Is your AEG refusing to shoot in the middle of a game? Don’t let it ruin your day! In this post, the Airsoft Extreme tech team shares four quick and easy troubleshooting steps to get your airsoft gun back up and running — from checking your battery to fixing wiring issues. Save time, skip the frustration, and get back to doing what you love: playing airsoft.
Hello friends and patrons!
Today we'll be discussing some simple troubleshooting tips for your airsoft Automatic Electric Gun (AEG).
We’re sure you’ve been out in the field and all of a sudden something happens that ruins your day. In this post, we’ll cover a few quick fixes you can do yourself to get back out and playing with minimal downtime.
Scenario:
You’re out there kicking butts and taking names, and suddenly your AEG stops dead. Don’t panic — here are a few quick things to check that might get you back in the game fast.
- Swap out batteries.
Yes, sometimes it’s that simple. Batteries don’t give you infinite trigger pulls, so if your AEG suddenly stops, try a fully charged battery first.
- Check if you popped your fuse.
Sometimes trying to cycle an AEG when the battery doesn’t have enough voltage can blow the fuse. Or, if you’ve been running your gun hard and the motor gets hot, that heat can cause the fuse to pop as well.
- Check your motor tabs.
Believe it or not, these motor tabs can slip off the motor posts during use. To help prevent this, you can use a pair of pliers to lightly crimp the tabs for a tighter fit onto the posts.
- For G&G users:
Be careful when disconnecting your battery! Always unplug by grasping the connectors firmly — not by yanking the wires. Pulling too hard might unplug the entire wiring harness from inside the buffer tube. If that happens, you’ll need a long Phillips screwdriver to remove the buffer tube and reconnect the harness properly.
We hope these quick tips help minimize your downtime and keep you out on the field having fun. If these fixes don’t get your AEG back up and running, there might be deeper issues that require technical support.
