Ok, I didn't realize you had 2 mags. If it does the same with both, it's definitely the gun.

I'm not sure where the part is in particular on the exploded diagram, but check that striker / gas hammer (whatever it's called) first. There should be some kind of spring return on it, so that when it hits the valve and opens it, it returns to not keep the mag valve open. It's quite possible that this part is not returning easily enough (too much spring tension, broken or missing spring, or somehow just striking too hard, causing far too much gas to be released.

But it sounds like you're on the right track now with troubleshooting.
