starship_troopers Posted August 13, 2007 CID Share Posted August 13, 2007 first off, since this is a tech forum, mods/admins feel free to delete this if it is too off topic to keep here. ok, i bought a new airsoft gun. its a WELL M16-A4 rifle with laser and flashlight attachments. ok, well there is a switch on it for SAFE, SEMI, and AUTO. it all is fine on safe and semi. but when i switch it to auto it is still semi. i can't find the right info on google so this is why im asking here. can it really go full auto or is it just a switch that does nothing? either way it only cost me 15 bucks so im not too worried since its still cool on semi. but im curious to see if it can go auto or not. btw, its spring loaded not CO2,....they didnt have any c02 guns so i bought this cheap along with a pistol.

tommie gorman Posted August 13, 2007 CID Share Posted August 13, 2007 First off spring loaded instead woud be my guess why it won't switch. I would imagine it wouldn't have enough continuous power to go auto that way. I would think it would have to be CO2. Just my opinion of course.

starship_troopers Posted August 13, 2007 Author CID Share Posted August 13, 2007 yeah thats what i figured. im looking into getting an air one instead of spring. ...how good are the shotguns? seems kind of weird to have a shotgun that shoots plastic bb's.

dlewis23 Posted August 13, 2007 CID Share Posted August 13, 2007 starship the switch is broken. There is a small lever in there for the switch and the auto one is broken or missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starship_troopers Posted August 13, 2007 Author CID Share Posted August 13, 2007 starship the switch is broken. There is a small lever in there for the switch and the auto one is broken or missing. if the switch was broken, wouldn't it not shoot at all? if i switch it to auto, it still shoots, but on Semi. i think that usspecialarmycadets is right that spring loaders won't shoot auto...but of course, you probably know more about it than me since i just got it...

starship_troopers Posted August 13, 2007 Author CID Share Posted August 13, 2007 no battery. just a cheap gun. although, since i am looking for a new airsoft rifle, is there any suggestions for one? especially one that goes full auto. and lets keep it around or below 50 bucks. if possible.

usspecialarmycadets Posted August 13, 2007 CID Share Posted August 13, 2007 If u want full auto, u must get an AEG (automatic electric gun); otherwise, ur stuck at semi. Even if the switch says "FULL" - i had several spring MP5s with the FULL written on it, but they are just eye candy There are several dealers with good starter LPAEG (low powered AEG) at excellent prices. I got my stash of M4s and HK GP36s at dirt low prices. But stay away from spring and gas powered stuff; those are made for kids and newbies. If u want to get hardcore, get an AEG (or a LPAEG).

ripclawph Posted August 14, 2007 CID Share Posted August 14, 2007 i would suggest you to go for an ACM(All China Made) AEG's... many brands are out in the market now and the most promising now are the JingGong makers... almost the same replica as the Tokyo Marui for both looks and performance. They specialty are the AK47 series... enjoi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
