Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Brand-new FAMAS died quietly

The gun arrived on monday from Tru without error. I bought a battery on tuesday (7.2 volt) from a local RC store, worked fine. I fired it a bit yesterday and it was working like a dream, full auto and semi. I go and fire off a couple shots out side today and it works fine, although I notice then when a shoot full auto slanting towards the ground after I stop firing a bb falls out, I decided to go into the garage and make sure it is firing at all (inside i can hear the ricochet and I know it is working). I fire off a shot or two and it works fine, i lower the muzzel to the ground as I inspect a few shards of shattered bb's and then I return to firing, although when i raise up the gun to take a shot, nothing happens. There is not as much of a "pull" on the trigger, its not hanging loose, but it feels like its disconnected somewhere. I belive that the trigger assembly may have disconnected from the motor somehow, mind you I was shooting the stock TM bb's. It will not fire in either full or semi auto. I'm scared it could be horribly broken, although I do not hear anything shaking around inside. Do you know what could be the problem? There was no loud snapping, no springs popping, no hisses, or clanks, the motor just doesn't fire. I hope that it is a simple fix of somesort. I am so fucked.

Thanks for your help.
