Don't roll it. You can also run in to issues this way. Bend it properly. Unfortunately, once you've rolled it, you've pretty much messed it up for future modification. You will introduce waving to the metal. This is another reason why a straight bend is more appropriate.

I do not have a lot of experience on this type of mags but my gun shoots only 12 shots on a full tank of gas. Is this normal?
I sealed all the leaks, and I arrived at 18 \ 20 shots.
It is normal for this type of guns?
Any suggestions??

Bye
Not normal. You should be getting at least 25 shots per mag fill. At least with a Marui. A stock Marui can get at around 40 shots per mag fill. I don't know about KJW.

I reach 18\20 shoots using a light BBU from AIP, a custom plug and of course a tm 5.1 standard spring.
Again, I don't know about for KJW, but for a full metal Marui, this type of performance is sub-par. With the builds that I create for people, I aim for minimum 25 shots per magazine, when using a metal slide, stock blowback unit, and enhanced recoil spring using propane.
