Need some help with my g&g m14 socom

[MrMayhem666]

Hi guys

AS it says above having some issues with my m14 socom ive recently purchased..

used it 2 weeks ago for first time then again today ongame day and nearer the end of the day i noticed i was having to use a tremendous amount of force pulling the trigger to get a shot off and then some times i was not even managing to get a shot off regardless of how hard i pulled?

I also noticed its more of an issue on semi auto , on full was a little better but still happening,

as im new to airsoft and dont have much experince with the guns them selves i thought i would ask those in the know to point me in the right direvtion to get it sorted!

So yeah any help you guys can give me is greatly appreciated !

Thanks

Mr Mayhem

A bit of dirt might have got inside the gearbox and inbetween the trigger contacts OR the fire selector. May be worth opening it up.

ok great, thanks, as i said fairly new to this although i done some digging and managed to find a disassembly guide for my gun, have a go at that tommorow,

thanks

Since it was towards the end of the day, what's the status of the battery?

 

What charger do you use?

[MrMayhem666]

well this was first thing i thought myself , but i came home and put the battery to the chager and it only took maybe 5 mins to signal it was full charged again, and its the we N3 compact charger with the deans adapter

What battery do you have?

 

Seems odd, a full days skirmishing only needing a 5min charge.

[MrMayhem666]

I'm pretty sure its a VP racing 8.4 v 3700 mah

I take it you don't have another battery to test?

 

If that is right, at 8.4v it sounds like a nimh, which is what your charger is for. (You can normally spot a lipo battery easy as it has an extra connector etc)

No unfortunately I don't. All good.though .dropping the rifle off to a guy from site tommorow who does gun repairs will update on cause and fix when find out thanks spoon
