Many guides/people suggest to shoot your AEG in semi-auto a few times to decompress the spring. However, when I notice that when I do this to my TM AUG A2, I notice the air nozzle (when looking into the mag well) *never* fully goes forward to show that the spring is actually decompressed.

Instead, I've been storing my AUG after firing it briefly in full auto which appears to leave the air nozzle fully forward after only a few tries.

I tried out my AUG today (after a hiatus of about half a year) and the gun seems noticeably weaker. Am I not decompressing my spring properly? What can I do to check that it's decompressed without actually having to remove/disassemble the gearbox?
