mag. If full-auto doesn't work, try out Solution 1 with the standard cap mag. The

worst case scenario is that you need to modify the nozzle AND replace the high

cap mag.

* If mis-fire happens in semi as well, it is likely that the Hop Up chamber is

seriously deformed or that there is a magazine wobble problem.

In any case, after each outdoor game you should clean the magazine inside and

out. Take out the internal, release the spring and remove all the dirt and dust.

For MP5 mags in particular, frequent cleaning is a MUST.

As a side note, the springs in use by the hi-cap mags are known as

constant-force springs. They are a special variety of extension spring that

consists of a spiral of strip material with built-in curvature so that each turn of

the strip wraps tightly on its inner neighbor. When the strip is extended, the

inherent stress resists the loading force at a nearly constant rate. Are these

springs replaceable? Yes, but they are not cheap at all (it may just be better off

for you to replace the entire magazine).

To prolong the usable life of a constant-force spring, always have it released

after each game. A hi-cap mag under proper maintenance should last for 30000

~40000 rounds at the least.
