Could be a multitude of things.

Basic fault diagnosis is what did you change immediately before it started to malfunction?

Then, do you know how to fill the mags correctly, and what gas are you using?

 

[SBoardley]

Have you tried lube the slide lugs?

 

[Shamal]

You have time to strip it down remove any old contaminated grease and regrease. It can't hurt and it may help.?

Done nothing to change it i just bought it out the holster and it was doing what it did in the video and so i lubed it i used spray silicone oil and it worked for a few seconds and then went back to doing that

Yeah ive done with spray lube and superlube

Done that too

But have you filled the mag correctly, with the correct gas?

What was the last thing you did immediately AFTER it last worked?

I racked the slide back pulled the mag out drained the gas then put it back in my british army dpm holster

So are you sure you getting a good gas seal, as leaving gas mags empty is a bad idea?

What gas are you using btw?

Looks like there's not enough gas pressure. Is the mag leaking? Fill it and put it under water,  look for bubbles. 

How long ago did you put it away?

the vorsk v6 175 psi also theres no leak on the mags and since i have shit tons of silicone i decided to seal up the o ring on the mag to just make sure

like its been away for a week maybe i always take it out and shoot like 4-5 shots every once in a while tho

It’s light striking because the gas pressure is too high inside the mag.

The high pressure won’t allow the hammer to open the release valve  for long enough.

Try it with Nuprol Green or white

Hmmm, its a WE Hi-Power MK3

Its quite likely the striker mechanism has broken.  They are notoriously fragile unfortunately.

Take the slide off and check there's nothing loose or obviously broken in the lower part by the hammer.

If it looks OK then try purging the magazine of air.

-Prepare to fill the mag with gas as normal (Can on top, mag underneath)

-Hold in the release valve. (Yes, its awkward)

-Start to fill and after half a second let go of the release valve so it fills normally. (Be careful to keep fingers away from the exhaust port as it will get very cold)

i heard about how bad they were when i bought one but its such a nice looking gun and wouldve finished my 1980s iranian seige loadout but he valve knocker is still there and not snapped as everytime i put a mag in i locked the slide back (like it says in the instructions but many people forget to do it and end up snapping the knocker off )

tried what u said tho didnt seem to work

 

[EDcase]

Yeah its such a pity no one else makes one considering how popular it was and how many variations of other guns there are.

Sorry, all out of ideas then.

And? It’s now a lot hotter, and that gas is shit.

if you’re not prepared to try, I can’t help any further, sorry
