Airsoft Gun Mags
These magazines typically connect to the airsoft gun similar to the real weapons they are designed after. The types of airsoft gun magazines consist of real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags.
Airsoft Gun Mag Type Details
Airsoft gun magazines come in a few styles like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines. These kinds most often relate to AEG magazines for automatic electric guns. Real capacity magazines, or real-caps, mimic the volume of airsoft BBs a genuine weapon would keep, which is usually around 24 to 30 BBs. Mid capability mags, or mid-caps, permit more airsoft BB storage with capacities about 120 to 160 BBs. High capacity magazines, or high-caps, provide airsoft gamers the greatest storage with around 200 rounds of BB storage volume. One thing to keep in mind about high-cap mags is that airsoft arenas frequently restrain their use because they allow players shooting excessive amounts of ammunition to spray-and-pray during gameplay.
Information on 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 connected to the extremely far end. When the BBs are loaded, they compress the spring creating tension. On the load end, a small 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 mag. GBB, CO2, and HPA guns, which use compressed air or green gas, will frequently keep the gas or feed air in through the mag. This feeds BBs into the guns for these types of systems.
Airsoft Rifle Mags Info
Airsoft rifle mags are most often used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. Find out how airsoft AEGs shoot BBs. The magazines are particular 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 mag well.
High Capacity LMG Mag Info
Some airsoft AEGs and squad machine guns use very large capacity magazines. They can store up to 1000s of BBs and provide massive amounts of suppressive fire for a squad or fireteam during engagements.
Airsoft SMG Magazines Info
Airsoft SMG mags AEG are similarly separated by gun design and usable between various submachine guns. Hecker and Koch H&K MP5 AEG magazines are made to work in various MP5s like the MP5K or MP5SD. P90, KRISS Vector, and TMP AEG magazines 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 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 magazines use air and gas to operate so the mags often come with builtin gas tanks or pre-tapped for HPA tank hookups. The mags used in GBB guns save gas in the mag so the rifle cycles every shot and feeds in the next BB.
Details About Airsoft Pistol Mags
Airsoft handgun mags are often less versatile when compared to the AEG magazines used in smgs and rifles. Pistols mags differ by type and typically use CO2 or green gas (propane) kept in the magazine. The magazine is inserted into the handgun’s grip like the basic gun design. Handgun mags are typically interchangeable between comparable models of the very same airsoft weapon producer, but are often not cross-brand suitable unless they are specifically developed for that purpose. Understanding the specific types of airsoft handguns can give you more insight to how their pistol mags work. A lot of airsoft handgun magazines store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
