So, I am a new player, when I say new, I mean a 16 year old who started airsoft when he was 15 which was around 10 months ago when first started. I only play with a Nuprol Delta Pioneer Defender and looking to upgrade to a better gun. I also have the dreaded Nuprol Raven EU18. When I mean dreaded I mean, what is going on. The local shop to me Allsorts Airsoft, they stock a lot of Nuprol stuff and recommend literally everything Nuprol. The problem I have is that over time I bought 4 of these £25 pistol magazines which always leak. Its my first GBB and even getting gas magazines new out the box they already leak.
I am honestly scared, I do all the maintenance you are supposed to do like leave a little bit of gas in them, silicone the O-Rings, they always leak from this specific O-Ring located on the inside on the inlet valve, all of them have the same issue, no other O-Ring has broken or leaked since the time I have had these magazines. I am beginning to think that its Nuprol themselves wanting people to buy the O-Ring refill pack over and over again. According to the shop, I am the only person with this issue, I am not since there were times where I went in and the technician is also changing an O-Ring on a raven mag, they say its just me and I mean... I am a new player, not new but still on beginner level kit and I want to get another and better Gas gun or even go the HPA route but knowing my luck with these O-Rings, everything will leak and the HPA tank will just blow up on me haha.
I don't know if it's only me and I do not know if I should even bother with gas as this is again my first pistol and only pistol right now and I am scared if I get another from a better brand like WE, will they all leak again? Also what are the sizes of the big O-Rings on the inlet valve if that is something you know haha?
Thank you for reading,
