Try pushing the gun into the Magwell while you are shooting.  If that fixes it, you may need a different mag catch.

Is the air nozzle moving back and forth when the gun is fired?  If not, the tappet plate spring maybe broken or disconnected.  (or the tappet plate itself is broken)

I just took it apart and the air nozzle was the problem it was actually stuck in the hop up unit stoping the bbs from entering also the little lip on the air nozzle is broken so where can I get a cheap one preferably metal if that exist... Or can the gun be fired (with out damaging it) without the air nozzle?

Well first, you want to make sure the problem has been fixed before you replace the air nozzle.

The gun needs the air nozzle to function.  Don't shoot it without it.  

Ehobbyasia.com is a good place to shop.

I was able to put the broken one back on just to test it and it shot however it was shooting 2 bbs every shot on single!!!
I think I'll just get a good metal air nozzle and see if that fixes it.
Thanks!

Well I found out my Magpul mag is double feeding... The echo 1 works ok now so all I got to do is get a new nozzle and mag.

Metal air nozzles aren't nessicary and can actually foul up bbs. I would just get an oring air nozzle and go from there if you are absolutely sure it is the nozzle.

then just replace the nozzle if you want to replace it today i have the part and i charge you only 50 to replace it. I'm the guy who sold you the ak btw. or you can trade me something that is worth my while.

$50 to install a nozzle? Jesus.

Also, if the nozzle is not reciprocating while you fire the gun, it could be a cracked tappet plate.

I'm good I'm in the process if buying a nozzle for $10 then I will put it in for free. Also yes the nozzle is reciprocating so luckily it's just the nozzle...

Fixed!!! Thanks every one for the help, I purchased a metal air nozzle, took the gun apart installed it and now it works great! Ps the Magpul mag wasn't double feeding it was the old nozzle doing that it works great now! This was also my first time opening up a gearbox and I was able to not break anything!!!! Thanks again for the help/advice!
