I recently bought a TM Steyr AUG from Den Trinity and played with it at the May 2-3 game in Prescott. I have maybe had the AUG for two weeks and during a game it stopped working. I was side-stepping (quickly) and shooting full auto and suddenly the gun stopped firing. When I pulled the trigger, nothing happened at all... no noise or anything. Here's what I did to try to correct the problem:
I first thought that it was a dead battery so I swapped it out for a fresh one. didnt change a thing.
I then thought that a BB was caught it the chamber so I checked and everything was clear.
I checked the fuse and it was just fine.
Paco took the gearbox and motor out of my gun and we decided to plug in the battery and completing the circuit while the motor was separated from the gear box. when pulling the trigger, nothing happened at all. No sound or sparks or anything.
Paco thought that it had to be the motor since all the connections looked fine, but when I took the gun home and tried it for fun, it worked. Now sometimes my gun will work and sometimes it won't do anything at all. I tried using both of my batteries, shaking the battery conection while firing, jumping around, shaking the gun, but there doesn't seem to be any pattern.
My only guess can be that plasic connector on the gun for the battery to connect to might be causing the battery to come loose every once and a while, but I can't really tell. Basically it must be the batteries, the battery connections, the connections to the motor, the motor itself, or the trigger mechanism.
I wrote Den Trinity with my issue two days ago, but they have not returned my e-mail (I doubt that the can really help anyway).
If anyone has any suggestions, I will try anything. I'm not electrically illiterate, so I'm not afraid of breaking the gun.
Thnx for your help guys!
