Tokyo Marui MP7 failmags are fail

Brockavich · May 21st, 2009, 21:03

What the title says. The magazines work... mostly. I know it's commonplace for those wind-up magazines to have feeding issues and shit, but it's so frequent it's almost impossible to use in an actual matchup.

I'm saying about every 5-10 shots I have to either whack the mag, or disconnect and whack, or wind it some more...

Anyone ever owned any of the 190 round TM MP7 mags? Any suggestions on how to get them to work decently? Because I have an airsoft game on Saturday (work can suck it

) and I'd prefer if I wasn't taking the mag out every 5 seconds to make sure it's working.

Thanks in advance, cookies to anyone who helps me CHOCOlLTE FUCKING CHIP

Did you put silicone oil in them?

I know this sounds stupid but I would just like to make sure you are loading the BBs correctly, in the past there have been a few times were people complain about their hicaps not working but then it turns out that they loaded them like you load a low or mid cap instead of opening the hatch and pouring BBs in the hatch they force loaded the BBs down through the feeding hole.

@Evolution: No i have not... Where would I spray that? Into the hatch?
@Tokyo: That's what I did at first before I actually peeked at the instructions >_<

The silicon oil is a great advice and has fixed issues with my low-grade AK and MP5 mags.

Just put a few drops (5-6) of silicon oils in it thru the hole where BBs come out (I use a very liquid silicon oil that I use in my GBB, not the viscous kind).

Let the mag sit in upward position overnight. After, load the mag with BBs, empty it (either thru your AEG or using the BB release button on the mag. Repeat. If you do it thru your AEG just make sure you shoot a 1-2 mags of non-oiled Bbs after to clean up your hop up and barrel.

Always fixed my problems. Never tried it on a hi-cap tho.

same thing here - M4 300rd hicaps were all not working when i bought em - left overnight with silicone oil in them and dryed next day via shootign a mag clean through - hasn't been a problem since - although i do oil them every other week just to be on the safe side
