Yeah, sound like your mags isn't pushing the bbs up into the gun correctly. Use another mag.

Send it back for a replacement, it'll be free if it's a new gun.
I don't think i could live with holding gun upside down when shooting - unless you're going for a gangster loadout heh!

He bought it off the forums... Not Zeroone... Well, i assume that's what he meant.
Is it me? Or are G&Ps notorious for problems? Two mates of mine got G&Ps and both had problems.

Oh c**k, he did say forums!
Off the top of my head, it sounds like a spring problem in the mag.

Yeah, sorry but star midcaps are notorious for not feeding.
Anyway, the mags have a big flathead thing on the top. Turn it 90 deg. and it comes off, revealing the spring. Stretch and put back. It doesn't make them perfect, to do that you'll need to shell out on better mags.

G&P. I run 8 of them in my M4 and they work fine. clean em out and spring stretch twice a year and they work really well.
