How to Put BBs in L85A2 Clips

The L85A2 airsoft rifle is a reproduction of the famous rear magazine mounted SA80 used by British military forces. Designed as an AEG (Automatic Electric Gun) to use an internally mounted battery pack, the L85A2 fires .20 mm diameter plastic BB projectiles. The airsoft BBs are loaded into a magazine that is then inserted into the magazine tube of the rifle for use. Loading airsoft BBs into the magazine is necessary before shooting the rifle.
