Wa Shan and Tanaka Shooting

Shot my model guns the other day, that Tanaka G 18 is a bit finicky with the selector making it not fire at certain positions. The Wa Shan's once I figured out to put a 5mm and 7mm cap into them shot the best for me, I enjoyed it, did not enjoy the amount of cleaning that comes after!

OK, first thing stop using a 5 and 7mm cap in one round, it is way to powerful it will warp and tear your rounds apart and may well even break your gun, 1 7mm cap is more than enough, the reason the wa shan is not working for you with the 1 7mm is probably because you are using the wa shan rounds which seem to let a lot of the gas from the cap escape most of us use P220 rounds though these are now hard to get get however tanio koba 9mm cp rounds will also work i am led to believe. you can also put silicon grease around the screw threads this helps keep the gas in and works well on my wa shan 45.
thanks for the vids always good to see someone's else's guns firing.
By the way is the glock 18 a new 3rd generation tanaka or an older model

Thanks for the advice mate! It's an older 2nd Gen, I am chasing a 3rd gen G17 at the moment, didn't know their was a 3rd gen G18.

Seems i may be wrong on the 7mm 5mm cap together as i have been told that this is Ok for the wa shans at least using the wa shan rounds, i have to say i was suprised as there is a lot of power when using 2 caps do this in any other moel and it would be bye bye gun. Anyway i would still advise to keep a good check on the rounds and make sure they are not getting warped and unusable.
