How to check for a gas leak?

I bought a gun with 4 magazines and was told one of them has a gas leak. How can I tell which one it is?

Re: How to check for a gas leak?
Should hear and feel it when you fill it up.
If you are confident enough to be able to fully strip and rebuild it, you could (but I personally wouldn't) fill it and place it under water...

as above.put a bit of gas in it and see where it leaks from.buy yourself a valve key to maintain your mags and some silicone grease and oil to do all the seals.

Yea its simple. Fill them all up and the one that makes a hissing sound is leaking.
