| Ok well i charged my battery for my m4 put it in 30minutes after charge.Then put it on semi auto and pull the trigger.No fire,so i took it inside and took apart the stock to see if i can figure out what is wrong.Plug in battery without stock and then i noticed my fuse turned red.What turned red was the little peice of metal inside of it.All the wires are blazing hot and battery heated up.Anyone know what might be wrong or know how to fix this problem?NO matter what i do it wont fire. | |

| The fuse is not the problem, the fuse is giving you the warning that you have an electrical problem with your gun.
Does the Fuse start to Glow right after you plug in the Battery? Short Circut, in the wiring.
Does the fuse Glow after or when you pull the trigger ? Short on the switch assembly, or GB Jam. Can also be that the Battery is reverse poled and your motor is attempting to spin backwards, ( Also check the connections on your motor for reverse poling ) | |

| Ok and a fuse doesn't cost 20-30$ I can go pick up a small box of 4 for less than $5 | |

| Have you tried using a different battery? What Voltage is your battery? What is the make of your gun?
What happening is the battery is either shorting out somewhere (most likely) or perhaps the motor is burnt out.
Smell the grip, does it smell burnt? Take the motor out and hook it up to a small power source (do not exceed 9v or you WILL ruin your motor) does it spin? If not, there's your problem, a burnt out motor.
Follow the wires and make sure they are not crossed or frayed. If you find crossed frayed wires then you should fix that and retry the gun. You may have to replace wires, just take the ones you pull out to a radio shack and find the same gauage.
Open that gun up and find the problem, most faults are fixable with a little luck and know how. | |

| your looking for 16gauge wires. and you would need to buy new tamiya heads. Or buy a complete wiring harness from a airsoft store. Making sure it is the right length for your gun. | |

| When your fuse glows as soon as you hook a battery up to the wiring harness, you have a short, somewhere along the harness you are closing the circuit, and shorting out the gun. | |
