Description
Lancer Tactical 28rd GBB Magazine for Cthulhu / AAP-01 / G-Series / EU7 / EU8
This is a Lancer Tactical 28-round gas magazine for gas blowback pistols, listed as fitting the Lancer Tactical Cthulhu, the Action Army AAP-01, G-Series pistols and EU7 and EU8 pistols. Spare magazines are essential for gas pistols, letting you rotate warm, full magazines and keep shooting through a game.
Lancer Tactical makes a wide range of affordable airsoft replicas and accessories, and its Cthulhu is a popular competition-styled pistol that shares its magazine pattern with the AAP-01 and many G-series style pistols, which makes this magazine a useful spare for several platforms.
Build and capacity
The name gives a 28-round capacity, and a European retailer also lists the Lancer Tactical Cthulhu magazine at 28 rounds. A UK retailer listing for the shorter 24-round Lancer Tactical magazine for the Cthulhu and AAP-01 describes an alloy body, high-density polymer feed lips and follower, a steel feed spring, brass valves and rubber O-rings; we expect similar construction here, but please check the photos.
The magazine holds both gas and BBs, so it acts as the pistol’s power source. A slightly longer magazine gives more capacity and a little more gas, which helps on long games.
Using it
Fill through the valve in the baseplate with the magazine inverted and the can held as its instructions describe, in short bursts. Load BBs through the feed lips by hand or with a speed loader and pistol adapter, then insert the magazine firmly until the catch engages. Test it at a safe backstop before relying on it in a game.

Compatibility
Listed for the Lancer Tactical Cthulhu, Action Army AAP-01, G-Series and EU7 and EU8 pistols. G-series style magazines vary between makers, and the 24-round version’s retailer suggests staying in-brand for best results, so please check with us if you want to use it in another pistol. Use green gas or the gas recommended for your pistol, and good quality seamless 6mm BBs.
Care and maintenance
The retailer listing for the 24-round version notes that lubrication is required: put a drop of silicone oil on the fill valve and seals every few fills, and store the magazine with a little gas in it so the seals stay seated. Do not overfill.
Keep the feed lips and follower free of grit, wipe the outside with a lightly oiled cloth if it gets wet, and keep magazines away from heat and direct sunlight.
Who is it for?
Owners of the Lancer Tactical Cthulhu, Action Army AAP-01 and compatible G-series or EU-series pistols who want an extra magazine for longer games.
Please note: Gas and BBs are not included. Always wear suitable eye and face protection when using airsoft replicas, and check your site’s rules and power limits before play.
