Shamal Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Can you hear gas escaping from mag? Are you filling mag with gas properly? How do you mean when you say the rest are dropping out of barrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted March 21, 2021 Supporters Share Posted March 21, 2021 sounds like a fill issue, the makarov does have pretty bad cooldown but indoors you should still be able to make it halfway through the mag before it starts really struggling.

EDcase Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Are you filling properly with the gas can pointing down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hear any gas escaping and I'm filling it properly pointing down and its just like they roll out the barrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Does it keep shooting without the BBs coming out or does it run out of gas pressure after a couple of shots? Would be ideal if you can make a video of the process of filling the mag and shooting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamal Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Silly question and I don't want to sound condescending but are you filling mag out of gun. Perhaps you could try adjusting hop until it just holds bb in hop unit.🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

da182 Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 I don’t think it’s the magazine and i’m filling it out of the gun but it stays full until I put it in then it empty’s straight away 1 hour ago, EDcase said: Does it keep shooting without the BBs coming out or does it run out of gas pressure after a couple of shots?

I think so I’m very new to airsoft but it goes empty when I put it in the gun even without firing but out the gun it holds the gas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Sounds like the firing pin is sticking out too much in the gun so when you put the mag in its venting slowly. You should be able to hear that though. Try putting the mag in with the hammer pulled back and see if it still shoots after a minute or two. I'm afraid it does sound like its faulty and needs to go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted March 21, 2021 Supporters Share Posted March 21, 2021 Other possibility- if the mag is venting on insertion before even firing try engaging the safety first see if that solves it. That would confirm that its the knocker as the makarov safety lifts the knocker so it should miss the valve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
