Hi, I have a stock VFC MCX Virtus I've gamed probably 40-50 times. A few times now in the middle of the game the gun makes the sound like it's going shoot, but then stops. If I pull the trigger again, you hear it try to cycle, but it won't. Pull it again, nothing. Pull it again, and it's off to the races and works fine for another couple hours. This is has happened to me now 3-4 times over the last 2 games.

So I know it's not simply the battery dying. Is this characteristic of a motor going? I've heard the stock VFC motors aren't the higher quality neodymium ones.

I can open it up and check the trigger contacts also. I'm just hesitant to take a part of the gearbox because it shoots the perject joules and I'm paranoid I'll mess it up.

Thanks!
