Description
ICS Vulture Series Gas Magazine (Thick Base – 15 Rounds – AK-73)
This is a spare gas magazine for ICS Vulture series gas blowback pistols, with a thick base plate. It holds 15 rounds according to this listing. Spare magazines are one of the most useful upgrades for any gas pistol: more magazines means less time stopping to refill and reload, and in cooler weather you can rotate them so there is always a warm, filled magazine ready to go.
The thick base plate gives you a larger, firmer surface to grip when drawing the magazine from a pouch and seating it in the pistol, which is helpful when you are reloading in a hurry or wearing gloves. Code AK-73.
How it works
The magazine is both the gas reservoir and the BB feed for the pistol. Gas is filled through the valve in the base, and BBs are loaded into the top of the magazine. When the pistol fires, gas from the magazine propels the BB and cycles the slide. Vulture series magazines are listed as green gas magazines.
Using spare magazines
Fill your magazines shortly before you play, so they are at a good temperature. In colder weather, keep spare magazines in an inside pocket and swap them regularly, as a cold magazine loses pressure and the pistol may cycle more slowly. Do not empty a magazine in rapid fire if you can avoid it; short pauses let the gas recover.

Compatibility
For ICS Vulture series gas blowback pistols, such as the BLE-VULTURE. Check the product images and your pistol’s model before ordering. Fill with the gas specified in your pistol’s manual and use quality 6mm BBs.
Care and maintenance
Put a drop of silicone oil on the fill valve and seals regularly to keep them supple, and store the magazine with a little gas inside so the seals stay sealed. Never overfill it: fill in short bursts with the can upright and stop when gas begins to escape. Keep the feed lips clean and only use clean, seamless BBs. If the magazine starts to leak, check the seals before use.
Who is it for?
This magazine is for ICS Vulture series pistol owners who want an extra magazine with a thick, easy-to-grip base for longer games and faster reloads.
