Hi All,
Just bought (March 2024) a new G&G (above) with correct spec battery. Completely standard, no mods, never stripped. Tried to use it twice now, both time it fails.
First time it was dead, nothing working. Even though battery was analysed and was at 11.1V.
No jams, all mechanical parts functioning ok, it was just dead. I couldn't get it going.
Sent it back to seller, they said it was ok, and sent it back to me.
I got it, put a mag in, ran it through, seemed to be ok - it fired 1 mag. Charged it for later.
Next week, dead again!
Tried various things with the battery, found it was low, so tried to charge on the supplied quick charger, but that didn't work.
Spent another 50 quid on a balance charger, which sorted out the charge problem, so now back to a stable 11.1v.
Plugged it in, loaded up a mag, set to Semi, pulled the trigger - a load of rapid beeps from the mosfet.
Googled that, seems like the battery was down? But I took it out (its quite a tight fit on the Seekins, just FYI) checked it - 11.1v and stable!
Plugged it back in, now the mosfet emits just two beeps. Googled that and found - "A Double beep indicates an internal issue".
"An internal issue" - helpful... tried various things, but am not willing to tear it apart (its new - only shot 1 mag, never used in the field)
Now its unuseable again. I am doing more analysis on the battery on a tester and scope, but the battery is solid - no problems there.
So the question is - are these new G&G's just duds?, should I go to another manufacturer, or keep messing around with this (brand new, unmodified, unused in the field) gun?
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
TIA
