Genuine WE spare magazine

This is the factory green gas magazine for the WE F228 and F229 gas blowback pistols, WE’s compact SIG P228 / P229 style replicas. It drops straight in with no fitting or modification, making it the easy choice for players who want a dependable spare rather than a generic aftermarket unit.

Full metal build

The body is full metal alloy, giving it real heft in the grip and helping the reservoir hold pressure for more consistent gas blowback shot to shot. The metal feed lips resist the wear that can cause misfeeds on cheaper magazines, so it keeps cycling cleanly session after session.

Capacity and performance

It holds 24 rounds of 6mm BB and runs on standard airsoft green gas. Fed by a high-tension follower spring, it delivers reliable semi-automatic feeding within the sub-1 joule power band typical of UK green gas pistols.

Why carry a spare

Green gas pistols empty fast in a firefight, so a second magazine lets you reload instantly instead of standing around refilling. Keep one charged on your rig and stay in the game. Browse more spares in our airsoft accessories range.

Care tips

Store the magazine with a small amount of gas left in to keep the seals lubricated, and add a drop of silicone oil to the fill valve every few refills to prolong seal life.

Frequently asked questions

Which airsoft pistols does this magazine fit?

It is designed for the WE F228 and F229 gas blowback pistols, which are WE's SIG P228 / P229 style replicas. It is not compatible with WE M9 / M92 Beretta-pattern pistols.

Does it run on green gas or CO2?

This is a green gas magazine. Fill it with standard airsoft green gas or top gas, not CO2. Give it a two to three second charge and let it settle before your first shot.

How many BBs does it hold?

The standard WE F228 magazine holds 24 rounds of 6mm BB. Some later production runs are listed at 26 rounds, but 24 is the common capacity for this model.

Is the magazine full metal?

Yes. The body and feed lips are full metal alloy, which adds weight for a realistic feel and helps the magazine hold gas pressure consistently between shots.

Do I need a UKARA defence to buy a spare magazine?

No. A spare magazine is an accessory, so no UKARA or two-tone defence is required. You will only need a valid defence when buying the realistic imitation firearm itself.
