I have a WE 1911 Desert Warrior MEU and I've had it for a while but have been unable to use it, because when I first bought it the magazine sent with it leaked and I wasn't able to get my hands on an adapter, also I had difficulty with ASGI to replace the mag. I've now discovered that the 1911 itself has had a problem the whole time , I can only shoot off two rounds before having to refill the magazine with gas. **I have tried several magazines, MEU and NON-MEU.** Oddly though, the first time I tried the non-meu I was able to shoot off 30 rounds, but the top piece was broken and unable to hold bbs so I tried replacing it with a part from an MEU magazine and now I can only get two shots off before having to refill, I did try swapping the piece back to no avail. What's wrong? How can I fix it?

Problem 1: WE 1911 (generally crappy gas system)
Problem 2: Sounds like the magazine isn't sealing well with the pistol, for starters. If you push up on the bottom of the mag while firing, can you fire any more shots?
