WE M16 Open Bolt Issues
Having a couple issues:
1) The air nozzle keeps breaking. The C-shape protrusion keeps breaking apart in the same spot. I've gone through 3 nozzles now, can't figure out what is causing the issue. I've read a few things stating that it is being caused from overloading the mags, but I only ever load 30, never the +1 or +2 that can fit. Note that I've only ever gamed this rifle once and I've broken 3 air nozzles, so I'm assuming I'm doing something very wrong or the rifle is doing something very wrong.
2) Ridiculously poor FPS with an NPAS installed. Tested it at a recent game, was firing 270FPS. Adjusted it all the way both ways to make sure I was adjusting it correctly and 270FPS was the highest speed it could achieve, however going back to the stock piece that the NPAS replaces, it goes back up to 370FPS (still much lower than when it was BNIB at 420-440). Not sure if this is related to the cracking of the C-shaped protrusion of the air nozzle or not.
3) Not locking back after last shot is fired. No clue what could be doing this except possibly the internal piece that is supposed to catch it being worn, but I don't know where or what that particular piece is/looks like, so I don't know how to troubleshoot. For all I know this is also related to the air nozzle being cracked.
Any insight would be much appreciated. If a photo is needed to show what I mean about the air nozzle cracking I can provide one.
