What is broken and how to fix (Pics)

[Tanith]

I was showing my AEG off to my brother when something snapped. I think its the part of the barrel that connects to the hopup. You can see an indentation at the end of the barrel that probably shouldnt be there and you can see the hopup adjustor just hanging out and not really attached to anything, I'm literally afraid of it falling off. I don't know much/anything about Airsoft mechanics I just run around and pewpew and so far have been really lucky I suppose...

What do I need to buy/do to fix this so I can use my TM HighCycle (I know...) AUG again. If there are any ways to 'upgrade' anything along the way I'd love to hear any suggestions.

Use a screwdriver and just flick the wheel off the end of the nozzle in the bottom photo. Get the wheel out of the receiver where the barrel was removed. 

 

Insert the wheel back on and reassemble. Should be pretty simple.

 

If you want a direct upgrade/replacement then buy this.

I was under the impression it had snapped something and wasnt sure what. I checked after your suggestion of a new hopup unit and seems relatively simple, so thanks for the direction. I'll try it as is and get the hop unit if it feels janky. Cheers.

You've snapped the back of the hop unit off. New unit is pretty cheap for an AUG. The bit that has snapped holds a spacer in place.

I'd probably get a hop rubber as well since you will have it all open. To get the hop off you need to unscrew those tiny screws on the side of the plastic barrel, and the hop and inner barrel will slide out of the plastic outer barrel.

Replace the hop unit, cheap and easy to do.
