Little Yoshi Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Tried using the search bar and only found a topic that was about 5 years old so thought I would start another. People that do airsoft I'm in need of your help. I have an M14 eletric which I think is made by Cyma. I'm getting back into it but finding my gun is jamming. It jams once or twice then fires for a few times but if you dont; fire it for a min or two, i.e. running to new cover it will jam up again. It sounds like the motor cog is hitting against something. Like its trying to turn but it can't. Any idea? Cheers if you can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Having no experience with airsoft guns, I'm going to suggest something generic. You seem to have reached a point where the gun is not much use to you as it is, which means if you take it apart, you could fix it, or if you can't, you needed a new one anyway .

You seem to have reached a point where the gun is not much use to you as it is, which means if you take it apart, you could fix it, or if you can't, you needed a new one anyway . A great philosophy to have and one which I've lived by for some time. The stack of Xboxes in my cupboard are an unfortunate reminder that it doesn't always work, but most of the time it's simpler than you think. For instance, in this case, you could find that some little stone has found its way in there and it's just a case of removing it and you're away. Or maybe a couple of teeth have sheared over time and you just need to replace the gear. Or, as Jeff said, you'll find that you needed to replace it anyway and save yourself the money of someone else telling you that themselves.

l33th3tr33 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Sorry to hijack but me and a few mates are thinking of getting an airsoft gun, what would you reccomend for a starter gun? Preferably electric and fully automatic. I've looked at a few sites and can't settle on anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l33th3tr33 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 maybe this? $3,500 is personally a bit steep for a beginner gun IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gun is now in bits in the shed. still no working though Sorry to hijack but me and a few mates are thinking of getting an airsoft gun, what would you reccomend for a starter gun? Preferably electric and fully automatic. I've looked at a few sites and can't settle on anything. Depends what type of fighting your planning on doing. I used to carry two guns with me. Had a G8 Well-Fire that I used when things got close and ether a M14 which is the one that fluffed or a Spring L96 sniper. Don't spend less than £100, and you'll need a license to buy one. You can get 2 tone ones that you dont need a license for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish-Finger-er Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 I know it aint airsoft, but thought this was the closest place to stick it (the old air rifle thread was alright till troyston came along) current ratting/rabbiting set up, fx royale 400 in .22, 3-9x50 scope on high mounts, extendable bipod. thinking of swapping it to an ags mini swat 3-12 soon(got ambitions of getting nv set up so i dont get serious eye relief issues.

Little Yoshi Posted January 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 What do you use it for? Have 2 old air rifles but dont know wat make they are. Will get some pics up and specs when i know though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish-Finger-er Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 What do you use it for? Have 2 old air rifles but dont know wat make they are. Will get some pics up and specs when i know though. rats mainly and a few rabbits, and hitting targets in the summer. but i aint goin outside to rattle off shots at repair washers hanging on a piece of string, till its shorts and t shirt weather. id use it for rabbits more, but the trouble is the land im allowed to shoot on isnt really vehicle friendly, which makes it a lot of footwork, and a lot of hard work, rats are nice and easy, down some farm outbuildings, just rock up in one of the outbuilding, or park me car in the yard, out the cold and the wind, and just sit and wait for a few minutes. really want to get night vision working on it properly, got a set up at the moment, which does for hitting rats at like 20 yards, but it extends the length of the scope too much. ive also got a bsa meteor springer.

