So thats why my mag wont feed. thanks man!!!
My mag won’t feed either. lol
Another tip, if you ever pull the mag apart for cleaning or repair, take the opportunity to drill a small hole near the motor, about the same size as the straw on a can of wd40, then you can give it a squirt of wD40 before storing, give it a dry fire when you have finished using WD40.
Thank you!, Just bought an M4A1 Gen 9. Had a lot of fun with it. The next day it didn’t work to my disappointment. I watched a few You Tube videos without any luck. Then I watched your video about how to empty the mag properly which fixed my problem. Thank you again.
i tip my rifle upside down and fire the last few gravity feed style to empty my mag completely
This also works. I do do this as well. But sometimes you get back from a skirmish and your spare mags still have some balls in them etc. Its good to know these sorts of things
I had to do the same thing too.
Valuable information. Much appreciated.
Very new to gel blasters mate
Thanks heaps for all the info you give. Appreciate it.🙏
just got my first gelblaster today. great advice with the mags.
Cheers for this video bro, just got my gel blaster yesterday and it was jamming, now I know why
What a great presentation on the gel blaster mags. So much information.. Very informative.. Thank you....
Great Video Low Guido. Thanks for the excellent work soldier! *salutes*
Figured all this out like as soon as I got my blaster but thanks mate for explaining as there would be a lot who didn’t.
This video popped up when I searched how to disassemble my FN SCAR 20S magazines lol. I had no idea these things existed until now. Pretty cool.
LOL the TH-cam algorithm works in mysterious ways.
@@lowguidoschopshop It certainly does. Funny enough it actually pulled from the main Google search page with your thumbnail as one of the top results. Also, I read my manual and it turns out SCAR magazines aren't supposed to be disassembled. That explains the lack of results lol
Great vid mate. I am just starting out with Gel Blasters and I've found your videos extremely helpful. Keep up the good work!
Great tips mate thank u
Thanks mate, very helpful
Great tips mate thanks for you’re vids
very helpful thanks for taking the time.
Thank You very much, great video
Great tips, just asking though, I have a ACR-J10 and when I go to load it, the balls only load into the side and not into the actual mag, I just brought the mag yesterday and haven't used them until now. How idea how to get the balls into the actual mags?
Nice tools.
Thanks mate
Gel balls are not a one size fits all deal.
Idk why the retailer’s keep ignoring this issue but many battery operated blasters like the AKM - 47 and ACR frequently have gel balls get stuck simply because they’re too big.
If you find your blaster only fires upside down or not at all, I guarantee it’s not so much because of small dehydrated balls, but because of regular balls getting stuck in the mag, or worse, in the barrel.
The retailers need to start acknowledging this problem.
Thankyou for sharing👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺 just starting out with a M4A1 MK3 with hop up. Not like a 9mm pistol, so have To get perspective relative lol. But seems good from 8- 15m relatively accurate, powerful, I have a piece of string dangling from the ceiling seven times out of 10 from 10m I hit it. I have that Three prong target practice machine and it 8 m I’m nearly 100%. However Then after 20 22 -25m no power. Any suggestions. I want the same accuracy and power at 25-30m as I get from 8-10m, DONT KNOE IF ITS EVEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT GAS, SO if you had 800-$1000 what would you suggest if I can’t do much to upgrade my M4a1 to thoses specs please??PERFECTLY IN A IDEAL WORLD I want a battery operated gel blaster, that operated @ 380-450fps 20-30 shotsps and excellent power and accuracy from 10-30m???? Does that exist without gas????? Thanks please advise, stay healthy mate👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thank you
As a newbie, that is excellent advise, thanks.
My magazine wobbles a bit so I attached a tape inside the magazine holder (front facing) of the M4A1 GEN9 blaster. Do you think its wise to do this? Or should I remove the tape? The wobble is no more after that but magazine is pretty tight and stiff now when taking out from the blaster. No feeding issues yet but when i take out the magazine some gel balls fall off...I worried if it will hurt the magazine's - blaster attachment spring in the future....pls need ur advice?
Thanks for the great tip.. noob here :)
TY CHAMP!!!
thank you
HI, I am new to gel blaster in QLD and I recently purchase a double bell glock 19, green gas. When I use soft gel ball that I have been using for SKD glock18. The mag of GBB does not hold the gel balls and pups every gel balls out with its spring tension. I also tried to put a singel gel ball in the mag lip, the size is ok to fit, but it gets broken or cut off in the lip. Is it torally normal? or I have a problem with my mag? I haven't tried ultra elite or similar hardest gel balls yet.
Can the button on top of the mag cause feeding issues?
Acr j10 I’m working on won’t feed. The mag fills up.. I think the button isn’t sitting flat when it’s in the lower receiver. 6.5mm balls feed. 7mm won’t. All stock atm
Yeah I had this problem and well the mag is buggered .. can you fix it by just giving it a good clean?
Got like 3 spares coming in and a vest so we won't run into so many reload issues next skirmish haha
I like all your TH-cam videos keep them coming and have you seen the new blowback AK gelgun i seen a short clip on it ? X Force tactical gel blasters put it up I think
yeah I saw the video.. I'm not blown away yet..
