New Guy - New Gun - but it wont shoot??

[AimTru]

Hi
I was hoping to go out tomorrow to try out the Classic Arms AK47 I have (new to Airsoft) I charged the battery for the recomended three hours using the wall mount charger it came with, loaded the mag, plugged it all in and it shot fine for about a dozen shots and then nothing? CHecked the connections and the mag - ok Its not making any whirring or grinding noises but I guess it could be jammed. I took the battery out and put it on an RC car peak charger (should have used that the first time) and it peaked up in minutes so I dont think the battery was flat? (I heard they can jam if the battery runs flat) Anybody have any ideas before I take it back on Monday?
Cheers

Its ok - I pulled it to bits - traced power wires from battery to motor, it was getting power, removed motor and pulled trigger - it spun so trigger switch etc all ok, manually whirred the gearbox cogs around, reassembled and it works now. Gearbox must have locked up somehow, Someone said there are guys in the club who can fit anti jammers - is that correct?
Still not sure if its 100% as it doesnt make as much noise or kick as hard as the Glock pistol I have? Mind you thats gas powered so I guess it would make more noise?
Anyhow if I can I will com out tomorrow - perhaps one of you experienced guys can have a look for me?
Cheers

Hey there. Yeah it sounds like you just jammed your gun. Good work on un jamming it!
It happens if you try and shoot to rapidly or if you don't complete trigger pulls properly.

As far as the noise goes, gas guns are almost always louder. Also electric guns dont have recoil most of the time. However there is a new series of tokyo marui electric blowback guns that are supposed to have recoil. They cost about a thousand million dollars though.

I don't know about fitting un-jammers but we can certainly show you the easy way to unjam guns, it takes only a couple of minutes.

Anyway see you tomorrow!

Sweet thanks - yeah I think I pulled far too much off of it in the end! Never mind

I dont have any gear yet (ie clothes etc is it ok in civvies?)
