Hi everyone, I need some advice.
I bought CYMA shotgun shells to use with a Tokyo Marui HPA shotgun shell adapter. However, I’m having some issues.
Some shells only hold about 15 BBs instead of the advertised 30.
When I fully load a shell, it will fire only 1–2 BBs before it stops feeding.
If I remove the shell and tap it on the ground, the follower/spring pops back up and it starts feeding again.
Does this sound like a problem with the CYMA shells, or could it be an issue with the adapter? Has anyone experienced the same thing or knows what might be causing it?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I’m currently running a VFC KS1 with completely stock internals.

Any recommendations on buffer tube recoil springs that give a snappier recoil?

Also, my stock hop-up and bucking are shooting pretty straight right now — do you think it’s worth upgrading them?
