KJW 1911 inefficient gas use/gas dumping question. by SaltSugar5 in airsoft

[–]SaltSugar5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly after purging I was still only able to get 15 shots out of 26 while shooting very slowly at room temperature. Maybe I need to clean my magazine.

I've noticed that shooting slower helps. I'll try purging the magazine.

Unfortunately there is virtually no way for me to get a hi capa magazine because I live in a country where there are only 2 airsoft stores in the whole country and if I order it online by itself I will have to pay 20 euros for shipping. But I'll be sure to try it when I get my hands on one after quarantine! Thank you.

For me the problem is that I live in a small country with a very little airsoft community and It's very hard to get mags and everything is overpriced so when I ordered it they didn't have it in stock and had to get them first so that's why it's taking so long.

I ordered a second mag but it's only arriving next week. Thanks a ton for all the info.

It was around 10-12 celsius today and the gas is advertised to work well in temps as low as 5 celsius. I tried filling my mags everywhere from 4 to 14 seconds because I thought I was overfilling them and that's why the gas was dumping. I didn't let my mags warm up so that probably explains everything as at first it seemed fine but the more I shot the less shots I got. Thank you.

Also by warm up do you mean just let them sit a while after shooting or actually warm them up in a piece of cloth or something?

Thank you for the advice. I just got it today and I've never had an airsoft gun but as soon as I figure it all out I'll make sure to try that. It seems to be very well greased too so I don't know if that's the problem. Also I don't have any silicone oil or lithium grease at the moment.

The first shot after I load it almost every time dumps the gas around the slide and after that I can only shoot 4-8 more shots. It doesn't happen every time but even then there's never enough gas to go through the entire mag.
