my gun wont shoot

hey my gun wont do anything ive checked the fuse and thats not the problem there doesnt seem to be any shorts or conection problems any ideas

is it on safety?

no ive checked everything i can think on the gun but my battery doesnt apear to be discharging it normaly takes about 2 or 3 hours but its been 4 and its still not done

Okay, because I am not familiar with everyone on this forum. Certainly with someone who is new to the forum like yourself. I am going to ask a few questions...

1) Specifically what kind of gun are you having problems with?
2) A gun not being able to fire is not really a good problem description. Take a second look at your fuse wire it should look like this ------- and not like this ---/ /---.
3) How long did you charge the batter? What kind of battery? What kind of charger?
4) What bb weight are you using... .2, .25...etc?
6) Did anything sound out of place before you began having this problem?
7) Is your gun under manufacturer warranty? If so, have you attempted to dis-assemble the gun since you've had this problem?

1)CYMA AKM
2)the fuse is in tact as i said above and what happens is when i pull the trigger the is no motion noise or anything else
3)it had been charged for about 3 hours but had been used for about 600 shots befor i stoped being able to shoot...battery=8.4volt and 1400 mAh charger
4).2
6)(there was no 5)no
7)no and not compleatly meaning i took nothing of that isn't supposed to for regular maintenance

Sorry there was no 5 lol. I am a little tired (camping in sub-zero weather)

Well the only thing I can think of right now is there is a break somewhere else in the circuit. Porbably the connection between the trigger harness and the battery can unplug if you pull hard enough on the terminals just covered with heat shrink.

I say start taking down the body and find out if there are any breaks in the wiring.


Oh and a big thing that will kill batteries quickly is the cold, were you in the middle of a skirmish when this happened? Have you tried another battery?

ok first when u said pull hard enuff did u mean on the trigger and no i wasn't i was just shooting but it was under 20 out

How long have you had the battery?

No no. Sometimes you can accidentally cause the wire to unplug if you were pulling on the wires to get the battery in...Something of that nature, not pulling the trigger.

Yea pretty much anything under 20 will effect any battery. I mentioned I went camping, my friend had her ipod and only worked for 20 minutes then the battery went dead...fully charged. Later in the day, after keeping it in her pocket, it warmed up and lasted for a good hour or so until she turned it off.

Get someone elses battery, or recharge your battery inside, then go try to shoot again.

And if your skirmishing in the cold, just be careful. Keep your gun warm because the gearbox shell can crack in 20-below weather. Its just not a good idea to skirmish in the cold at all.

ok ill try to check the wires and try out another battery and the keeping it warm thing thanks for ur help tommorow ill let u know how it went

Mhmm then, with a small battery like that and being that cold it very well could be just the battery. It was in the low 30's today and we had several guns go down due to the cold after the first 2 or 3 games.

I'd check the battery later and try and shoot a few shots maybe inside even if you just have to dry fire a few shots. You can also like LW said try someones else's battery and see what happens. It really seems like it's either the cold or there's a problem somewhere along the wire path.

ok today i tryed my battery and still no luck im going to try my friends battery latter and if that doesnt work check into the wiring

you might want to look at the motor conections.

k

ok everyone i have fixed the gun there were some loose wires and the gear box was out of place

psh that makes sense