Si-man Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Mates just got himself a brand new Air Arms TX200 and and old 80's Weirauch HW80. Both springers, not been out shooting yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Yoshi Posted January 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Was reading up that red light doesnt freak the rats out so you can use that if I remember right. How how much foot work are we talking here? You intrested in the bigger game? Like deer stalking? I used mine to get rabbits. Dont have much troble with rats. But planning on upgrading this year so I dont ahve to use the break barrol spring one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish-Finger-er Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Was reading up that red light doesnt freak the rats out so you can use that if I remember right. How how much foot work are we talking here? You intrested in the bigger game? Like deer stalking? I used mine to get rabbits. Dont have much troble with rats. But planning on upgrading this year so I dont ahve to use the break barrol spring one. rats are fairly intelligent, often more so than me, they wont take dog food stuck out in the middle of the yard for the first couple of nights, they grow used to lights, and cars, but luckily as i got a couple of places i can hide out, and i can block and unblock rat runs, and they ultimately have to eat, its easy to get them. likewise with rabbits, generally they can see any colour light, but they dont get spooked by a light colour that doesnt shoot them, so much like rats, swapping out colours every so often works, the other benefit of red light is that your eyes dont adjust to it like they do white light, you still retain your natural night vision without taking 5 minutes to readjust. ive got an interest in bigger game, but it seems expensive, and not quite as skillful. also, i like challenging myself with shooting, so often if im bored, ill stick a few 2ps in cracks in fence posts, go to 25 or so yards and try and hit as many in a row as i can, you cant really go sticking a bunch of bean cans at 100-150 yards and go firing at them, without thinking more about backstops etc, not to mention there not to keen to give a FAC to a 23 year old with a couple of arrests under his belt, who doesnt live on a farm. wouldnt mind getting something for foxing given the chance. other good thing about nightvision is that it lights up a rabbits eyes white as can be, cant miss eyes when there under ir. my set up is currently similar to this but as you can see in one of his other vids, the length of the scope/camera set up is just too long to be comfy unless you mount the scope way too far forward to use normally , EDIT: with regards to footwork, its not huge distances, but trudging 1/2 mile in the wet between spots, sitting on wet grass for 30 minutes only for there to be no rabbits, is a lot worse than rocking up to an infested small holding in sweatpants and trainers, walking on concrete, setting up somewhere out the elements, and popping a few rats.

One of my mates bedroom window looks out on to a feild swarming with rabits. Just open in the window witha cup of tea on the sill. Its great. The skill in bigger game is more in getting within range and to take it down with out pissing off the gillie but sticking the bullet in a good bit of meat. If your ever up my way, take your gun. Can take you to a few place, if your lucky the owner might be in and you could get a shot of his guns. Were re-doing his lodge at the moment. We have put new gun cabnets in the basement for him. There is enough space for 40 odd guns so you will have plenty of choice. BUt would like a go at rat hunting. Sounds fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish-Finger-er Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 You have a Royale and you're gonna put an AGS scope on it??? yea, call me daft, but i honestly fail to see the point in sticking anything better on your gun,ive used a lot of scopes, bushnell, mtc, simmons whitetail's etc, and sure a few of them have been better, but not like twice the price better. most of the areas they are better in, dont matter a feck(purple in the corners of the scope etc) and i looked through some £1500 4 x32 scope at a show last year, and i honestly though it was worse than some of the 4 x 32 scopes stuck on the £150 springer kits. at the end of the day, if my scope is in focus, and zero'd, a rabbits head is still a rabbits head no matter what im looking at it through. I use it for ratting too, which tends to mean the rifle takes a few more knocks and bangs than it perhaps should do, hence the reason i got a tactical stock. I also wouldnt of spent that much on a rifle, but i wanted a tactical stocked buddy bottle rifle, so didnt have much choice really, and after shooting it, realised it was a beautiful piece of kit.

Have you tried Hawke? they have a few in the range which are amazing quality for the price that they are. What I aim for with vermin scopes is a good field of view, and crisp lenses. Adjustable parallax and illumination is pointless to me. Edited January 7, 2011 by xDUNSTANx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjustable parallax and illumination is pointless to me. yea, the only reason i want parallax is that im going to stick a digital night vision monocular behind it, and it just makes setting everything up 300 times easier. current scope is a hawke actually, no complaints from it, crisp enough. what gun you got?? really tempted to get a bsa ultra for working from a vehicle/confined spaces and as a general cheap enough to not worry about it to much gun.

Did have a Verminator, was burgled fairly recently though, wasn't insured...pretty gutted. Thinking of getting another HW100 though, my last one was perfect, couldn't fault it. Ultras are good, but only hold 30 shots per fill unless you get them regulated which would push it maybe up to 50-60. The silencer that comes with it is just for show and literally does nothing, so go for a Weihrauch silencer, or if you wanna keep it really short then go for the Daystate sit back silencer.
