Sako Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Got my first AGE today, however my charger hasn't turned up yet, I was giving the gun a look over and noticed that it isn't possible to pull the trigger, it feels locked like the safety is on, is this normal until a battery is connected? Sorry for the silly question but I'm used to real firearms where it's possible to try your trigger out. Thankyou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike1971 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 What is the make and model of the AEG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sako Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 It's a king arms S&W M&P15 MOE, I bought it second hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickona Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 This might seem silly but you have tried pulling the trigger not on safe? Assuming so, I've never had an airsoft gun that the trigger hasn't pulled without a battery so there might be an issue with the actual gun... the fact its second hand makes me think there may be an issue with the gun itself.. Have you asked the seller about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sako Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Tried with it selected in each mode, the battery is dead and my charger won't be here until tomorrow, he says it will just be hung up / not completed cycle and once I get the battery in and a quick burst on full auto it will sort itself out.

two_zero Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 no such thing as stupid questions - just stupid question askers! Just kidding! No, there is something wrong with the gun if you cant pull the trigger. how does he expect you to do a quick burst on full auto without pulling the trigger??! he probably didn't read your enquiry properly. Because when you fire it on semi, sometimes the circle does not complete, and you need to shoot a quick burst on full auto to get it working again. This however does not affect the trigger pull. I will not force the trigger as you might damage it further. I'd either send it back or have him pay for a mechanic to fix it... unless someone else here can suggest a solution.

Nickona Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Yea what he said definitely doesn't sound right.. I could understand that is it wasn't feeding or slow response but not if the physical trigger isn't moving The best thing you can do is get a working battery in it ASAP.. if he's a scammer he'll be stalling for the paypal claims deadline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sako Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Thanks for the replies, I will get the battery charged tomorrow and see if it might allow me to pull the trigger on auto...gently I might add. Fingers crossed it bursts into life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sako Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Just for further clarity, the trigger appears to be in its most rearward direction, as in it can't be pulled anyway. Hope once I get a battery in it resets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickona Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Well triggers in airsoft guns are basically switches so they should turn on and off even if there's no current. I hope I'm wrong though and it does just need a battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sako Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Well thanks to UPS I still don't have my damn charger, so unable to determine the issue, allegedly it will be here on Monday...I really don't rate UPS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russe11 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 If you can take it to a skirmish, someone will lend you a battery. There may even be someone who can tell what's wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sako Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 I'm away to a skirmish on the second, my charger will be here tomorrow, if it doesn't work I may just have a bash at stripping it down...hoping it won't be too difficult! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickona Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 If it doesn't work definitely get back onto the seller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sako Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Yeah, tried a battery today, there was no response at all, the trigger is jammed solid. I have emailed the seller tonight to see what he has to say, might see if he will pay for the gun to be sent to a shop for repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two_zero Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 remember to open a dispute on paypal in time. when doing so, its good idea to explain that you have done it and saying you will close it as soon as the issue been resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK47frizzle Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I was going to say open up the gearbox..... but then all of you will be infuriated and go mad about voiding the warranty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickona Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Don't open anything up! He'll just be able to claim it was your fault Just let the guy know whats happened. If he doesn't get back to you tomorrow open up a dispute on paypal to kick him into gear. However, try not to mention its an RIF as paypal don't cover RIFs.

Sako Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Ok there is some strange news to update here, I thought I'd stick the battery back in and have another play, this time I held a small amount of pressure on the trigger and moved the selector, the trigger tried to move and there was an attempt of the gun turning over...I then tried again and it did turn over and cycle, the trigger freed up! I have successfully gone through 500 - 600 rounds now between semi and auto, and its been flawless...what the he'll was wrong with it???!!!

two_zero Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 what the........ well that's the weirdest airsoft tech I've heard, congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sako Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 No congratulations yet I'm afraid, the fault cleared only short term...the trigger does move now, but the gun feels like it's struggling to turn over, it just seems to click and attempt to cycle (almost like a weak battery), but I charged it and am sure it's fine...think this needs sent to a technician to try and fix.

Sako Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Seller has been in contact all day, he has worked out that it seems he has given me a beggared battery, as it only lets me fire for a few rounds then needs recharged, I have a new battery on its way, he says this will definitely be the issue, as it was an older battery he threw in with the gun for me...as always the first thing I should have checked was that the battery was healthy!

jay83 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 thats an easy fix. Glad its sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sako Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Yeah, always the first thing you SHOULD check I guess, I am suitably embarrassed to say the least! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike636 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 If you get your new battery and you still hear that clicking it might also be the motor bushes if it's an older gun, you can pick them up new for a couple of quid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
