type of gun ie; brand, model... and upgrades? sounds like the spring is compressed and the motor doesn't have the nuts to pull it the rest of the way back (likely but not for sure)

Are you sure your battery is charged?

Remove the "Motor Plate" on the bottom of the pistol grip. There will be a small "Metal Disk" sitting on the end of the Motor, dont let it fall into the Grip. Now... make sure both the positive and negative wires are connected to the motor. They both press on to endbell "blades" sticking up. If one of the wires were loose, just make sure that it is pressed on firmly and reinstall the Motor Plate with that little "Disk". Try firing the M4 again, if it still does not work, then I would say it could be your switch assembly if you say that your battery is in good working order.

Thats because you are holding down the trigger. Something is broken IN your gearbox.
