Double-barelled shotgun shells leaking

[Irish(Brett)]

Hey, so I just bought a sawed off double barelled shotgun, which I'm already well aware is going to need lots of work on it for the body which I'm working on now, however I don't know how to fix the shells, currently 3 out of 4 don't work, and it's not exactly a common type of gas type magazine...anyone out there who can help?

What's not working about them? What brand? What you've said is kinda like saying "my car won't start" and expecting someone to tell you the problem just like that without seeing the car.

Mitch dont be a d*ck Only one company makes a double barrel shotgun and thats WA-SHAN. It uses gas injected shells.


Ok so...

shells dont hold gas? or shells wont fire bb's?

If they hold gas but dont fire, the firing pin on the SHOTGUN is broken. NOT the shells. (more than likely)

If the shells wont hold gas, take them apart and soak the rubber O-rings in some silicone oil. (available right here on ASC!)

Let them sit for a good 30 minutes. Be sure not to get them dirty as you remove them. Let them dryout partially on a clean cloth.

Reassemble shell in question, give it a try?


Now if ALL the shells hold gas, and only one of them fires (every time).....you've defied the laws of airsoft and i'll leave it to somone who knows what they're talking about to help you. (shell valve return fail? I really dont know)

Man-boy fight!

Those guns are notorious for
having badly designed shells
that can't hold a seal for shit.

PM— Murdoch, he spent much
time analyzing and fixing his.
Don't know if he found a perfect
solution, but he did get them
holding temporarily.

thanks for the tips, and yeah, only one shell actually holds the gas, the rest can't hold the gas, or not enough to fire them, but the seal seems airtight between the valve and the shell casing, there doesn't seem to be any obvious way of taking apart the shells, i've done it lots with my gbb magazines, never done it with this before

The shells weren't designed to be used with Green Gas let alone Propane.

Try duster gas, the lower pressure should go easy on the seals in the shells.

To check your firing pin, open the action and squeeze both triggers (make sure safety has been disengaged) if you see two pin things sticking out of the hole a fair bit, thetips should be round than your firing pins are OKAY!

The pins break if you are squeezing the trigger and try to slam the action close like with a real double barrel shotgun and there are shells loaded into the barrel.
