Honestly I have no idea what you guys are complaining about. A properly maintained WE Tech Hi- Capa will be able to shoot the entire magazine on one gas charge, however, the charge is much longer then the standard GGB mag, be sure to fill it up all the way. As to anyone who says try something else.... I own 3 KWA's (2xG23, 1xM9) 1 KJW (Ruger) and my WE- Tech, I have owned many more then this, but thats what I have now. In an actual game, I use my KWA's, they are smoother, and much easier to work on and clean, however, my Hi-capa gives we about an equal performance to both my KWA's. It works fine, and, while I can say I have never used any other 1911 except a KWA/Ksc, I like the full metal better then any abs TM. I have spent many hours untold working on these things, and if you are having a problem, just drop me a line.
