The whole game i had a bitter taste in my mouth using 1 mag. What do you guys think went wrong? It's a WE G18c mag too...
Sounds like Kar102c's problem. Coincidence? ....or fate? ...or... uhhh.... the Matrix? MUHAHAHAHA!

Ahem.

This is why I keep saying...
To minimize the chances of errors like these from arising, stick to the gun's original magazines. Keep Marui guns fed with Marui mags. Using cloned mags is just...increasing the likelihood of failure....

What went wrong is that you bought a magazine that is not intended for a Marui system.

Thus, the magazine is either too snug against the loading muzzle such that it prevents interfacing with the hole on the magazine properly.

The telltale sign is a slide that cannot return to battery properly. That's why you had a misfeed. If it's a severe case, your magazine will actually jam your slide open because the loading muzzle won't be able to fluently glide atop the rubber piece on the magazine. Actually, the arm on the loading muzzle that is used to chamber the BB will get caught on the magazine rubber if it's really that bad.

or

it doesn't interface enough. That is, there is just too much room for air to vent out all over the place and not enough air will funnel through to the intake hole on your loading muzzle. Thus, the slide won't receive enough power for it's rear stroke andd thus, won't trip the firing pin disconnector. Thus thus, the firing pin will remain pressed against the magazine blowoff valve letting every single ounce of air out of the magazine....

Either way, I would stick with you buying JUST Marui mags for your specific since it's a TM.

It wouldn't hurt either to check if everything is ok. Like Danke said, it could be a problem happening elsewhere in the gun..

also.
The MATRIX HAS YOU.
FOLLOW THE WHITE RABBIT...
