My L85 is not shooting please help.

Postby DonkeyKong on Sun Apr 26, 2009 3:34 pm

Hey, I played at DP yesterday and as I was going through my things after getting home I noticed that my G&G L85 stopped shooting, so I charged up the battery and it still didn't fire. It doesn't make any weird noises or anything - I pull the trigger and absolutely nothing happens. Anyone think they could help me out? :|

I'm pretty sure you've pinched a wire somewhere. Or a wire has popped loose. If there's no electrical flow, nothing's going to happen.

Edit:
I found out that it was the fuse that went bad, so I replaced it. However, after test firing about 30-40 rounds the fuse blew...again. Any ideas?

Sounds like you're trying to push more power through the wires than they're designed to handle. You might still have a pinch somewhere, and when you're shooting next time I'd be careful of the wires lighting on fire, if you put a bigger fuse in.

So I was just messing around and I put another fuse in and it's shot through about 150 rounds with no problem... and it's still shooting fine.

Could the whole thing have just been a hiccup?

What kind of battery are you trying to run?
