As soon as I hit the 25th round or so, I can feel the huge loss in slide kickback. I also get tons of liquid sprayed out of the ejection port (not sure if it's either propane or silicone oil) on each shot.
The gun would shoot fine (without any liquid spray) with the stock TM nozzle in the same conditions (indoor at Ultimate Airsoft). Does anyone else experience this as well?

Hey ken,
The AS kit is actually the best sealing piston head/loading muzzle combo for the Marui Glocks in my experience. They have a tight seal that gives you a crispier slide cycle. In fact, when they first arrive to my door, the fit between the two components are so tight that when the loading muzzle is returning to battery, it would get stuck half way through. lol. At least that's what happened to me.
Other kits out there act the opposite way and have the same effect that you are describing.
For me, I am able to clear a standard size magazine easily with enough to spare for another half stack. And this magazine has a high output blowoff valve installed.
To me it sounds like the o-ring on the piston head is not sealing for your set. Check to make sure that it's not damaged or anything. If it's loose, that would explain the symptoms you are describing. The easy fix would be to go to Canadian Tire and find a suitable o-ring replacement for it. One time, I brought my whole BBU there and tried on multiple o-rings for hours. I found the suitable replacement and works amazingly on my gun but it cost me a loading muzzle spring during the whole fitting time. I lost it... then I was sad forever...
If you can't find one, you can make the teflon tape modification like how some people here like to wrap them around the piston head of a GBBR. It works too.
Also, check to see if the floating valve and all that jazz is working properly and not damaged. If the spring in there is crimped in any way or if it's too strong or if it impedes the closure of the floating valve, it can impact the amount of gas your gun takes up per cycle because the valve will remain open longer than it should. Basically, you want that valve to be able to open and close fairly easily.
...or it may even be just how the magazine itself behaves. lol. But that's another story...
