Extreme blowback gas, the gas from hell?

[bagaroo]

I am rather new to airsoft. As a starter I bought myself a Chinese Meister Glock 17 that I was rather pleased with, nice punch, realism and accuracy. Next step I bought a WE SCAR, which was nice as long it lasted; after approx 10 magazines the classic part # 66 broke (I have ordered, and received a aluminum replacement), was stupid enough to put on part # 66 but shoot without the stock assembly attached and after just 4 shots part # 27 broke in pieces. I have now ordered a reenforced part as a replacement for that as well. While waiting for the parts etc for the SCAR I ordered, and received the WE G39C. I soon suspected that something was not right as a cloud of gas came out of the ejector port every time I fired. It started to "doublefeed", especially when I tried some auto bursts (3-4 rounds per burst) and it had no real power even when fired in semi, I felt that it was something wrong with the nozzle. After only 3 magazines; PFFFFH all gas emptied out of the magazine and it was an awkward sound. I disassembled the gun and found out that the nozzle was broken (I can post photos if anyone would be interested)

 

My question is: I am using a gas called "Extreme blowback gas" (USA and Canada item # 63501) May this gas be to powerful? It works perfect with the Meister Glock 17, but shattered my SCAR ( I really cant relate the damage to the G39C to the gas, I guess that this possibly just was a "lemon" with a defunct nozzle (I have ordered new parts) The temperature was aprox 25 celsius when I did my shooting.

 

I really would appreciate if someone would share their knowledge/experience around this gas type etc (I can also post a photo of the bottle if wanted)

The gas ought to work completely fine, I'd have thought all of those guns would be capable of running with CO2, maybe with the exception of the pistol.

 

I suspect it's something to do with the gun.

 

You ought to know that gas guns are famously unreliable, buying one and expecting it to work flawlessly is simply a pipe dream.

 

I'd advise buying all the RA-Tech made upgrade parts you can for both the WE rifles, if that doesn't sort them then just get them sent somewhere for a more in-depth fault analysis. Ideally the place you bought them from.

 

Might just be a case of needing to lube them up properly.

 

I'm amazed you own 3 gas guns when you say you're a newbie. Gas rifles especially are something everyone I've ever known will advice against for new players. If you want to get into the sport, you'd be better off getting an AEG.

 

The first gun I ever had was a WE gas M16, which was awesome. But the performance was utterly terrible and I ended up sinking over a grand into it before realising it was never going to be as good as I wanted and just went and bought electric guns instead. The step down in realism is a sucker, but once you get over it you'll have a much better, cheaper time.
