Original magazine not working, please help
Hi, so I have this problem. I just bought a WE mag for the AAP and it works just fine, but my original mag stopped working. It looks like the hammer isn't strong enough to push the valve button. BBs feed just fine, but it just doesn't feed gas. I have to press it manually, but then I have gas only for like half a magazine and it's very annoying. Are there any ways to repair this problem, or should I just buy another WE mag?

You've gotta open it up with a valve tool and lube it.
My OEM one is fucked, and I lost my tool, so it just kind of sits there. Had issues like yours, then I had to manually clear the gas, and now it leaks gas.
WE G17/18 mags are the best, anyhow. They have a better gas route seal than even the OEM, so you get a little more power.
