I remember one game that was a loosely based WW2 game, to simulate guns of the time, largely Garands, bolt actions and such, everyone had to use semi only on both the German and the US side. I think only two players on each side was allowed to use full auto in bursts. My point is, in situations like that, I'd load my locaps full, then insert and remove each mag to "depressurize" the mag a bit.)

So, looks like it's a common thing across a few designs by various companies, I wouldn't worry about it at all.

Ok, just saw your reply, put a drop of silly oil right down the loading nozzle the mag feeds, then hold it upside down (P90 in your case, right side up) and dry fire it for a few bursts. Should do that every 2000rds or so as regular maintenance (as well as cleaning your barrel). Another thing you should do, maybe once per year, is saturate a mag's worth of BBs in silly oil, then load them into your mag, dump them into a bowl, load again using the same BBs, then dump and move onto the next mag. Mag internals need a bit of oil as well as gun internals (ok, mechbox grease only). I've had a few of my mags misfeed, the above technique fixed them perfectly. And those that had similar problems have had that fix work great too.
Huh, I was just thinking about lubing it and the magazines. Haven't done any maintance except for cleaning with a cotton swab and the cleaning rod since I bought this thing almost a year ago.
