Airsoft Magazine https://pts-steelshop.com/collections/airsoft-magazine is packed with articles on the latest guns and accessories. The magazine also covers a range of interesting topics such as gun upgrades and maintenance.
There are many types of airsoft magazines on the market. Some are designed to fit multiple brands while others are specific to a particular platform of gun.
High Capacity Magazines
Many airsoft players like to use magazines that have a similar capacity as the firearm it replicates. This is especially true for those that play military simulation games (Mil-Sim).
Some states have bans on high capacity magazines, but these don’t affect the ability of a weapon to function properly. Moreover, restricting magazine capacities won’t prevent mass shootings, which are almost always committed with semi-automatic guns and a large amount of ammunition.
High-capacity magazines have become a hot topic in the wake of recent mass shootings in Sutherland Springs, Texas; Parkland, Florida; and Christchurch, New Zealand. However, current restrictions on magazines are misguided, based on several common misconceptions.
Mid Capacity Magazines
If you’re into realism and want to avoid extra noise that can occur when the magazine is moving around in your gun or if you play in a field with bushes, trees and foliage then the Mid Cap magazines are perfect for you. These magazines are less bulky than a high capacity magazine and use a traditional spring system that works by transferring BBs from the loading tool into the magazine via a plunger/follower.
The BBs are then pushed back out into the magazine when it is inserted into your airsoft gun. It is the most popular type of magazine used by experienced airsoft players because it offers a happy medium between BB capacity and sound and realism.
The mid cap magazine does require a little more maintenance as the springs can wear out over time which can cause misfeeds and jams and the plunger/follower needs to be inspected regularly for wear. It is important to replace your mag when this happens because if you keep using a worn magazine it could damage your airsoft gun.
Magazine Adapters
Many people buy airsoft pistols with the intention of reloading them for maximum firepower and efficiency. But swapping magazines takes time, especially in a combat situation. This is why a magazine adapter can be so helpful. Long-wearing magazine extenders made of resilient polymer slip over full-size magazines and provide shooters with increased capacity for their compact guns. Some are secured with a screw while others snap into place without tools.
These adapters are also a great way to save money on expensive green gas containers. The way they work is simple: When you’re ready to reload, simply apply pressure to the magazine and wait about 10 seconds for it to return to its liquefied state before applying more pressure to extract gas from the container.
Some adapters also act as a natural over-insertion stop to prevent damaging your gun’s internals by using oversized magazines with smaller pistols. They’re also designed to be easy to install, snapping into place firmly over the base plate of your gun’s magazine.
Magazine Reviews
Airsoft Magazine are a big part of the fun when playing airsoft. Having the right magazine for your gun can help you stay in the game longer and make sure that you are not left out of any action.
A hi-cap mag is the most common type of magazine used by airsofters. Typically these magazines use a trap door to pour in BBs then have a gear/wheel on the bottom that will wind up and feed BBs through your gun as you shoot them.
These magazines are very popular and can be found in many different guns. They are great for when you want to be more accurate and can keep shooting without having to reload as much.
These are very similar to mid-cap magazines but hold a lot more BBs. These are great for when you are going to be using a sniper or assault rifle and need to have a large amount of rounds to last the whole game.
