Magazine problem

Hey guys, I'm having a bit of trouble with an MP5 mag. It's a big old dual hi-cap, shown in the pic



So here's the problem. When I fill up the magazine with BB's and wind it up, nothing gets wound. I can hear the double-click noise as if it was already completely winded, but no BB's get fed up....Help?

That happened to mine back when I had a UTG MP5! I smashed the magazine with the mp5 until they both exploded (it was mostly broken anyways).

Any methods that work?

Make sure the spring are in correct placement with the gears, if you know what you're looking for.

The housing won't come out.....


It smells like sh*t too.

That's why you shouldn't stick it up your a**. It gums up the winding mechanism.

I hope you're mechanically-minded, because it sounds like you're going to have to disassemble it and inspect it for broken or loose parts.

I'm trying, but the friggin thing won't come loose. I think I'll just buy new magazines :L

EDIT: Oh btw I got an MP5 for a while lol. Might keep it but I dunno.

Sounds like maybe there is a BB down there jamming it. So you hear it grinding like its full but no more BB's will come up because one of them is stuck. Never had this problem so I am not sure.

if you want i can try to fix it for you.

It's alright, I'm sure it's way less trouble just buying a new one.

Hate to say it, but I had the same problem with MY UTG MP5...eventually, If I remember correctly, it fixed itself one day outta nowhere and I just gave the mag to a friend

Then I shall wait


....And buy a new one.