Thanks mate worked for the arp9 wasnt feeding and thankfully for your video it explained why. thank u so much i thought thje gel balls grew to big or something or got stuck, simply is that magazine isnt full! ty
Standard gels are sometimes too big for certain blasters, and is the main reason why they don’t fire - or the feeding mechanism doesn’t produce enough power.
Again, if you’re blaster only fires upside down it’s because the tube is blocked - often because the gels are to big.
Unfortunately itynot a one size fits all.
A little off topic, but are JM Gen 8 and Gen 9 magazines compatible?
Far out very useful info, i put 30 or 40 moist balls onto my mag 4 first shoot and nothing happened, i figuered it was bcoz mag was not full, i would have never guessed there was a motor in the mag sheeeit
How long should i let the balls dry before shooting ? Soo much too know
Can it do harm to your gel blaster if you have different mags and they make a different sound when mag priming your gel blaster? I have 2 types one makes a louder sound and the other a lighter sound
So if my mag is left with 1/4 of full capacity my mag just wont feed if its all in the tube now?
Very helpful vid mate, while It's too late to save the spring from rust in my P90 mag from this rookie mistake, at least I can stop my 2 M4 mags from suffering the same fate. I also leave the mag feed hatch open and leave them in the sun for a bit too now to get rid of any residual moisture. Cheers.
yea same wit me i fucked one of my mags for my sijun mk18 it was the one that came wit the blaster only one i had so jus bought a new one hopefully comes soon.
sick lad
Do the gel balls only expand to there certain size? So once you soaked them you can leave them in water for storage?
KOR2B yes
i know i’m very late but can you make a video of how to take apart the mag and put it back together
Awesome tips mate. BTW which gun/mag is that one?
Looks like a JinMing gen 8 or gen 9 m4 mag. But an aftermarket one, as the standard ones aren't see-thru.
Thank you for the video - was a great help to know this. I went right to my new blasters and found a stack just like you said. Re the water from the balls in the mag - Do you recommend drying them first via a towel? like pad dry them a little?
I don't bother with a towel. just drain all of the excess water. if the balls are a little wet on the outside its good, just don't want to poor heaps of water into the mag.
@@lowguidoschopshop ah thank you. Understood 😎👍 coffee time! Haha
I just bought an M4 and the magazine will not prime. Not sure if I flooded the motor, might have, but that seems unlikely.
Any way I can figure out if that's the case?
Do u know how to put back together a furdich gell ball magazine back together
Great video. Was wondering how the mags got the ammo to the blaster
Function*
Do you know where to buy manual mags from bro, or anyone? I need to buy manual m4a1 magazines
Is it possible to put iron ammo?
Do you drain then pat the gel balls down dry before using them in your mags/guns?
I have once poured all my gels onto a rug and picked out all the broken or distorted ones..
Hi guys what size or spec is that motor? Does anyone know?
how to pull apart the Mag and clean when required? would also be a great tip
Something that has happened regularly to my AKM47 and ACR battery operated GBR’s is the feeding tube and/or barrel of the gun itself becomes clogged with gels.
Usually the AK will only fire upside down.
The ACR won’t even fire.
I’ve been told by one retailer that these rifles actually need to be fed with smaller balls - something I never hear about, but is the only way these battery operated blasters will work.
Anyone else have this problem?
I'm assuming once you up the voltage that the feed rate is still equal to the the rate of fire that stock voltage was ? Obviously both motors are turning faster. Just for kicks you should overclock a mag with indipendent power, see if it'll fire multiple gels per stroke or if it just jams heaps badly haha.
the mag always feeds more than the blaster can fire. the mag motor is a constant so it is continuously feeding gels at the same rate. the blaster only fires one round per revolution of the sector whereas the mag never stops. so the restriction on feed is the blaster itself.
Hey BrU... Just bought my 1st one. know nothing about them.. Mag doesnt seem to be cycling the gel balls... any common reasons?
Dude I got the same problem
Thank you should be very helpful
☺😊😀😁😂5 smile's Drill your own hole if you need to!!!!! And add uv to the tube on the side set up the top, on at least one clip!😆 any upgrades from hobby king on the clip motor and its type?
I just give it a good shake, seems to work ... and about 20 odd come flying out the tube
Hi mate, what function the little button in top mag? is it OK when disabled ?
Its to stop gels falling out
can u show how to repair magazine for RX akm47
how can you fix it from feeding too fast?
Should I drill a hole the same size as yours.under the motor if it doesn’t have one ?
it wouldn't hurt.
I left the gel balls in the magazine when I was going away for a long time. So the magazine dont work no more. What can I do to fix it?
You can disassemble the mag with a small screwdriver if it's totally blocked. There's several small screws holding it together. If it still doesn't feed, or you can't hear the mag motor during priming, the motor is probably water damaged from the gels "sweating" out their moisture. You can get a replacement motor (they are inexpensive but will require soldering), but a new mag is only $15-$30.
