Cyma Magazine CM700 Sniper Rifle 20rds Black

The CYMA Magazine CM700 Sniper Rifle 20rds Black is a compact spare magazine for the CYMA CM.700 series, based on the M40/M40A3 sniper platform. With a practical capacity of approximately 20 BBs, this magazine is ideal as a spare for players who do not want to have to reload their only magazine every time during a skirmish.

The magazine operates entirely mechanically, using an internal mainspring, and is specifically designed for the spring-powered CYMA CM700 bolt-action sniper rifles. There is therefore no gas reservoir, battery or winding mechanism: simply load it, insert it into the replica and operate the bolt after each shot.

Thanks to its compact size, the magazine is almost completely concealed within the lower part of the replica. This keeps the CM700’s profile sleek and prevents a large magazine from protruding from beneath the rifle.

Specially designed for the CYMA CM700 / M40 series

The CYMA C110 magazine has been developed for the CM.700 series.

CYMA itself lists the C110 as a storage unit for several CM700 variants, including the CM700A and other models in the same series. 

The magazine design is specifically tailored to the M40-based CYMA platform. Consequently, this magazine should not be confused with magazines for other popular bolt-action systems such as:

• VSR-10
• Long Range / Airborne Weapon System
• M24
• Ares Striker
• SSG series
• APS M40 systems

These replicas may look similar on the outside, but internally they use different magazine designs, feed positions and magazine catches.

Approximately 20 BBs capacity

For this specific online shop configuration, we maintain a capacity of 20 BBs.

This is well suited to the use of a bolt-action sniper rifle. As each BB is fired individually and the bolt must be operated manually between each shot, a magazine generally lasts considerably longer than with an AEG.

As a result, two or three extra magazines in a pouch quickly provide enough ammunition for a full round of play without having to use a speedloader on the field straight away.

Another advantage of the relatively low number of BBs is that the warehouse can remain compact.

Low-capacity spring-loaded system

The C110 magazine operates on the basis of a simple spring-loaded low-cap principle.

The BBs are pushed towards the feed lips by an internal follower and a spring. As soon as the bolt of the CM700 is operated, a BB is fed from the magazine towards the hop-up chamber.

There is no winding wheel as found on a Hi-Cap, and there are no large quantities of BBs loose in the magazine.

This means that the magazine makes virtually no rattling noise when moved and is well suited to a sniper role, where unnecessary noise is best avoided.

Compact design

A key feature of this warehouse is its highly compact design.

Once fitted, it sits almost entirely within the underside of the stock. As a result, the CM700 retains a low, streamlined profile.

This is particularly useful when playing from a prone position. This is because a large, protruding magazine can come into contact with the ground or your kit whilst shooting whilst lying down.

With the CM700, that problem is limited.

ABS/polymer construction

Specialised product information states that the C110 magazine has an ABS casing and weighs approximately 45 grams. 

The low weight is a bonus when carrying several spare magazines. Even four or five magazines add relatively little weight to a sniper loadout.

Furthermore, the plastic construction is well suited to this type of warehouse, as it does not require heavy gas cylinders, CO₂ cartridges or metal casings.

Loading with a speedloader

We recommend using a standard airsoft speedloader for reloading.

Carefully position the outlet of the speedloader against the feed opening and load the magazine in a controlled manner.

With a new magazine, the internal spring may feel slightly stiffer. Do not force the last BBs through once you feel clear maximum resistance.

A common cause of problems with small sniper magazines is not a faulty magazine, but simply trying to load one BB too enthusiastically.

Simple spare magazine for sniper use

For a bolt-action sniper, an extra magazine is a relatively small investment that can prove surprisingly handy during a skirmish.

When the magazine is empty, it can be replaced immediately, rather than having to use a speed loader whilst out in the field.

A second or third pre-loaded magazine is much more practical, particularly when you’re wearing gloves, lying low in the undergrowth or need to change position quickly.

Thanks to their light weight, several C110 magazines can easily be carried in a small utility pouch or sniper magazine pouch.

Practical insights

With a spring-powered sniper rifle, reliable feeding is more important than a huge magazine capacity.

You should therefore always check after purchase that each BB feeds smoothly and that the magazine locks correctly into the replica.

You should also use high-quality BBs. Sniper rifles are usually used with relatively heavy precision BBs, and poor-quality or misshapen BBs can negatively affect both feeding and hop-up performance.

For longer-term storage, it is advisable to keep the magazine empty. This ensures that the internal spring is not kept fully compressed for any longer than necessary.

Please note the different capacity specifications

There are various figures circulating regarding the capacity of the CYMA C110 warehouse.

The exact Airsoftzone listing states 20 BBs, and AirsoftShop also lists the CM-C110 as a 20-BB magazine. However, CYMA itself lists C110 28rds for certain CM700 replicas, whilst a TaiwanGun technical table states 30 BBs. 

That is why we have deliberately chosen to use 20 BBs as the guaranteed online shop capacity for this product page.

In practice, an individual magazine may be able to hold slightly more BBs, but it is better to state a safe, usable capacity rather than a theoretical maximum that can only be reached by fully compressing the spring

Who is the CYMA CM700 magazine suitable for?

Frequently Asked Questions

How many BBs will fit in this storage unit?
For this specific product listing, we’ve set the limit at 20 BBs.

Why do I also see 28 or 30 BBs listed online?
There are conflicting publicly available specifications. CYMA lists the C110 in certain CM700 replicas as 28rds, whilst some retailers state 30 BBs. Consequently, 20 BBs is the safest capacity to adhere to for this online shop version. 

Which replica is the magazine designed for?
The magazine has been developed for the CYMA CM700 series, based on the M40/M40A3 platform.

Does it fit in every M40 airsoft sniper rifle?
No. “M40” refers to the platform and appearance, but different airsoft manufacturers use different magazine systems.

Does it fit in a VSR-10?
This magazine is specifically designed for the CYMA CM700 platform and is not marketed as a universal VSR-10 magazine.

Is this a Hi-Cap?
No. It is a compact, spring-loaded sniper magazine without an internal BB reservoir or winding wheel.

Does the magazine need to be wound up?
No. The BBs are pushed upwards directly by an internal spring.

Is this a gas magazine?
No. The magazine does not contain a gas reservoir. The CYMA CM700 is a manually cocked, spring-powered bolt-action replica.

How do I load the magazine?
The easiest way is to use a suitable airsoft speedloader via the magazine’s feed opening.

What material is it made of?
A specialist retailer specifies ABS for the warehouse.

How much does the magazine weigh?
A specialist product listing states approximately 45 grams. The catalogue weight of 3.6 kg is clearly not the actual weight of a single magazine.

Is an extra magazine useful for a bolt-action sniper?
Yes. With several pre-loaded magazines, you don’t have to keep reloading with a speed loader during a round, so you can get back into the action more quickly.

The CYMA Magazine CM700 Sniper Rifle 20rds Black is a compact and lightweight spare magazine for the CYMA CM700/M40 series, ideal for snipers who wish to carry several pre-loaded magazines in their loadout.
