As you can see - the charging handle is locked on my gun. It won't return to its previous position and thus leaves the hop up open.

I only noticed this the other day whilst on a day out - It has happened before, but would always return back to its original position if I pulled back and released. This time, nothing seems to move it forward. Pushing it forward has NO effect at all and feels like it is firmly locked in place.

I have messed around with the actual charging handle lock and that doesn't seem to change anything.

Am I being incredibly stupid here or has something happened?

Note: This IS an electric blow back rifle.

 
Split the receiver and it should reset.  It's probably being caught on something on or near the right side of the gearbox.
