I have a problem with my TM 5.1, it seems to only get off ~18 shots before my magazine (4.3) runs of out. I have a metal slide so i understand that it uses more gas. Is this normal? Maybe I don't fill my mags with enough gas? How long do you usually fill it for?

Edit: I think i found the problem, Not 100% sure but 90%. After taking everything apart, including the magazines, i found that the insides of the mags were filled with gunk. After cleaning it all up and resealing it, one of my mag is functional again =D (28 - 30 shots) but my other one stayed the same. It seems that the mag itself was not filling with gas, its not leaking. After gassing it, i couldn't even get a single shot off. Maybe the fill valve (maybe not the correct term, sorry) is broken or something.
