Lol I like your analogies, especially the magical chair.

I pretty much understand the blowback now, but does the floating valve "push" the gas into the chamber? From what I understand, gas won't go in a direction unless you propel / force it.

Also, how does the piston head catch the gas? And how does the o ring function?

Up next are some pictures I took.

You can see the warn down part

Magazine in on rest position, not pressed up.

Huge difference - mag is pressed up. Now when the slide is on, the magazine wont go up at all.

My setup - I forgot to mention my guarder outer barrel.

Does this look normal?

What does that piece sticking out on the piston do?

Piston head, it looks like there is a crack but I think it is just the seam, it is on top and bottom and it doesn't go in the middle.

Bottom of the head

With o ring

So with the magazine issue is it supposed to be with the slide on?

What brand of magazines are there and what do you recommend?

I have we and army, army has better effeciency but leak after extended usage.

Also, I went to shoot the gun outside and the bbs dropped after about 10 - 20 feet, so I turned on the hop up to the max. The bbs went further, but went way to the right.

I took apart my hop up unit, the bucking is fine but seems to get really compressed and mushed when the screws of the unit are tightened. When you look at the bucking on full hop from the barrel, it is kinda lopsided. Is it supposed to look like a flat type bucking, or a u shaped like a concave?

Also, the bbs are misfeeding. When I rack the slide when the hop up is turned off, the bbs just roll out. When you rack the slide hard when the hop up is turned up, they roll out.

Does this mean I need a new bucking?

Have you checked what diameter the barrel is? I am just wondering...
