[Brand new KJW 1911 expels all gas when fired]

Sending back is a last resort atm, would like to fix but contacted the seller, just waiting for a reply.

[Brand new KJW 1911 expels all gas when fired]

Just bought this gun and it arrived today. I have loaded it with BB's and green gas and fired it.

 

On firing, one BB is fired but all the gas is ejected out of the mag from the barrell of the gun.

 

I think the valve knocker is not leaving the mag, causing it to lose all of the gas. Unfortunately I don't know how to fix it.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

[Awesome day today, just some quick and dirty footage]

Excellent item and couldn't be more pleased. The seller was very descriptive and helpful and made extra effort to dispatch the item ASAP. Would happily deal with again and as a newcomer to the forum, he made the whole experience a very smooth process.

Fly By - Aerial Video & Photography was filming some of the game with a UAV and an action cam. He also took a lot of photos too. You can see them here on YouTube:

[G&G G96 bolts 'valve knocker' not sitting properly]

You can see how it sits in this image http://i.imgur.com/806k98k.jpg

As far as I can tell it should push all the way forward into that space where you can just make out the spring.

My sniper is not firing because no gas is being released from the mag. The lever within the trigger does not push out against the magazine when the gun is cocked. This is because the valve knocker in the bolt does not go far enough forward to push against the lever. I have taken it apart to see what I can change but I am unsure.

I have played with the bolt a lot and I cant see how to fix it, this might not be a common problem but if anyone owns this gun I would be grateful for any advice or photos on how the valve knocker mechanism works.

Any help would be much appreciated.
