totoyeahwhat123 4 Posted May 9, 2014 Just got this Well MP5K/g55 from a friend. However, what gas does it use? He doesn't know, and google just says gas.. Is it red or green or what? Also, how do I stop the leaking? All 3 mags it came with leaks. Can I just buy some mags from other manurfactors? Would they still work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Monkey Nuts 752 Posted May 10, 2014 Google is your friend for this one. There are some really good guides out there for it. The well magazine is very well know as being built by blind fish. Almost nothing in it was made the right size. They can leak from 3 places, the top, the middle and the bottom and repairs range from simply a ptfe fest or soaking the O ring to epoxy and shortening the magazine altogether. It's a fair bit of DIY to make them almost barely usable. Hence why they are so cheeep. Gas wise you are going to lose most if it anyway so don't go filling with any fancy stuff just yet till you fix the magazine leaks. Just normal abbey green gas will be fine for now. You could run a few mags of abbey maintenance gas fist, just to lube the mag and gun see if that help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Airsoft-Ed 2,058 Posted May 10, 2014 No other manufacturers make mags that will work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Monkey Nuts 752 Posted May 10, 2014 As ED says no other brand will work, because it's a direct clone of the maruzen (sp?). If you can find their mags then you may have some luck. However they are out of production and most of the internet can't find any so will prolly end up costing you more than the gun did, and there is no guaantee they still won't leak, as they are the same design. It all comes down to a flawed design, copied and then built very badly. Hence the low price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
totoyeahwhat123 4 Posted May 10, 2014 Does there exist a video or some pics showing how you fix it? Tried some text guides, and I'm lost. No idea what to do, and the gun sounds like it's useless now... I'm thinking airsoft is not worth it. Seems like nothing works. No matter what it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TacMaster 1,234 Posted May 10, 2014 You've just had a bad experience with a gas gun, that's all....gas weapons are high maintenance, so they're not recommended for new players. you're better off staying on the airsoft scene with renting etc until you have enough to buy a decent AEG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

remus 172 Posted May 11, 2014 its probably gonna depend on why/where from the mag is leaking. in theory gas mags should be of similar design just differing shapes and sizes for the guns. problem being if its not well made itll take more to fix... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
