The stock internals of the CYMA Thompsons are fairly solid. With the possibly exception of your air nozzle, the only likely culprit is your hopup bucking.

Thanks for the link! I checked it out and the bucking looks fine to my untrained eye. So if something is wrong i cant tell. As far as cleaning it i dont have any silicone so any suggestions for some household alternative till i can go get some?

There is no alternative. You need pure silicone oil. Don't use WD40 or motor oil. The good news is, you shouldn't have much trouble finding silicone oil.

More likely it is a dirty barrel and/ or bucking, and/or crap BBs in this case.
