Airsoft magazines are just as crucial as the gun itself. Whether you're looking for high-cap magazines for long engagements or mid-cap magazines for realism, we’ve got you covered.
Explore our wide selection and find the right magazine for your airsoft weapon!
Airsoft magazines come in various types, each with different capacities and mechanics:
High-cap magazines: Hold 200–600 BBs and use a winding wheel to feed BBs. Ideal for sustained fire, though they can rattle when you move.
Mid-cap magazines: Popular among serious players. Hold 70–150 BBs, quieter in use, and require a speedloader to fill.
Low-cap magazines: Hold 30–70 BBs and are used for milsim and realistic scenarios, mimicking real firearm capacity.
Drum and electric magazines: Hold over 1000 BBs, often used with support weapons like LMGs. Can be battery-powered or manual.
Choosing the right airsoft magazine
Key factors to consider when selecting a magazine:
Weapon type: Make sure the magazine is compatible with your platform – e.g., M4, AK, G36 – and matches your system: AEG, GBB, or spring-powered.
Capacity: Want longer shooting? Go with high-cap. Prefer realism? Choose mid-cap or low-cap.
Game rules: Milsim events often limit you to mid/low-cap magazines to promote realism. Always check the event rules.
Manufacturers and fitment
Different brands may have slight design differences. Even if a magazine is made for a specific platform, slight variations can affect performance. Some guns are pickier than others – you may need to fine-tune fitment.
Airsoft magazine maintenance
Keep your magazines in top condition with these tips:
Cleaning: Use compressed air or a brush to remove dirt and debris.
Lubrication: Apply silicone oil lightly to the spring mechanism when needed.
Storage: For mid- and low-cap magazines, release spring tension before storage to avoid wear.
Loading and using your mags
High-cap magazines: Fill through the top hatch and wind the wheel to feed. Rewind after every 50–100 shots.
Mid-/low-cap magazines: Use a speedloader for quick and proper filling.
In-game use: Carry multiple magazines and practice fast reloads. Mid-/low-caps require more frequent reloads.
