PeterMor Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 I recently got a WE Hi Capa Full Metal 5.1 Gas Blowback Pistol from a friend who no longer was using it. Now wehnever I load the magazines and charge them it will only fire 3 shots and then stops. This happens everytime and since I'm new to airsoft I dont know where to start. Any thoughts on how I can fix this?

Corey Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 make sure the mags are room temp to mildly warm. make sure you are filling them upside down.... I made that mistake when i got mine. could only get about 5 shots, then itd be empty. Fill them upside down, works like a charm.
Duane Thomas Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Propane under pressure is actually a liquid - shake your Green Gas/propane canister, you can hear it sloshing around - then as the pressure lessens it expands and vaporizes into a gas. Anyway, for the purposes of loading the magazine what this means is that the canister needs to be held upside down, i.e. bottle up, metal tip down, so the liquid can be shot into the magazine. Trying "loading" the mag with the bottle down, metal tip up, and the liquid you need to be shooting into the mag is down in the bottom of the bottle instead of down around the metal tip where it needs to be to actually exit the canister. As Corey put it, load you mags upside down. Works like a charm.
PeterMor Posted January 19, 2010 Author Posted January 19, 2010 Thanks for the info I'll make sure to load the mag with the bottle down tonight and see if that helps.
Duane Thomas Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Bottle up, tip down. Mag lips down, floorplate up.
PeterMor Posted January 20, 2010 Author Posted January 20, 2010 Pretty sure it will. You were right Duane that did help, but I still ran into an issue where it would stop after about 10 BBs, turned out that the magazine was leaking from the charging screw in the bottom so I tightend that up and it's working like a champ now. I just need to get myself a few more mags now Thanks for your help with this
