Airgun Technologies New AGT magazines?

I posted recently re: a new V3 700mm in .22 that I recently purchased. They come with two mags - 12 shots per for .22. I already had four of them for the smaller 500m V3 that I already own. Initially I didn't notice the new magazines that the new gun came with as both are same caliber - so I was just using existing. When I did finally bust out the new magazines to glob them together with the other four that's when I noticed (visually) " . . . .? somethings different . . . . " I loaded one of 'em up and started shooting - pew! pew! pew . . . . and then after a while -- "phhhht!"

Huh? Cock it and shoot again. --> "Phhht!" ( mumbling to myself . . . ) "Sounds like it's shooting air - like my HW100 or Taipan's do . . .

It is. :( WTF?? These new mag's - while 13 shots now DON'T have the auto-stop thing ( you can't cock it anymore when mag = empty ).

Me no like - I'd just assume have only 12 shots and know when the mag is done.

Anyway - that's my "rant". ( lol ) The new gun is great! I've got some batches of ammo coming in for testing per you guys recommendations - some zan's, some VK's and some NSA's - we shall see.
 
no more auto stop ?? thats not good !!
i have a total of 12 mags for .22, .25 and .30 all are old school and smooth as silk with auto stop.
if a new mag is produced, it needs to be better than previous version..... :cautious:
I'll post up a pic of one of them in a day or two to show you guys. They do (so far) seem to work well - but I'm not a fan of the no auto-stop.
 
Sorry guys - got wicked busy at work and with other stuff - just remembered I had this on my cell phone. Old and new mag. I'm thinking may just fill the #13 hole with epoxy or something that would wind up being relatively solid to make it an auto-stopper like the "good" old ones. Again - it seems to work just fine -- BUT -- if not keeping track / count of shots you're gonna wind up trying to wack that <whatever - pigeons or starlings usually in my case> with a "killer poof of air" and they're ( the intended prey) just gonna flip you off. ( lol )
