My M4 just stopped!

[bushmonkey]

Ok, so playing along as usual and it just stops...no screaching or anything, just stops.

i go back to the safe zone suspecting a flat battery, this isnt the case. Then i think wiring problem, but it cant be because when the trigger is pulled you can heard the motor trying to turn.

This suggests a gearbox problem...
Is the likelihood of pre-engagement very likely?
Personally i think it is because it has a ROF of close to 30RPS and is running at only 290FPS..

Any thoughts?..
(it has gone to gun doc today so should be fixed)

cheers,

Re: My M4 just stopped!

hey if you can hear the motor clicking in the pistol grip . it more then likely gearbox trip needs to be taken .

the antirevearsal switch needs to be moved back to its location

so basically you need to go in your gear box if your confidant enough because mech box has locked up

Re: My M4 just stopped!

couldnt be the piston. itd screech if that went

take the top reciver off and see if the pistons locked back

Re: My M4 just stopped!

there is a long list of things this could be , had an upgraded GB do the same was not till i stripped it down i found out it was a lose shim that got stuck in a gear there was no damage lucky for me

Re: My M4 just stopped!

Basically a mechbox lock up due to increased mechanical resistance. There is also the faint possibility of a poor contact not allowing enough power through to turn the GB. But the way it happened suggests mechanical failure. I'm sure your techie will have it fixed in no time.

Re: My M4 just stopped!

can we ask what was the problem in the end ?

[The Keeper of Secrets]

Re: My M4 just stopped!

My bet's on a mechanical lock up, I.e the piston right back at the end of the shot, and the battery just doesn't have the power to turn the motor that last little bit to release the piston.

Re: My M4 just stopped!

your guess is as good as mine..
i am yet to have any reply from my gun doc...
