Gas failure of KJW P226 Mag

Stitch_626_75 · March 14th, 2011, 17:28

I searched through other threads and couldn't find an answer to this so I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm playing with a TM P226 but with a KJ mag, it works great for the first 3/4 of the mag and then just stops shooting. It's been doing this for a while so I've tried to see if there's a leak and I haven't found one. I also make sure it's full but it always seems to run out at the same point. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like that's just the gas capacity.

Yea, the P226 doesn't have a lot of capacity at all. All you can do to improve it is ensure your seals are tight. To test for a leak, place the mag in lukewarm water and watch for bubbles, but your mag sounds fine.

also consider the conditions you are playing in. colder temps will decrease the efficiency and end up using more gas per shot.
