My Gun Froze Up! Expert Advice Needed
Okay.... this is sort of a continuation from my last post so here is the relevent information from it with more detail:
So I was playing in a game this past Saturday and all of the sudden my gun completely froze up. It wasn't in the middle of a burst or anything. It just happend right when I got a guy in my sights and pulled the trigger, nothing happend. This was after I shot maybe 1000 rounds through it with no problem. It locked up so bad I thought that there was absolutely no current running into the gun so naturaly I thought one of the wires on the motor came undone. So I opened the motor compartment and checked but the wires were fine. I closed it back up and the gun worked again... for another few rounds that is. And then it did it again, so I did the same thing a couple more times but it kept doing it so I stopped messing with it. Basically I could sqeeze off maybe 10 rounds at most and then the gun would freeze up. And I mean locked up tight. There gun wouldn't even make a noise when the trigger was pulled but I know it was locked up because the battery would get warm.
I have opened my gun and inspected it. I don't see anything really wrong with it. There is wear on the gears but nothing that would make the gun freeze up. I took everything out of it except the gears and spun them and they spin just fine, freely and smoothly. I opened the gun put the cylinder unit and piston in and turned the gears to see the contact between the sector gear and piston... seems fine. I looked at all the teeth fairly closely and they all look straight. I am puzzled as to what the heck happend.
Does anyone have any ideas? I know one major clue has to be that when I opend the motor compartment and then closed it I could get off some rounds, then it would lock up but if I opened it again it would fire again. This thing has me stumped. PLEASE HELP
