I had 8 loaded AK midcaps in storage for about 3 years. Got it out this year, all 8 feed just fine.

Heck i think its even illegal to store ammo and guns in the same safe unless they are locked seperately.
For airsoft say you get pulled over. Its one thing to be loaded up with guns mags and bbs. But to have pre loaded mags could show intent to use said guns befor even reaching the field. A replica they are not but they are considered a type of firearm (uncontroled firearm) and should/could be subject to the same laws and regulations surrounding other guns. To save potential hassels show up 45min or an hour early and load at the field if your able to. Otherwise mind your p's and q's while driving to the field to avoid bein pulled over and potentially searched. Just my penny and a half.

There are RS guys who have left AR15 mags loaded for years at a time with no feeding issues.

I wouldn't leave airsoft mags loaded for years but a few weeks should be fine.

I occasionally forget to empty all my loaded mags after a game. I come back two weeks later, empty the mag, reload, and have had no feeding issues.

The only feeding issues I've had with mags, come with issues from day one.
