Info About Airsoft Weapon Magazines
Airsoft guns shoot airsoft BBs. These BBs are typically housed in the gun’s mag. These magazines usually connect to the airsoft weapon very similarly to the genuine weapons they are imitated. The types of airsoft weapon mags include real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags.
Airsoft Weapon Mag Type Details
Airsoft weapon magazines can be found in a number of types like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity mags. These types usually apply to AEG magazines for automatic electric guns. Real capacity mags, or real-caps, imitate the volume of airsoft BBs a real gun would keep in shells, which is typically around 24 to 30 BBs. Mid capability magazines, or mid-caps, enable more airsoft BB space with capacities around 120 to 160 BBs. High capacity magazines, or high-caps, offer airsoft players the greatest storage space with over 200 rounds of BB storage volume. One point to take note of about high-cap mags is that airsoft arenas frequently regulate their use during games because of players shooting excessive amounts of ammo to spray and pray throughout gameplay.
Airsoft Mag Functionality Information
Airsoft magazines have a series of internal channels and BB storage areas. When a BB is fired, the airsoft weapon releases the latch for a split second and loads another BB into the weapon out of the mag. GBB, CO2, and HPA guns, which use high pressure air or green gas, will typically keep the gas or feed air in through the mag.
Information Airsoft Rifle Magazines
Airsoft rifle magazines are most often used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. The magazines are relegated to the type of AEG rifle and most of the kinds of that rifle are cross-compatible with the magazines. Learn more about how airsoft guns function. The AEG magazines are placed into the gun’s mag insertion area. For instance M4 design AEG magazines would generally work in all M4 design rifles from a short CBQ gun with a 10″ barrel made by G&G to a designated marksman rifle (DMR) platform with a 24 inch made by Lancer Tactical or Elite Force. The same cross-compatibility would apply to AK47 AEG magazines with swapability between various AK rifle platforms. AEG rifle magazines can store in between 60 to 200+ airsoft BBs.
Airsoft SMG Magazines Information
Airsoft SMG mags AEG are usually separated by weapon model and functional between different submachine guns. Hecker and Koch H&K MP5 AEG mags are made to operate in different MP5s like the MP5K or MP5SD. P90, KRISS Vector, and TMP AEG magazines are swappable between the same weapon series. 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 Mags for Green Gas and HPA Systems Green gas rifles (consisting of GBB versions) and guns powered by high pressure air (HPA) often have their own customized design depending upon the airsoft gun brand. These mags use air and gas to operate so the mags frequently come with builtin gas tanks or pre-tapped for HPA tank connections. The magazines used in GBB weapons accumulate 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 attached to the valves and help the pressurized air to stream in through the magazine. This setup feeds the airsoft BBs into the HPA gun.
Airsoft Handgun Magazines
When compared to the AEG magazines used in rifles and SMGs, Airsoft pistol mags are typically less flexible. Handguns mags vary by type and frequently use CO2 or green gas (propane) held in the magazine. The magazine is placed into the pistol’s grip like the standard gun style. Handgun mags are typically interchangeable in between comparable designs of the very same airsoft weapon manufacturer, but are frequently not cross-brand suitable unless they are particularly developed for that function. Understanding the different styles and types of airsoft handguns gives you more insight to how their mags work. A lot of airsoft pistol mags save around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
