Need help firstly don't know make and model 

Secondly

When I fill up with gas and fire the the slid only moves a short amount bounces back and continues to do this until the trigger is released( even as I release it carries on ) but never sliding enough to pick up a round just puzzled if I cock it it picks up fires then continues doing  the same thing what's your thorts ? Thanks

Take the slide off and silicon grease the rails they run on. Plenty of youtube guides showing you how to do this. That's the first thing I'd do regardless of any further advice. It the slide rails are bone dry then the slide wont go anywhere.

What gas are you using? Is the slide metal or plastic?

WD40 would not be thick enough to be very effective for a slide. Pick up some true 100% silicon oil instead.

Is the slide metal or plastic and what gas are you using now? Are you filling the mag with gas correctly? (Bottle nozzle pointing towards ground?)

Green gas pointing down  and metal slide 

Its not wd40 its their specialist lubricant silicon but I'll pick some plain silicon up soon thanks 

 
For metal to metal, I use 3-in-1 oil or a drop of lightweight motor oil if you have any to hand.  Silicone is great for plastic or rubber, but metal to metal just needs any sort of slip-and-slide gloop.

That said, any sort of lube should do the trick short term.

Does the slide feel like it's catching at all?

If not, how long are you gassing the mag for?  You can't over-gas it - it'll stop filling when it equalises pressure with the can.

Is there any sound or smell of gas leaking from the mag?
