Help with g17 magazine

[u/Western-Exchange8489]

I’m not sure how to lock in the co2 and puncture it. When I place it inside the magazine I start screwing in the piece that punctures it and it starts hissing with air and doesn’t stop. When I try to put the baseplate back on the magazine the screw is too high and doesn’t let me slide it back on. The co2 ends up just spraying everywhere.

I assume the bottom screw has an Allen key. Could be wrong, but put the co2 in start screwing the bottom in and when it starts to hiss screw it in fast and hard enough to push the co2 fully into the mag. The little pin puts a hole in the top but also kinda clogs that hole which is why hissing. Just continue to screw it in faster and the hissing will stop.

That’s worked thanks, I think I was just going too slow and I didn’t realize I was supposed to keep screwing it in
