Kiesman Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 Hello. I'm very new to the hobby, and I just bought a second mag from the store for my G17, but for some reason when I fire, it doesn't "blowback" and so it doesn't hop up the next BB/prep the gun to fire again. Does anyone have a tip to resolve this? Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 What happens? It shoots a BB but doesn't cycle? Have you compared it against the original mag? They look the same? Definitely compatible with your G17? Link to post Share on other sites
Kiesman Posted May 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 Yes, it shoots the BB but doesn't cycle/blowback. The mag is 100% compatible, according to the local Airsoft shop, and they know their stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
Pistol_Dude Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 Which make/model G17 do you have? And which make/model of magazine? Photos comparing the two magazines might be helpful too. Link to post Share on other sites
Got Wood? Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 Have a look at the gas router on top, and the underside of the nozzle. Is one mag curved, and the other flat? Flat routers will work with curved nozzles, but curved routers will cause flat nozzles to foul either on the blowback or more commonly, on the return to battery Link to post Share on other sites
