Hi I’m having issues with m DB g18c it will fire 2/3 times then fizz out I rack the slide & get the same thing this is when I’m pointing it at a target.but when I rack the slide rest my elbow on my hip blaster pointing to the sky I can shoot of the whole mag of gas (50 to 60 shots) any Ideas?
Hammer might be lite striking the release valve and it’s not giving enough pressure to cycle properly, pointing it up might be giving it enough weight to cycle properly, that’s the first thing that comes to my mind, but I don’t know a huge amount on GBB’s.
Don’t have much experience other than my old FB G18C experience, but there’s a couple of things to consider.
Light striking on the gas valve sounds most likely, which you can try spacing out the gas valve a little with an extra/thicker o-ring under the valve to allow the hammer to open it up further.
Make sure to lubricate the valve itself with a drop of silicone oil, easily done when mag is empty of gas and depressing the valve open to add the oil.
Also make sure to lubricate the mechanisms, rubber bucking seal and the slide rails themselves.
Also try out different gasses if still having issues, depending upon what is recommended for the climate/temperature range you are using it in.
Good luck 
Thanks for any Ideas you can give but every thing is well lubed & I have 2 mags and no diff so the depressed valve may not be the issue I have noticed that the hammer wobbles around in the casing it sits in maybe not striking every time.
A wobbly hammer is definitely not a good thing for sure!
I just got one second hand. Hammer is stuck down. Where can I get replacement parts?. It’s not looking good. Everywhere is sold out
Get creative is your best bet. Unstick it
Your response was as useful as tits on a bull. I pulled it apart and a piece has snapped off . That bit was what was jamming it. So clearly need to find a replacement. But every sit is sold out.
And you are asking for a remedy that you can do yourself with spare parts unavailable.
Wave your own fucking magic wand and fix it yourself smartarse.
You’re the smartass saying “unstick it”. Trying to find out if anyone knows who sells this parts. Simple
Is that it?
iHobby imports all the DB stuff, luckily the import parts too as DB is well known for being a bit lacking in quality of internals.

Nope. Maiphut was offering a valid suggestion. It’s what we all do in here, especially me… and it’s one of the reasons why the general vibe in here is positive and helpful. Your “tits on a bull” remark was uncalled for and unnecessary. Not the greatest way to start out on the forum.
If you’re going to stick around get used to people suggesting ways to fix problems if replacement parts are unavailable. That’s what we do if we can. If you don’t agree with the advice offered just accept it graciously and scroll on.
You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar in here. 
Good luck with the G18. Might get lucky, Rok’s onto it.
Don’t abuse me for what you said 2x over. Good luck with the advice. Go and have a cool drink and calm down. Far out. No manners what so ever.
We usually encourage people new to the forum to head over to the “Introduce Yourself” thread so they can let us know a bit about themselves, where they are, their areas of interest, any goals, previous modding experience, etc.
Also gives existing members a chance to welcome new members to the forum.
Hey was hoping for a posative informal response. All I got was “be creative . Unstick it”
Am I missing something?
If I took that wrong then I’ll own that , just seemed a little bit condescending. And I was asking who would know where to get the parts from. The fact he / she is calling abuse by my reply. Amazing
I am still struggling to see how “get creative”
Or “unstick it”. Was in anyway way constructive or helpful in anyway.
Mate. Sorry to offend you. Was just after a bit of help and I got “unstick it”. From u. How was that helpful ?? Roksolid was helpful . Was all I was asking for.
You seemed to be emotional , swearing and carrying on. But all good. Peace 
Oh man. Really appreciate your help. Ordered and sorted. Thankyou so much.
Maybe getting to know people a little would help you understand how they operate in here. Some like longwinded detailed replies, others are a little more direct which can appear blunt, but both ways are still helpful.
You’ll figure it out.
Meantime, on this issue, best to agree to disagree and let it go.
Gel is great as it has all types of people in one area of interest. Some friction may develop from time to time, so bring lube in case!
(It’s a joke… but has a point.)
In short, it isn’t the first double bell I have seen had to break something to be able to fix it. They are just hit and miss on quality and fitment.
Some are fine, some are hot turds. And everything in between.
I get PTSD every time I see one of their hicapas. As not all models use the same parts so replacing parts often led to more issues requiring further modifications and tinkering.
Most common issue on their glocks aside from leaks is the trigger, hammer, seer assembly just not working like it should.
My general advice for double bell gas stuff is to leave them for the collection with occasional use and maintenance. They aren’t something I’d recommend for regular use in games etc.
Grab a WE or Armourer Works for that.
You’ll spend more but generally won’t need to do more than occasional cleaning and maintenance on them.
