ayy comrades, this is my first gun so sorry for the possibly obvious question. i ordered this gun online.
so when the magazine is all the way in the gun, it sticks out of the bottom still. i cocked the gun back and looked and it's hitting that little release to lock it in place when i insert it so to me it looks like its fitting properly. why does it hang out so much tho? is this the wrong magazine for this gun? the photo above is the one from the site when i bought it. i thought it looked like that just to show it came with a mag.
worst case scenario a magazine for one of these is cheap but i just wanna know if im just doing something wrong here
General rule when dealing with firearms is there's pretty much nothing you can do to it with your bare hands that would hurt it. When you put in a magazine you wanna really slam that fucker in.
But yeah, if you've done that and it caught and it's secure and still sticking out, you're probably fine. Worst case there's something seriously wrong with it and it's not gonna feed rounds into the chamber, which is the kind of problem that makes it go click instead of bang so it's not going to be dangerous. For the most part if nothing is obstructing the barrel, anything that could go wrong will be safe.
But yeah, definitely get some time with an instructor if you can, they've heard way dumber questions than what you can come up with and they're not gonna judge you for not knowing. Most of them are big fucking nerds who want to rant at you about guns the same way a star wars fan wants to tell you about Glup Shitto's cameo in the new spinoff book of a novelization of one scene of The Clone Wars or some shit.
