So I bought a used honey badger the other day, but the guy said it was never used. I talked to a local retailer about it the gun and he said a common issue with M4 mags in the gun is sometimes it doesn't feed the BBs, and a simple fix is a new hop up. I bought a second mag, a G&G plastic mid cap, since my gun can take standard M4 mags. I tried it at home using several year old bio BBs as those were the only bios I had, and for the backyard, that's preferred. I noticed that the BBs jammed up a couple times in the mag, and when it did feed the BBs in, it would not shoot.

Then tonight, using my gun for the first time indoors, I tried the new mag with Valken .25 BBs and it would not fire. Brought it to the store and bought a new hop up, as the guy said it's a common issue. He installed it on the spot and I went on my way. The BBs still wouldn't fire. A guy there overheard my problem and said that the gun will only fire with Ares magazines, and the BBs don't matter. Another guy there confirmed it and also said that Ares guns only work with Ares mags. But then another guy said that it was because I was using cheap BBs, those being the Valken .25s. I tried some of his BBs (forget brand) and the new mag worked like a charm with them. So I think from now on I'm just gonna buy better BBs (figured Valken's weren't that bad...), but I'm curious, has anyone else had a similar issue with their Honey Badger or any other gun where it would not shoot based on the BBs or the mag, even tho it was feeding into the hop up?
