SportPro Army 40 Round Metal Gas Magazine for GBB MEU 1911 Airsoft – Black
ARMY 1911 40rnd Gas Magazine – Black is a spare magazine for 1911 Airsoft Pistols. The magazine is constructed entirely from Alloy, with the only Polymer parts being the Feed Lips and BB guide. The magazine is single stacked, and holds up to 40 rounds. The magazine is a perfect spare or replacement for the standard magazine which comes with 1911 Pistol, and is great for those Airsoft Skirmishers who want to spend more time in-game before having to stop and reload all their magazines. This is a must have purchase for any Airsoft Skirmisher who runs a Pistol Only CQB loadout, allowing you to fire for longer, and carry more rounds. During reload, the magazine is heavy enough that it free falls out of the magazine well – though care should be taken not to let it drop to the floor since the magazine butt plate will crack and become detached from the magazine, and the magazine will get leaky or get damaged.

Details About Airsoft Gun Mags
Airsoft guns shoot airsoft BBs. These BBs are generally kept in the weapon’s magazine. These mags typically attach to the airsoft weapon similar to the genuine weapons they are imitated. The kinds of airsoft weapon mags consist of real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines.
Airsoft Weapon Magazine Types
Airsoft gun mags come in a number of types like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines. Real capacity magazines, or real-caps, imitate the quantity of airsoft BBs a real gun would house, which is usually about 24 to 30 BBs. Mid capability mags, or mid-caps, allow for additional airsoft BB storage with capacities about 120 to 160 BBs.
How Airsoft Magazines Work
Airsoft magazines have a series of internal channels and BB storage areas. The BBs are usually packed into these channels with a spring attached to the extremely far end. When the BBs are filled, they compress the spring creating tension. On the load end, a little lock holds the BBs in the magazine. When a BB is fired, the airsoft weapon releases the latch for a fraction of a second and loads another BB into the weapon out of the magazine. GBB, CO2, and HPA weapons, which use high pressure air or green gas, will typically keep the gas or feed air in through the mag. This feeds BBs into the guns for these types of systems.
Airsoft Rifle Mags
Airsoft rifle magazines are most typically used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. Learn about how airsoft guns work. The mags are specific to the type of AEG rifle and all of the types of that rifle are cross-compatible with the mags. The AEG magazines are inserted into the gun’s magazine well.
Did You Know?
Some airsoft AEG guns and squad automatic weapons use very large capacity magazines. They can hold up to 1000s of airsoft BBs and provide massive amounts of suppressive fire for a unit or fireteam.
Info on Airsoft SMG Mags
Airsoft SMG mags AEG are usually separated by gun design and functional in between various submachine guns. Hecker and Koch H&K MP5 AEG magazines are made to work in different MP5s like the MP5K or MP5SD. P90, KRISS Vector, and TMP AEG mags are usually built to be compatible. These SMG magazines 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 Green gas rifles (including GBB versions) and weapons powered by high pressure air (HPA) typically have their own customized design depending on the airsoft weapon brand. These magazines use air and gas to work so the mags frequently feature builtin gas storage areas or are pre-tapped for HPA tank hookups. The mags used in GBB weapons store 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 hooked up to the valves and help the pressurized air to flow in through the magazine. This setup feeds the airsoft BBs into the HPA gun.
Airsoft Pistol Mags
Airsoft pistol magazines are frequently less versatile when compared to the AEG mags used in rifles and SMGs. The majority of airsoft handgun magazines house around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
