    Hi folks, brand new to this so please have patience :P

    Quick query re the above, just got it from MIA (I'm now aware that I should have gone for an AEG before a pistol however we shall conveniently forget to discuss that). Just filled her up with gas and let off a mag.

    Problem was only the first shot contained a BB. The mag was emptying, the gun firing, but the bb was staying put in the barrel until cocked and then I;d get one more good shot before the problem continued until cocked again.

    Is this a hop-up issue, or more to do with the fact that I haven't lubricated it yet? Or could the gun just be a total dud?

    Would appreciate advice folks, go easy please :D

    Oh and now the slide is stayign locked back just a half cm and the gas is just pouring out. Ive inhaled about 3 mags worth of the stuff :P

    Had the same problem fixed it easy
    Its happened twice lol Once due to over oiling (yeah Iam a noob:rolleyes:)
    the second time i had to tighten the screw that holds the loading muzzle in place
    if this peice is loose the gas just spews out or doesnt go back far enough
    to load. If neither of these work then its probably the mag at which point you should bring it back cos there F all spare mags for thios moddel trust me

    If it's still under warranty, bring it back. They'll sort it out for you.
    Whatever you do, just don't try fix it yourself beforehand. They're nice guys there, they'll sort it out easily.
