Metal Body Problems

Jul 23, 2005 4:06am
Okay, this is probably a REALLY dumb question, but here goes anyways :lol:. I just got a guarder metal body installed on my TM SR-16, and it is awesome! But when I got home to shoot my new, very shiny toy, it didn't take more than 10 rounds before I heard this wierd puff sound, and no BBs came out. Then, when I pointed the gun down, the bbs just dropped out of the barrel. Is it jamming, or is something not aligned right with the metal body? Does anyone know what is happening, and how I can fix it? Thanks......

First off I am not the expert on this but it sounds to me like something with the piston or more specifically with the head.

here's something weird.... I was using POS BBs when it started happening (the black inertia bbs that come in a bigas$ jar) and it kept happening until I started using KSC BBs. Could it have been the bbs I was shooting, or did it just temporarily fix itself?

It could be the bb's you were using but if it was and they jammed I doubt your gun would be working again with just using different bb's.. Sometimes the jamming problem is because of your hopup bucking... But if it is working now then I have no idea why it was jamming..

one of my son's friends decided to buy a few jars of the black inertia bbs. they are not perfectly round or consistant in size. some of the bbs will jam up in the hop-up. get rid of them-use themup in you side arms.

I have heard they are hollow in the middle. I cut one in two and did find them to not be completly solid so I guess they can shadder easily. Dont know that was my one experience with them. We use and sell Excel bb's and have been satisfied with them. Tsanmi, Elites and Excels I try to encouraged being used on your expensive guns.

awesome..... thanks so much for your help guys, I really appreciate it. I'm gonna get rid of those things ASAP. lol. It's shooting fine now, but I'm not so sure it won't start up again. Thanks again.
