It's definately not the hop-up because I worked on it yesterday. I bought new hopup rubber from the toronto airsoft convention. It's not magazine related. It's all well lubricated. It works perfectly fine in fully automatic and that's what I usually play in.
The only possible thing that I can think of to explain the weird feeding issue is the current cut-off lever, and I have no idea how it works.
In order for this situation to be true, I figure the nozzle would have to move in 3 directions per shot in semi. On the shot that fired one BB, the nozzle would start fully to the rear and finish fully forward ( BB is fired after nozzle moves forward for 1st time and a BB is chambered after it moves forward the 2nd time). The shot that fired 2 BBs would start with the nozzle fully forward, end with it fully to the rear, and 2 BBs would be fired after the nozzle completed its forward motion and chambered another BB.
and all that craziness comes down to the bevel gear turning too much, and being locked by the anti reversal latch when it shouldn't be. I'm thinking too much but I'm just trying to understand why it happens.

Thanks for the sector clip idea guys. I'll have to get me one of those me thinks.
