V3 firing issues.

Just in case I didn't mention this before, the gun now does not shoot any BBs at all (where as before it occasionally shot some). This happened before the oil so at least I didn't hurt it.

If there is anyone in the Barrie area that knows their way around AEGs fairly well (specifically the G36 series) that wouldn't mind meeting up with me and checking it out sometime this week, I'd greatly appreciate a PM.

sound to me like a nozzle tappet plate problem, is the nozzle moving at all?

Yes, it appears to.

It doesn't seem to be loading any BB's though.

A thought came to my head today, so I decided to try shooting the gun while holding it upside down. I put the mag in, and on semi, it fired every time (except the first shot), so I put it on auto and it fired a shot about 1/2 - 2/3 of the time, depending on how long I held the trigger. This makes me think that it is the magazine that is the problem, and not the gun. I'm using the standard Classic Army high cap magazine that comes with the gun, and a 9.6v Intellect battery.

Any ideas?

Hey thanks for the offer, except yesterday I decided to take the mag apart to see if I could spot any problems; I didn't find anything (not that I would know what to look for) but when I put it back together it worked fine for some weird reason.

Anyways, it seems that the problem has somehow fixed itself as my gun is now feeding and shooting bb's constantly.

Thanks for all your help guys. Much appreciated.
