Help! m16 skips bb's when on full auto
 

when i shoot my m16 (G&G) on full auto it will sometimes double up in the barrel with 2 bb's or something becuase it will skip once or twice then a bb will have terrible range because of skipping or something. not really sure whats happening and it happens even after i make sure the mag is winded up real good. thanks

possibly just a shitty mag (hi caps tend to be shitty) You should get yourself some low and/or mid caps (most games don't allow hicaps) and try em out in it.


edit: since you will most likely ask where to get mags, http://www.airsoftparts.ca/store2/in...roducts_id=453

shitty mag, or missaligned hopup rubber...

those would work the with G&G right? and is that the best place for price?

anddddd its not supposed to skip right its supposed to shoot 1 bb everytime the action hits forward right?

You mean every time the piston cycles?
Yes, only one per cycle

hey do you need a speed loader for midcaps?

yea

well... not technically, but yes...
trying to load midcaps by hand is like getting kicked in the balls every second.

just buy one, theyre like 8 bucks

do you guys know a good sight to buy a speed loader off of with little to no shipping? becuase i went to buy it off of a site and the shipping came to 27$............

Speed loader
 

If you have a Cabellas or some place like that I have even seen them at Canadian Tire...

when your buying mags, just buy a speed loader from the same place, it probably is light enough that it wont effect the shipping price.

I recoment airsoftparts.ca

is this what you mean?

yea, that will work

i sent my gun back to buyairsoft, and it came back in over a month and a half probably abouts. they said it had broken gears and it was wearing down on threads or someting like that. anyways, i got it back and it still skips, not as bad but still once in every 10 or so..... would my hi-cap be possibly making this problem and would it be the thing that broke the gears and threads? im thinking about getting some mid-caps if my hi-cap could be possibly breaking the gun,

PS, sometimes it shoots a bb and it lands like 20 feet away, on full auto

thanks,

On semi...if your rifle shoots a bb every shot for 10 shots...there's nothing wrong with the rifle. If you switch to full and it starts to skip shots...then your magazine cannot feed bbs fast enough for the rifle. Buy good mid-cap magazines and a speed loader.

If it's only one or two bbs that drop at 20ft...then that's a problem. If it's all your shots...then turn on your hopup more.

Use good bbs. Irregular, lightweight bbs will never be consistant.

Best of luck,
