I got the gun for 1 month ( a Walther P38 BB Co2 ) and I shot 2 Co2 capsules with it. Now, when I try to insert the capsule I screw it in until I hear a "hissss" sound. After that, I screw it a little bit more so it can "close", seal idk how to say it. But the problem is that the more I screw it in, the "hisss" sound becomes louder and more Co2 leaks out. If I want to screw it until the end, even MORE Co2 comes out and I tried this with 3 capsules and it happens all over again. Am I not doing it right or is something broken?

Thanks!

Sounds like you have lost the o-ring that seals it or it has perished due to the cold

Wana edit the title with the gun so others can find this thread easier? :)

 
Is it missing or just as a preventive measure?

 
Ok thanks but next time I load it, how should I do it right? I don't want to repeat my mistake.

 
just follow the instructions. Try putting an o-ring over the needle before putting in the CO2 bulb though.

 
ahh good spot, have used all my Google-Fu so will accept defeat and admit that I can't find any CO2 vids that actually show 6mm BBs, just the link from SoF I originally posted. Not heard of them as a retailer, are they known to get it wrong a lot? Will try avoid using them if so.

They're now better than they used to be, but they still do list a fair few bits of .177 stuff as airsoft when it most definitely isn't. They're great for clothing and chinese accessories like clone headsets/ptts etc, but anything else i'd suggest going elsewhere.
