Action Army AAP-01 Lightweight 50 Round Magazine

The standard AAP-01 magazine holds twenty-three. This holds fifty, which is the difference between reloading twice in a firefight and not reloading at all. It runs on green gas and Action Army have kept it to 220 g despite the extra length.

That weight figure is the interesting part. An extended magazine normally means a noticeably nose-heavy pistol once it is loaded, and 220 g for a fifty-round gas magazine is light for what it is.

It is also listed as compatible with Tokyo Marui and WE Glocks, so if you run a Glock alongside the AAP it covers both.

Specifications

Good to know before you buy

Green gas, not CO2. It is listed as a green gas magazine and nothing suggests otherwise.

It protrudes below the frame, which is what the extra thirty rounds cost you. Check your holster and your magazine pouches take the extra length.

Two hundred and twenty grams loaded onto the bottom of a light pistol changes the balance. Most people like it; some do not.

If you want the capacity without the length, the drum magazine is a different answer at a different price.

Can I run CO2 in it?
It is listed as a green gas magazine. Do not put CO2 in it.
