Laser help

[Mango]

I have a PEQ AN/15 with a green laser in but it doesn't always work, normally you can turn it on and then if u hit the gun a couple of times it goes to full strength beam, but it will randomly disappear or just go really weak sometimes.

Is it possibly a dodgy connection somewhere?

Does anyone know what could be causing this and how to fix it? (also shooting sometimes makes it disappear, the movement of the gun or something I guess).

Thanks,

Sounds like it. Is it on a pressure pad?

No I stopped using the pressure pad cause I thought it might have been the problem

Re: Laser help

Does the PEQ also have a torch, and is that also affected?

Re: Laser help

It does but I never really use it, when I have used it I haven't noticed the same problem though.

Re: Laser help

Well, if the torch isn't affected, it's most likely the wiring to the laser

If it is affected, then it's most likely the battery connection or wiring

Re: Laser help

will open it up and have a look hopefully without breaking anything

Re: Laser help

they're pretty agricultural inside, if there's a problem with the wiring connections you'll be able to see it.
