 i dont know if its my dumbness, or bad KWC products, but it seems to me as if Gas is leaking wayyy more than it should. I line up the mag upsidedown perfectly with the gas upside down (green gas). i press down firmly, and i hear this medium loud hiss and i can smell the awful smell of green gas. if i pressed down for 5 seconds (way too much apparently), and i only got 10 shots off before the gas ran out. i am guessing i broke the seal or something, if that is the case how could i fix it? thanks.

Nothing sounds wrong with that. Lot's of gas mags spew out gas upon filling, where as some won't spill a drop. Make sure that when you press the gas nozzle to the fill valve that you're pressing enough to fully open both valves. Then hold that until the amount of gas being spit out increases dramatically. Try adjusting your angle slightly, every mag has it's own little quirks about how exactly is has to be filled.
If you think you've got it, and you're still only getting a few shots per mag, fill it up as much as you can and let it sit for a couple of days (it won't hurt the mag, i can go into why if you want, but in this case it doesn't matter much and i have a term paper that i probably should be working on) and then shoot it. If you don't get any shots from it, then you have a leak, if you do, then it's your fill technique.
FYI, 5 seconds isn't "way" too much. It's usually about normal, and sometimes not enough. Take that into account along with the rather cold temperatures, and you may be getting a fine fill, and your gun just doesn't like the cold. If you (or your parents, depending) don't mind shooting in your house, try testing in there. Make sure you give the mag enough time to warm up after you fill it (about two minutes should do it). And of course, shoot into a card board box or something to stop the bbs. You don't want a bunch of 6mm dents in your living room wall.
