VFC MP5s Chewing Gas Router

[Anonymoose]

So i have two brand new VFC MP5s. Neither have had more than maybe 3 magazines through them and last time i shot one it felt down on power and let a load of gas out the ejection port.

 

A look at the magazine shows the front of the rubber gas router has a chunk taken out of it. (Another magazine has the same to a lesser extent.)

 

 

I bought a new nozzle and some new gas routers, but wondering if anyone else has encountered anything similar? Looks like i just need to shave a little off the loading "finger" or chamfer the leading edge.

 

 

Many thanks,

Moose.

are you using the right mags? They may simply be be inserted too far.

They're the ones that came with the guns. I have spares that haven't been used.

I love VFC mp5's so much but there's a lot of negative feedback out there on them and it seems mostly revolving around the magazine. The problem your having looks exactly like Explosive Enterprises problem, he recommends rounding off the leading corner of the nozzle but he does state it will only reduce not eliminate the wear.
