Gas in mag

[tetra]

Hey, I got a P226 blowback was just wondering if there is a threat to leaving your clip full till the next game (ie 2 weeks to a month)

Also, if it remains full, will the gas eventually deplete?

IMO, for 2-4 weeks storage, yes, empty it out, leave a bit to keep the seals fresh.

Always leave a bit of gas in the mag.

if you leave rounds in it, the spring will weaken

It's called a magazine, not a clip. Don't discharge all the gas at once as that will damage the seals. Just fire off a few rounds until your shots become weak. It's recommended that a couple shots worth of gas be left in the mag.

CLIP

noun
1. a metal frame or container holding cartridges; can be inserted into an automatic gun

;P

Same difference.

My GBB (and M700) magazines are kept full all the time. Only times I've had problems with getting leaky mags is when I leave one or two completely empty for even a short time (had an M700 mag leak badly after leaving it with no gas for only 3 days!)

Leave gas in mag, it doesn't matter how much, as long as it's pressurized.

Not the same difference. Clips have a metel frame, magazines are fully encased.
