    Hopefully someone can help me, I got a CO2 pistol today and im having problems with it. First of all one capsule of CO2 will just about last for one mag (25BB's) Secondly, half way through the mag the bb's stop firing. Does this normally happen or is it a problem with the gun?

    The mag could be leaking, or you aren't inserting the CO2 cartridge fast enough.

    First time i didn't put it in fast enough but next time i did. Started firing and after bout 6 rounds the gun kept firing but the bb's stopped. got it going again but it wouldn't fire the last 3. fired one more after that and the gas ran out. Tried a third CO2 and the same thing happened.

    put some silicon spray on the slide and mating surfaces - friction can play a huge part in these problems.

    after that, I'd suspect that the mag has a slow leak - you may barely be able to hear it but it's enough to lead to a significant loss of pressure and to the cartridge cooling down - which will decrease pressure farther.
