Is typical of the design, easy to fix with tools and some time, but annoying non-the-less. Seen it a few times, the last time it happened I was able to fix it mid-game (I was in a tower with the owner hunting snipers so I had the time to do so) and it took me about 20mins to sort out.
This issue only happened with the first generation of Hi-Capa 5.1s. Since then, Marui has corrected the design with a cupped design rather than an o-ring, and as a result, the chance of an o-ring blowout is pretty much nil... because there isn't an o-ring anymore. :P

The same design is used on all 4.3s and P226s.
