[Potential First Gun Advice]

Mate, get what makes you happy. I’m sure that’s the most important thing. They’re all toy guns after all - sure, some are better made and that reflects in the retail price. But ultimately, if you like it and feel like a badass wielding it, buy it and go enjoy the sport

[Tm Hk416d Semi Auto Issue]

Thanks for the points to look at.  I don’t have a multimeter but will examine the contacts. I’ve got a castle nut wrench on the way so hopefully a takedown will help

[Tm Hk416d Semi Auto Issue]

Howdy folks. 
 

Suddenly my TM 416 has developed an odd fault and I’m wondering if anyone can help. 
Mid game, it’s stopped firing on semi auto. The selector still clicks into place but nothing happens, barring I can move the trigger fully as normal (though sometimes when I move it from safe to semi it will fire once... go figure). As I said, the trigger still moves in the semi position. Just no shot is fired. 
If I shift the lever ever so slightly towards full auto, it fires in semi normally. 
Full auto works fine. 
 

Any ideas and suggestions are greatly appreciated. I think it’s the selector plate without dismantling the bugger but seeking some second opinions. I don’t actually own the wrench to take the castle nut off the back so I can’t get the gearbox out :S (to my knowledge anyway)

Damn, that Exalt mat is nice. Where’d you get it?
I just use an old, thin towel to put the gun on and a takeaway tub for the bits - clearly need to up my game!
