BB "misfire"?

[jjliver]

Big noob here. Just got a new KWA SR7. For some reason only 2/3s or so of the BBs are being fired. When I release the clip the un-shot BBs fall out. Is it the gun or me?

Thanks

Is a bb leaving the barrel every time you pull the trigger?

Some types of hop-ups and magazines will always drop a few rounds when you pull out the mag. I lose at least one or two. I've seen some highcaps that will spill a lot of bbs.

A little clarity will make some more sense out of this.

BBs are not leaving the barrel every time.

What bbs are you using? Have you tried different mags?

Also, midcap or hicap mag? Usually some good midcaps will solve that.

You mean newbie and not nubile. Trust me...

I have the same problem with my M14 mags. Check to make sure you don't have a bb jammed in the hop up or barrel. If that's not the issue then it's something to do with the hop up because the mag is doing its job. That's why you have bbs coming out when you release the mag.

If you mean this happens on an empty mag then that's totally expected. The last three bbs don't have anything to push them into the chamber.

Thanks for all the thoughts!!

The guy at the store I bought it from said i needed to fully load the magazine (mid cap KWA mag). Got a speedloader and loaded it up. Seems to be working fine now.

KWA mags I've seen get pretty expensive a times, I've noticed that King Arms mags, Mag Brand Mags, G&G, and something called CAA mags (What I normally run), work pretty well in the Gen2 models, I'm not sure about the older ones though.

CAA mags are pretty cool though, right now there only in highcaps but I'd expect some mid's to come out soon. Heres the links to the mags I run in my KWA.
