Firing problem

[joyriddr]

Alright, i am wondering if someone could tell me what is wrong with my gun. when i fire my gun it just clicks and doesnt fire because the solenoid or whatever it is called doesnt come down far enough and there for doesnt allow the bolt to fire. Does anyone know why this is, or how to solve the problem.

Are you using a 9v or a 9.6v?

[joyriddr]

i think its a 9v but i am not too sure. But the gun will fire sometimes if i dont shoot rapidly, and then other times it wont work at all. The solenoid doesnt push up all the way to allow the bolt to shoot forward.

Red's right on the money, it sounds like a battery with not enough charge if it's a 9.6 volt. Let your battery charge and you should be good to go.

thanks red and griff, i will charge it up and see if it works.

Check it first, make sure it's not a 9v. Charging a 9v would be a very, very, very bad thing.

well the guns working just fine now. Charged the 9.6 battery. I wassnt aware that a 9v wouldnt work.
