handguns can give you more insight to how their mags work. A lot of airsoft pistol magazines save around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
