Ok I have a problem with my gun - The otherday I was playing airsoft with some friends and we just started a new game and one of my friends little brothers friends wanted to use my gun. I said ok - But if it jams come see me and I will un-jam it. Of course he doesnt do that - The gun jammed and he asked one of his friends what should he do his friends ses "just keep pulling the trigger and it will come out" being as dumb as he is - he does just that and now the gun makes a continual reving sound and it does it even when it is on semi-automatic. I assumed the gearbox was stripped but I am not sure do any of you know?

First, this should be in Tech Questions, don't you think?
And secondly, sounds to me like a gear is stripped, though whether that's the motor pinion gear or one of the gears in the mechbox can't be known until you (Or someone else) disassembles it.

Oh he does but I called him up last night and I told him what had to be done and how much he owed me. First he tried "I dont have any money to give you" I of course know he is lying his ass off becuase he sold his Tippmann 98 Custom no more then 3 days ago. Then he ses "Well my parents have it" I said "Well go ask em for it I need the money" Then he hangs up on me. 5 minutes later his big burley dad calls "Is this Justin?" I responded "Yes" and he ses "you call here asken my son for money" I said "Yes he stripped the gearbox in my MP5 Airsoft gun, he should be held responsible for it" the dad replies "You must have done something to it prior to make it not work" "I try to start telling him the story of how it happened" "But of course as gh3y as the dad is he ses "Dont call here again" and hangs up the phone so now its come down to the money comming out of my SR-16 fund because of some gh3y-ass 12 year old.. That is unless there it isnt the gearbox in which everyone I talked to ses it is

why you even let a 12 year old see your airsoft gun is beyond me... but this just shows how much of a problem kids around that age are. what would have happened if he had smashed your rifle? no accountability since he's under 12. you could have pressed charges against his parents, but since you're a minor yourself, your parents would have to press charges for you. then comes a legal battle that will cost more than the gun in the first place. fun, ehh?

the way i look at is is this...if it was an honest mistake, that can be excused...but ignorance isn't any excuse.

We told the kid what to do - But he didnt listen so It was ignorence and his dad is a prick so its kinda hard to get him to pay for the gun I have nothing else to say so I guess im stuck with it ;D

I agree with Jacko, sounds like a stripped gear or piston, or perhaps your motor dropped out of alignment and needs to be tightened back up.

ditto on the gear, most likely the large diameter one that is on the bottom of the stack and consequently is also the thinnest.
Replaced 3 this week from jammed guns being fired and chipping off 3 teeth on that gear.
that or your piston sheared a tooth. (not as likely as above)

The though had in fact crossed mind ;D But, the kid is attending an up-comming LAN local here that will consist of over 100 people. And I have many plans with his pc (to any of you who know how to use Visual Basic, you know what im talking about ;D) God I love computer Pranks
