As well, one of my mags consistently shoots 8-10 shots as a light strike. It will cycle but not enough for it to catch the slide catch. It will also sound very dainty. After said 8-10 shots it will fire like normal.
Are any of these problems fixable gremlins? I kinda dont want to have a ton of propane tanks lying around half empty.

The propane issue is normal. When you fill the magazine with the propane tank, all you're doing is equalizing the pressure between the two containers. Thus, as pressure decreases due to a lack of propane filling the fixed volume that is the tank, you'll end up with less pressure in the magazine, and less to work with when it comes to firing the gun. There really is no solution, though making your guns more efficient helps.
The light strike may be because of your hammer spring or magazine temperature properties unique to that particular magazine.
