Info About Airsoft Gun Magazines
These magazines usually connect to the airsoft weapon similar to the real weapons they are modeled after. The types of airsoft gun magazines consist of real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines.
About Airsoft Weapon Mag Types
Airsoft gun magazines are manufactured in a few kinds like real capacity, mid capacity, and high capacity magazines. These types frequently apply to AEG mags. Real capacity mags, or real-caps, mimic the supply of airsoft BBs a real weapon would keep in shells, which is generally about 24 to 30 airsoft BBs. Mid capability mags, or mid-caps, allow for more airsoft BB space with capacities around 120 to 160 BBs. High capacity mags, or high-caps, offer airsoft gamers the most storage with over 200 rounds of BB storage volume. Something to note about high-cap mags is that airsoft arenas typically limit their use during games because they allow players shooting too much ammo to spray and pray during games.
Info on How Airsoft Magazines Work
Airsoft magazines have a series of internal channels and BB storage spots. The BBs are generally packed into these channels with a spring attached to the very far end. When the BBs are filled, they compress the spring developing stress. On the load end, a little lock holds the BBs in the mag. When a BB is fired, the airsoft gun launches the latch for a split second and loads another BB into the weapon out of the magazine. HPA, GBB, and CO2 guns, which use compressed air or green gas, will often store the gas or feed air in through the magazine. This feeds BBs into the guns for these kinds of systems.
Airsoft Rifle Magazines Details
Airsoft rifle mags are most frequently used in automatic electric guns (AEGs) and some types of sniper rifles. See how airsoft guns work. The magazines 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 placed into the gun’s magazine well.
High-Cap LMG Mag Information
Some airsoft AEGs and squad machine guns use very large capacity magazines. They can hold up to thousands of airsoft BBs and provide massive amounts of suppressive fire for a unit or fireteam during engagements.
Airsoft SMG Magazines Details
Airsoft SMG magazines AEG are also separated by gun model and usable between various 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 varying from around 24 airsoft BBs with real capacity mags to over 200 BBs with high capacity mags. Rifle Magazines for Green Gas and HPA Systems These mags use air and gas to function so the mags often come with builtin gas tanks or pre-tapped for HPA tank hookups. The magazines used in GBB guns store gas in the magazine so the rifle cycles every shot and feeds in the next BB.
Airsoft Handgun Magazines Details
When compared to the AEG mags used in rifles and SMGs, Airsoft handgun magazines are frequently less versatile. Handguns mags differ by type and often use CO2 or green gas (propane) housed in the mag. The magazine is placed into the handgun’s grip like the basic firearm design. Handgun magazines are often interchangeable between similar models of the same airsoft gun maker, however are frequently not cross-brand compatible unless they are specifically created for that purpose. Understanding the various types of airsoft sidearms gives you a better understanding of how their magazines differ. Many airsoft handgun magazines keep around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs.
