KWA M9 Mag Problems

Willoby · 07-21-2010, 06:15 PM

I dont know how to fix the issue with my magazine. I will fill it with gas (i use propane), and then it will only shoot 3 bbs before totally depleting the gas. Ive taken apart the mag, lubed everything but i cannot figure it out. Can anyone help?

What FPS is it shooting at? If it's shooting hot, could be a faulty gas regulator.

It looks as if it shoots full velocity the first two shots, then it dies down and eventually stops firing. Not exactly sure though i dont have a chrono

There's actually a good chance that it's the propane canister. If it's near empty, the pressure can be lower before hitting equilibrium with the tank in the mag, meaning less gas goes in, which equates to fewer shots before running out.

I could be wrong, but try a new canister of propane and see if that fixes the problem. If not, well then I'm definitely wrong. But it couldn't hurt; Worst case scenario you get another tank to use and stock up for future games.

I was having a similar problem when I got mine 2 weeks ago. How long are the bursts that you are putting into the mag and how many do you do?

Same thing has happened to me with my KWA M9, it ended up being an empty gas tank

Yup it was the gas tank, never thought that would have been the problem. Thanks for the help.
