[excuse my lazy 'i-I's, ipad doesn't autocorrect them with this keyboard and with technology I've (the effort in that shift key though) become quite lazy..] So i work offshore, and if anybody else does I'm sure they'll agree that when you're bored and go online, it's very easy to spend money.. so, amazon cart, £210.50 -4000 .25g 'gunfire rockets' BBs -a 1 to 2 point interchangeable sling -bolle cobra safety goggles - anti mist - clear (we get similar tinted ones for work and they seem perfect!) -viper belt with 7 various pouches -protect protocol belt (thinking the viper might not quite fit, so this good quality one with a secure buckle) -leg holster (2nd time lucky hopefully, only managed to fit my M9 barrel in the last one, that claimed to fit..) -black baseball cap -OD dump pouch -'condor' 2x3 molle m4 mag pouch, with quick release tabs (nothing gets a guy shot like a 3 inch velcro tab..) -'topoutdoor' tactical gloves (knuckle guard and what LOOKS LIKE semi-decent finger grip) -black combats -coiled lanyard (my -STILL 2 TONE ORANGE- M9 spent 3 days in the garden, searched for 2 hours, with 3 guys. still works!) -khaki/black shemagh -H&S tactical mesh goggles (i like that mesh cant fog, but we skirmish at night and I'm not sure about vision) -Peradon aluminium 1 piece snooker case (not quite airsoft related. but we play snooker and get drunk in the basement before hitting the bunker, so it's kind of related..?) so that's amazon.. it's also not official yet but my mate is picking me up a G&G CM16 Raider-L when he's in London! so total cost, we'll round it up to £400, because I'll fill the fridge on skirmish day to return the favour!

Sounds perfect then, cheers mate! Well I've always wanted mine on the shorter side, but because I currently have a pretty perfect length gun already I don't wanna just get another, worried I might jinx myself into never getting it fixed! Once it's up and running anyway I might even want to get this new one even longer still, longer barrel, extend the rails, bigger scope and a bipod!

So much of this means absolutely nothing to me until i get an opportunity to open a gun up myself, might give it a crack when I'm home because even if my mate does find it's something small like the fuse or whatever I don't know how quick a fix it would be. I think I'll go with the vote and get myself a G&G to use until I can see what's up with the JG myself. any experience with the CM16 Raiders? http://airsoftzone.co.uk/cm16-m4-raider-l-aeg-gng?filter_name=G&G%20M4 My mate is going back to London in a week and providing they've got any in stock he can pick one up for me and avoid getting a two tone!

Thanks guys, some really quick and helpful advice! I'm gonna give my friends brother -the one who knows a bit- this link as he's back at the house where my gun is in the next couple of days. I'll see if he can have a look at the fuse etc as you mentioned and see what he can find

Yeah I've heard that myself, G&G will definitely be my next gun,might just bite the bullet (excuse the pun) and order one soon to be safe for the battles, and make this one a project if I can't get help soon! yeah, it worked perfect, until it didn't. Pulled the trigger and got nothing at all, i actually thought it may have been electrics, as first time i used it, i was actually drunk, and think I forced the battery the wrong way at first. I tried both of my batteries and my friends one, and still nothing at all. that's why I do think it's maybe still electrical. My friend who is quite gun-handy thought it was maybe the motor but swapped it with his and still nothing. Is there any way to just buy a kind of wire-web ready for a gun, and you can just dismantle it and change the wires? I seen a few people complaining about this model and I can't decide if I'm experiencing a common problem, or if I've just forced on a stupid fault of my own!

Long story short, I've been meaning to buy a gun for around 8 years, and 6 months ago i finally did. got some awesome savings ordering from US on Labor Day! the gun is stupidly cheap compared to guns in the UK, but i was told that's due to competition with other companies, and actual real firearms.. anyway, the parts all seemed sound, and first time using the gun worked a treat. Next weekend however was a different story, test fired it in the basement and all was fine, 10 minutes later we went to head out, i pulled the trigger and nothing happened.. This is my first gun, I didn't expect it to be perfect but with the good looking specs I didn't expect it to be so problematic so quickly. basically, I'm at sea just now, I get home in 2 weeks and my friends family will all be back for their easter skirmishes. I dont have time to come home, find the gun's fault and THEN order parts, not to mention i know very little about what I'm even doing.. here is the link to the gun, http://www.evike.com/products/45648/ going by the the spec is, and the 'ready to upgrade' gearbox, could anybody advise me of another other parts to swap, brands that will be better or worse, whatever is compatible with each other. I have no idea where to start, I don't even remember the specs looking that good -or they do to a novice like me anyway-, so I'm hoping some of the more experienced guys out there could be a help!
