Semi does full auto? Why?

Kingpin665 · August 20th, 2006, 15:09

Hi guys, I just picked up my first AEG less then a month ago, its a TM M4A1 (new type) and works pretty well as far as I'm concerned exept for one thing. Say maybe 10-20% of the time (tops) when I'm on semi and pull the trigger it doesn't limit to one shot, its the exact same as full auto. Now it generally works fine if I click to full and then back to semi, then it'll shoot the one shot as its suppose to. My question was is that normal or anything i can do to prevent it or fix that issue? Obviously its not a big deal... but I don't think I should have the problem at all.

Thanks in advance.

its fairly normal, can do it on any of my aegs if i want to on purpose, just pull the trigger quickly all the way back, that should prevent it in semi.

I have never seen that before. Is it a TM specific issue?

No it's an AEG specific issue. All AEG's will do it at some point. If you haven't seen it, then you haven't used an AEG much.

Alright thanks guys. It really didn't bother me that much, but I figured I should post about it now before I found out the hard way that perhaps it was the begining of a bigger problem to come.

Did you read the trouble shooting section of the manual?

Problem: imposible semi-auto firing
Cause: Deviation in gear timing
solution: set to semi after firing 5 - 10 rounds in full auto.

Cause: Insufficient battery power
Solution: Charge battery

Cause: Poor electrical connection.
Solution: Return to manufacturer for maintenance. (Canadian solution: Itsa problem with the selector switch, get and instal new one.)
