WE AK hopup blues

Hi guys, I've got 3 WE AKs that ALL do the same thing, if I have the hop setup for anything lighter than .36-.4s, the BBs just roll out the barrel before I fire, theres not enough to hold the BB in the chamber, one has a stock hopup rubber, one has an RAtech blue rubber, and the other has a Modify beige rubber, so I dont thing its related to the rubber itself
the only "treatment" ive found its that If I trim a few MM off the nozzle I can get it to work a bit better at lower hop settings, but its still very irritating
what AM I missing? did WE just fuck up the AK hopup or do I have 3 defective guns?
I've been wrestling with these hopups for a long time now

They're called priorities. Get yourself some.

check the hop up nub, I had the same problem with my WE AK74 and not only did I replace the nub, I also used the nineball hop up bucking for TM pistols in mine.

willing to perform services in a dark alley that may or may not leave you satisfied for a title. GFE = 1, looks = 2, BBFS for an extra $50.

Update, I replaced the old semi swollen modify beige rubber with a newer one, and used a hollow nub from an AEG hopup rubber instead of the solid black one it comes with, just to see what would happen, and I can now hop .28s and .25s pretty well, im going to change out to soft hollow nubs instead of the solid cylinders on my other two AKs and see if that helps, if not Ill try nineball rubbers on all of them...

You can also fit in some TM VSR rubbers in there, just for you to know
