Magazine Not Feeding at all

So, recently, I've gotten a MAG 100rd AR mag and it has been feeding very well until I tried it with the Madbull 0.25g bullets. It feeds perfectly if I flip the gun upside down but it does not feed if I try to shoot it properly.

Any help would be great. Thanks!

I have the same problem with my MAG 100rd M4 mags, I believe it has something to do with the spring being compressed and losing it's spring.

I have never had a single problem with any of my MAG 100's. AS stated try some silicone oil, load it and unload it a few times, or u maybe have to remove the spring to check for any jams, kinks, or stretch it a tiny bit.

I've tried with 3 of the Mags I have( Out of 8).

I've tried it with TM 0.2g(Washed and no lube), BB Bastard 0.25g(Out of the package yes Lube), and With Madbull 0.25g(Washed no Lube).

Out of these 3, the TM and the BB bastard had never misfed. But the Madbull had been a bitch. I'm trying to figure out why it's doing so.

I'm trying to avoid Lubing the mag/bullets because it will affect the hop up.

Fair enough, that is interesting and strange that it only misfeeds with the Madbull bb's..

Aren't a lot of Madbull products shit? Inner barrels, springs, and now BB's?

With G&P Mp5 mids, Sometimes a good slap on the side helps. You can hear the spring jump back in place. Not sure if this would be the same fix.

Also with madbull bb's, only crappy thing about them is the bag they come in.
Plastic tears away from the ziploc after the first opening. Haven't had trouble with feeding yet. Unless this is why my G&Ps are acting up..

Ya, I do that and it loads another single BB. Then when I take out the mag, I can see that there are two BBs stuck with each other, and I have to smack it again.

Hate this thing.

I had problems with some mp5 mag MAGs. BB's were getting stuck about 1 cm below the opening. A few drops of lube and that fixed that.

Now the spread is like 3 feet at 60 feet due to the slippery hop up. But time will take care of that.

well I've just done series of tests with all 8 mags. And the same results. Madbull BBs sucked all the way. I also washed the BB Bastard BB so there are no lubricants on it now, and it still worked perfectly.

I'm assuming that the Madbull BB is weighing more than the rated weigh and the spring can't push it up. It's not a perfect explanation but I have no other idea why it would do so.

For now, I conclude that Madbull Brand sucks.

Exactly. Along with a bunch of other products they sell.

if it's a double stacking mag, i've seen alot of jamming problems with those.
My brother had to shim all his 20 MP5 MAG mags to get them to feed, the springs in them just suck.
