A huge part that's often overlooked by newcomers to airsoft is that:
- these are very expensive toys
- 90%+ are made of pretty cheap/flimsy materials...operating under strain...at high speeds/forces. The other 10% are still operating under the same conditions...they are just built better and cost 300% more than the typical stuff out there now.
- 100% of them can fail with little to no warning signs
- there is almost no way to tell when/how/what will fail
- they are not "precision" items...in that there are tolerance issues all over the place
- Typically...none of them are that spectacular out of the box...but nearly all of them can be made much better with tuning/upgrades/etc...
- Typically, out of the box, they are not "accurate" like a real rifle can be. Instead of shooting minute of angle...they are shooting minute of chest/body.
Tuned/upgraded/"good" guns and parts only hedge your bets against the above...they do not mitigate the risks completely.
Sorry to hear about your frustration. To be honest...that's bad luck and how it goes sometimes. I'd be pissed too...but your choices are to either chalk it up to a loss or dive in and fix it. Lots of guys are very disappointed initially because their expectations aren't in line with the reality of it all.
