leaky mag???

yauvito · July 16th, 2005, 15:14

I'm new to airsoft, so what are some symptoms of the leaky magazine? I have a tokyo marui M92 tactical master, and I fill the mag to the fullest and It only fires 1 shot and it doesn't shoot after that, and sometimes it fires a very weak shot. and when I take out the mag and refills it, there are still room for more gas. Does this mean the magazine is leaking? How do you tell and how can I fix this?

Mag leaks are usually slow and gradual; a full mag could empty out in an hour or more, not in seconds. How are you filling your mag?

FYI this should be in the Doctor's Corner section.

What are you filling it with? please make sure you are using lubercant. (silcon shock oil 10W) Also are you filling it correct as in the bottle upside down? the liquid has to go into the mag on just air.

If the mag was leaking you'd hear a whole lot of hissing.
If it's leeking slowly, the hiss will be alot quieter but will still be present but will definitely not empty out in 1 shot.

To check if it's leaking, fill up your mag as much as you can and dunk it in water. Watch for the bubbles and where they come from.

Do make sure you're loading the mag right. (Gas container nozzle pointing down)
