So, I just took out my CYMA ak to test fire it so that I could make sure it was still working. I plugged in the battery which I had charged the day before I shot it, so It should have still had power. I got through half a mag before it just stopped shooting, not with the sound that you get when the power is dying, It just stopped. Any ideas at all?

Don't litter, or God will rip your face off and feed it to a goat.

Did you take out the battery and put it back in?

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Battery powered airsoft guns?

You kids and your newfangled technology...

Do you have a spare battery? If not charge up your battery again. It might've just been dead.

Alt account #4 because i can!

sounds like a locked up motor. i have a ton of cyma guns but not an AK. sometimes motors get locked up and you need to take em out and clean em and such. its cool to see a fellow airsofter in the flood :)

Yeah, most of the other threads I see get ridiculed. Also, I have no clue how to take apart my gun anyways, nor do I want to for fear of breaking it.

Does it do anything at all, or does it sound like it starts to turn, but then stops?

Nothing, no noise, nothing.

When this happened to me, my battery was just dead. But it did exactly what your gun did.

If the motor was locked up, it would at least try to turn.

First thing to try is a different battery. Next, I would check the contacts on the motor.

The AKs motor isn't hard to get to, you just unscrew the screw on the bottom of the pistol grip and it should slide off. Make sure the two wires are connected to the motor.

After that it could be any number of problems.
