Question

i have the a&k m249 para saw, the battery is fully charged and plugged in correctly the box mag is on and opperating, when i fire it it makes the sound like its firing but no bb's come out

Answer 1

I've seen this happen once or twice.  Take the barrel out (follow directions for feild strip).  clean out the area around the hop chamber and properly re-insert (make sure the littl metal tab lines up with the groove).  Make sure there aren't any stray BBs in the area where the hop up chamber/Barrel assembly fits into the reciever (common problem).  Relube with Airsoft Silicone spray and you should be ready to go.  If that didn't work, try an M4 magazine to rule out the possibility that the BB box magazine is not defective.

Great gun by the way....it's not a @#$#@ Toy. Mine has fired over 40,000 rounds and it's still going strong.  Although I will say that BBS box eats AA Batteries.

Answer 2

Because it is a piece of junk TOY!