Another weak point is the electrical terminals visible on top of the mag. If there is any dirt or corrosion on the terminals, power may not be getting to the motor. You can clean off any dirt, or corrosion can be removed with a small piece of sandpaper.
If all of this sounds too hard, just buy a new magazine.
Or just buy a new mag
@@fedzalicious where can i go to find a replacement motor?
@@LONGCAUSE magazine's are pretty cheap. It's hardly worth mucking around.
But if you remove the motor and take it to an electronic component store, like radio shack, they might be able to match it. Otherwise you can try to find it on Ebay or Ali Express.
My gun doesn’t fire when I get the Meg straight do you know why?
New gun,Question? Power isn’t getting to my magazine on my gel blaster. The blaster shots but no power is going to the magazine. The magazine is good and works in other blasters. What could be the issue?
Is it a CYMA?
Use a 9 v battery for the mag check
My gel blaster only shoots upside down do you know why?
bruh I just started playing with gel blasters and I got the gel balls relatively dry but didnt realise they had to be fully dry
Just most of the running water out if fine. They can be a bit moist. You just dont want to be pouring too much water into your mag.
Very helpful video as the instructions that came with my blaster were in Chinese. 😅
Was it a scorpion?
The mag I have the balls fall out of the top of the mag as if the catch up top is not strong enough to hold them in
That's pretty normal
I read a comment somewhere saying put a squirt of wd40 in there as well, thoughts on that?
I have never used WD40 so I can't really comment
According to the WD40 website it is safe to use on electronics. WD stands for "water displacement", so it should help protect the motor, in theory.
I have a gel blaster and when I pull the trigger it just makes a dentist drill sort of noise and the balls don’t feed through
your pinion gear may be stripped or not engaged properly.
How do u think I can fix this
This happened to my P90 after mag dumping for a while, the pinion gear slipped off and wouldn't reengage. I took it apart and easily fixed it. It's easy as mate, look at any of Low Guidos vids on how to disassemble your blaster and be very wary of switches and springs popping out before you fully put it back together.
what should you do if you accidentally left some gel balls in your mag and they shrivelled up
You can always open it up and clean them out.
How do I store my gel balls and can’t leaving them in water stuff the gel up?
Drain them and put them in an air tight container.
I have the splat r ball what happens if I use non brand orbeezs
so long as they are the same size the should be fine.
I'm so brilliant that after buying 2 M4A1 J8 and J9, i figure out right the way clearing remained balls just like your guidance :))))
hi can you get the door fixed if you brake the little clip ?
I have seen some 3d printed options here and there, but generally not too common.. replacement mag is relatively cheap.
may i ask? when i pull the cocking handle (or bolt handle), nothing happens. no sound or anything. but when i pull the trigger, theres firing sound.. is this my mag problem or my wgg? thank youu... im having this issue since the day one...
what blaster?
@@lowguidoschopshop its JM Scar L V2
im new for this.. what is the difference of Prime mag than a normal mag?.
The mag priming is a function of the blaster and not the mag itself.
Are all jinming's magazine compatible with all the jinming m4, especially the M4 Terminator? Pls answer :)
they all share similar geometry, the hole and terminals are in the same place. the terminator has a side bar type gel stopper, where as most modern mags have a top push button design.
@@lowguidoschopshop so they're compatible right?
@@eliezergunawan which specific mag in which specific blaster?
@@lowguidoschopshop warinterest's hex mag and jinming's M4 terminator, i think the mag size are the same with other jinming's mag
@@eliezergunawan I'm fairly sure they should fit. but I don't have one to test, so I cant be 100% but.. pretty sure.
Nobody wants shrivelled up little balls! On a serious note, do you have any ideas why the magazine feed motor keeps running in my AUG? I've traced the power wires back to the plug at the mosfet, it has 8 volts to it constantly. Thinking faulty mosfet?? Cheers
Ironically i watched this yesterday and today went for a blast only to discover i hadnt cleaned my mag properly last time due to being in a rush is there anything i can do i got my mag taken apart and drying out in the sun atm to clear up residue
just letting it dry and shaking out the dehydrated balls should help.
Yea iv tried letting it dey out as much as possible and took it completely apart to make sure n clean out dehydrated gels n unfortunately still not working
Spray the motor with wd 40 over a few days. It will free up done with mine many times.
good vids mate because a lot of people do the wrong thing to the mag
Are gel blasters legal in wa
I put huge amounts of grease coating the motor & filled the gap so water can't enter & corrode my motor
My mag doesn't have a side door like yours. How do I open it?
Its probably on top under the wire terminals

Does this apply with pistol mag
If it is an electric mag like the SKD glock or m90two then yes.
What about gel pistols? Do they do it the same way?
Some do. And some don't. It varies from model to model
Low Guido's Chop Shop oh ok thanks, I might be getting one soon so I was starting with a pistol
Should i keep the gel balls in the fridge when I'm not using them
I don't think it needs to be in the fridge but somewhere cool helps, if you are keeping them for a long time. I keep mine in the basement where it is relatively cool
@@lowguidoschopshop ok thankyou love your vids they've been very helpful
Blaster g maine v kar diya chk
because i took mine apart and i don’t know how to put it back together
