GBB mag unloading

[Enid_Puceflange]

Ok,
It bothers me
I’m now running only gbb replicas, and I’m using waay heavier beebs than I would need to use in any of my previous aeg rifs.
At the end of the day, I’ve maybe got 3 or 4 mags still full of beebs (.36’s and heavier)
If they weren’t expensive, I’d probably not think about just shooting them off at the Chrono range etc, but they are. And getting them shipped to me adds to costs too.
So, being a tight assed Scotsman wanting to save a few quid

How do you empty your gbbr mags at the end of the day?
I now can’t be assed sitting popping them out one by one with an Allen key to re bag them

i pop them out one by one using the adaptor or a 3d printed tool, haven't found anything quicker yet.

depending on the mag/adaptor you can sometimes place it on the mag and wiggle it, which can cause the bbs to shoot out, just gotta be sure you catch them all.

On my MP7 mags, I pop a few out and then use my thumbsaver hook to pull the spring back and turn the mag upside down, this allows the BBs to fall out of the larger gap in the bottom of the mag where I fed them into. Works on Pistol mags too. guess it depends on the mags tho

or something like this maybe, still a ballache but easier than using tools: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/magazine-unloader-for-tm-mws

Now that’s what I’m talking about!
Just need to find something that’ll universally fit gbbr mags
I’m running an OSW & Ghk sg553, both with significant differences in dimensions

I use a old nozzle to pop them out one by one. Can be labour intensive but works and doesn't damage the feed lips.

Not ideal but why not just charge the rif until the mag empties, the bb's shoud just roll out the barrel and leaving 1 to be shot.
the bolt is already designed to remove the bb's without any damage.

The issue with doing it that way you are adding unnecessary wear into the system and overtime it will wear out quicker. Especially the charging handle with isn't designed to be constantly racked.

I generally don't bother , just leave the BBs in there. I've never yet had an issue with mags failing to feed because the spring has been left compressed , and some of them have had BBs in for months over winter .

They flap about on semi & full auto with serious force when shot so I don't believe racking it an inch or so by hand would do much if any damage tbh.

You'd think so but manually cocking you are pulling on one side of the bolt so it's traveling at a angle and causes it to rub on one side. Firing it normally it pushes back straight and less likely to cause the wear of cocking 30 times continuously. You'd be surprised how much extra wear it can cause.
