So I test fired my rifle today. After siting it in, I was pretty impressed with the range. The pattern on full auto was good to up around 125 feet with just the .20g BB. I'm sure to get a smaller pattern with the .25-.30 rounds. My friend who owns a $1,000 M4 was pretty impressed with this gun too. This is my first gun, so i don't know much about it, but when I fire in the semi mode, sometimes my trigger locks up as if it was on safe. Firing a burst of auto will fix this. I think it has something to do with me not compressing the trigger all the way when on semi. Also the one real problem I had was that the included tan midcap had problems feeding after it was around half way empty. The highcap works wonders though, but it is grey and does not match the rifle. I will probably spray paint it later.

Sounds like it's performing very well , grats! The lock-up on semi-auto is common with most AEG rifles, try moving the selector just past the semi-auto mode towards full-auto and see if it unlocks. If it does it's just a small common issue with the mechanical safety. There isn't really a fix, but you get used to switching to semi-auto by moving the selector just past the semi-auto position and then back. My Classic Army G36K does this almost all the time and I haven't been able to fix it while playing with the mechanism, so I just got into the habit of pushing the selector a little past semi with my thumb.

Bought the AUG, I'll let you know how it is when it comes in

Provide photos when you get 'er! Did you end up getting that tightbore at the same time?

O and my friend and I decided that this would be boss:

We use tracers a lot when playing indoor, mostly because our indoor arena is also a laser-tag style arena so it's very low light all the time. However airsoft here is about the gear and stuff just as much as the guns and gameplay so people also use real NVG's and IR lasers to designate targets and such.

I didn't get the tightbore, I can't really afford it at the moment, running off of allowance here xD.
Looking for a job soon.

It's not the just safety causing the lock up, its the spring being so compressed that the motor can't finish pulling it without a continuous supply of juice, which the selector inhibits on the semi-automatic setting.

That's a completely different reason for the AEG not firing on semi, he stated that the trigger locked up like it was in safe though, so I doubt it's this.

If this IS the issue you're having DELTA, you can fix it with a MOSFET unit. Or buy a Systema PTW lol.

I still want a full metal m16 when I get the money

[Cortexian]

Since the barrel length on an M16 won't really increase the accuracy of your AEG, it's generally better to get something like an M4 for the easier maneuverability and handling. If you really, REALLY like the looks of the M16 then that's about the only reason to get one imo. Or if you're trying to duplicate an existing military kit.

Oh, I can count on you guys for walking me through any internal tinkering I might do in the future, ja?

Looks is why I want it and the weight because of a full metal. Hehe

And Delta I don't know much about internal rather then changing small things so leave it to freelancer really.

It's not, actually. They are related. The position of the safety is related to the position of the tapet plate, which is also related to the position of the piston. When your spring is partially compressed like that, you get a trigger lockup. Why else do you think just flipping your safety to automatic fire works at all? It's not a mechanical issue with the safety, it's an electrical issue with your motor not getting enough juice to keep going. I daresay I do know what I'm talking about here.

So it makes sense how when I first go semi, I can fire a few shots before it does lock up? And I honestly feel like I get a better response from depressing the trigger all the way for each shot(though my tap firing is a lot slower!).
