My gun is shooting LOUD.
29 December, 2010, 23:26
Hey guys, just finished my re-wire, all working fine. However i just put my gun back together, now it shoots fine,
but
for some reason it is shouting
very
loud! And i mean loud! (Yes it is firing BB's...) I have a feeling it is something i have done when assembling it, it's and ics m4 so has the split gearbox, could i have maybe dislodged a gear? I don't know just a thought...
Anyway, any help greatly appreciated,
Cheers,
Josh

Re: My gun is shooting LOUD.
You're going to have to try and describe the sound...

Re: My gun is shooting LOUD.
hmm, i put the spring on, but still it seems louder than i thought it would be, is there a certain way the spring should fit on?... It may just be since i havn't heard it in a while...

Re: My gun is shooting LOUD.
The spring you are describing pushes the motor away from the gearbox, against the motor height adjustment screw.
It shouldn't be possible to to put it on incorrectly.....
But if you have ended up with a graunching type noise, it could be that your motor height is not right. Try adjusting it to see if the noise changes. (Unscrew it to lower the motor height).

Re: My gun is shooting LOUD.
To adjust motor height, do i either loosen the two screws attaching the plate, or adjust the hex screw, either tighter or looser? Thanks

Re: My gun is shooting LOUD.
The two outer screws hold the motor plate on the grip and should be firmly, but not overly, tightened.
The middle screw, which in your case has a hex head, adjusts the motor height.
Anti-clockwise to lower (more likely the solution)
Clockwise to raise the motor.

That should be loose enough, be careful if you need to tighten it back up, because if its too tight, your fuse will blow when you pull the trigger.

Re: My gun is shooting LOUD.
do the motor plate screws back up, dont adjust the height of the motor too much and if you hear no change put it back... have you an amplifier on the gun?

They don't NEED a fuse, but it is best to have one, as it will prevent damage to your gun if you have any electrical faults.
