Thanks for the video Guido. It makes me feel better about not buying an Orion. They look a bit cheap and nasty. I own both a Poseidon P18 Shark and We Tech G17. The Poseidon P18 Shark is a far better quality and more accurate GBB than the We Tech G17. On colder mornings the WE G17 ices up after 4 or 5 mags in rapid succession, whereas the Poseidon P18 Shark does not. Poseidon's internal anti-icing system and hop-up works well. My Poseidon P18 Shark has never had an issue since I bought it back in March 2021. The only thing I changed was the rear sight to a normal Glock sight. They're worth every cent of the $600 I paid for it with a spare magazine. Here is a tip. Modify the feed lips on the We Tech G17 mags and will fit the Poseidon /Orion. At the back of the We G17 magazine there is a U shaped notch where the rocket nozzle pusher bar passes through to pick up the gel. Widen that U shaped notch a couple of mm and the We Tech magazines will fit and work perfectly in the Poseidon / Orion. The Poseidon nozzle has a wider pusher bar than the WE G17, which no doubt contributes to breaking fewer gels. I really like my We G17 as well, but I won't buy another We Tech after the Beretta and SIG P226 USMC debacle. The two retailers have lied repeatedly about getting spare magazines for them.

Orion 3 owner here. i have not had any issues at all with mine perhaps you have a bad set of feed lips. they do sell them online i think. the gap in the mag is so you can double stack it easy i have fitted 20 in but 17 is easy. I have only used hard gels and seem to get about 280fps the only mod that i made was to use the narrow end of a zip tie to reduce the barrel movement that seems to have mad it a bit more accurate. the mag end flipping did tick me off at first but its so you can re-gas it quickly you dont remove the end you just slide it back. other than that its been great i use it as my primary. if your in Brisbane i will let you have a crack with mine.

No problems with my Orion-III. I control grow AKAs with bicarb and have never had problems with it. Averages around 260 FPS. Planning on running it with my stormbreaka once I get my U48 Tank refilled.

It's good to see GBBs are just as fickle with the YT luminaries as they are with us plebs. This kind of explains why Orions are showing up on the secondhand market for surprisingly cheap even though they're still relatively new. You may have (again) saved me some dosh... that I will obviously spend on other blaster.

The poseidon video i just watched said gels need to be under 7.5mm and the lips on the mag were probably tight cause it's new so said bend them out i bit and don't worry if they come apart just super glue that's how the factory does it ,hopefully this helps a bit and the video was from rpm tech shop

Sounds fine to me. The gels are fed from right at the bottom of the mag. You still have around 20 or so gels in front of the mag feed wheel when you are empty. By turning the blaster upside down it gravity feeds them into the t-piece to fire them out. You are just empty, refill and have fun.

Each their own, I've had zero issues with my Orion 3 since buying it.. other than user error. That being said i'm only using AKA tenacity and usually with a stormbreaker as opposed to the mags. and i only noticed the balls deep when someone pointed it out to me a few days ago :P goes to show how much i look at it :D function over form?

This is honestly pretty strange. Only issue I've had with my Orion was a top screw coming loose, which is my own fault for not using loctite when put the adapter plate on. Have used it at plenty of games - AKAs, Black Labels, Elites.. all work a treat. Maybe a batch issue? Did you reach out to RPM? My review for reference: kzitem.info/news/bejne/xmyJx2uOhXamq6Q

I have the same feeding issues with both mags that I bought last week. Reached out to rpm to help via email. I am sure they will resolve my queries when they return to work. I get the same missed feeds and double shots as guido illustrates, same issue from 22:20-24:30. I bought a Poseidon 3. I am using aus gel ultras, grew 3 batches 2.5, 3.5, and 4.5 hrs; all had similar issues, 2.5 didn’t grow to a large enough size though and spewed through the mag lips. Also, bent lips as suggested for every test. I will try other gel balls tomorrow, ronin. I have 2 more mags on the way. Atm my perception is not good. We will see what happens. The blaster is great, just not the mags at this point in time. Both mags have the same issue.

I control grew both ronins and ausgel to 7mm. Also, I removed the lips split them open, and super glued the rubber splits. I then reinstalled and bent the lips open. I was successful in getting through a full magazine using ronin gels. Double shots with breaks also work well. However, the mag plays too much in the pistol stock and both my mags still have feeding issues. This week I will visit rpm to see if there is anything they can do. I am sure I will get to the bottom of it and help others along the way.

Alright. My Blaster is now firing consistently. RPM have two types of mag lips, rubber and plastic. Rubber are more suited to advanced players that know where to source premium hard gels and know how to control grow them to ensure a consistent size of around 7.3mm. While, plastic lips have wider lips and feed inconsistent gels easier. I opted to change all my mag lips to plastic. Both, ausgels and ronins soaked for 3 hours worked without a hitch even though some balls were a bit oval or oversized. Also, newer Orion mags come with plastic lips. Note that plastic lips will break if they land on concrete. RPM Tip: Grow gels at room temperature for the first hour. Place in fridge for the remaining growth period. The gels will grow more circular and all will be a similar size. I am now very happy.
