Gameface gf15a4 will not hit target from 10 feet away and now it wont even shoot.
 

I bought the gun yesterday and i charged the battery for over 5 hours and when i tried shooting it the bbs would just go all over the place not even near where my sights where on i went 5 feet away from the target and it would just go down and to the left eventually it would just keep misfiring and no bbs would come out and when i put it on fully auto the fuse started glowing orange and the grip of the gun was almost burning hot. Wtf is this bullshit did i just waste my money? I seen so many good reviews for this gun... I hit the target 2 times out of 30 shots and all the shots were lined up perfectly. Now the gun wont even shoot semi or auto i pull the trigger and nothing happens... :banghead:

-you need to check if the barrel is jammed.
-for that a rod is necessary.
-you need to clean the barrel.it might be laced with bb plastic or other unnamable stuff.Clean it well.Clean it again.
-you need to fully release/unwind the hop up system to make sure bbs go completely through.
-check with a rag on your cleaning rod if there is oil in the hop up system
-try the gun again

if it is jammed, switch from single to full to safe again and again.

Utter Crap. Start re-saving.

CA sportline/Game-face thread on this forum indicating it's general state of horridness, to an underage user looking for one.

Read the noob threads ! When you get a new gun you should keep it on semi for awhile to work it in abit ! What type of BB,s where you using ?

I had it on semi the majority of the time i had it, it refused to shoot accurately, im using crosman 0.12g bbs

There's your answer ! Cheap bbs with a seam on them , never fire cheap bb,s in your gun !Double polished Bb,s only

Would be surprised If they are crushed in behind your piston ! They also slice your hop - up!

Never use 12 gr. bbs either !

Hello endability,

Unfortunately the Gameface GF15A4 is pretty much a piece of junk. I know that's disappointing to hear, but there's no other way to put it.

Since you just bought it yesterday -- presumably from a retail chain or sporting goods store -- I would suggest you get a refund for it. While the cheap, lightweight BBs were no doubt the culprits for the bad accuracy, the subsequent issues with the gun would have likely happened no matter what.

So get a refund, read up on the forums on what to get, and start fresh with a better quality gun.

I wish that was an option but unfortunately i bought the gun off kijiji. I read alot online and most people are saying that its a blown fuse so i looked at my fuse and its brownish black at the end. Im pretty sure this is my problem because right before it stopped shooting my fuse started glowing red and got really hot. Good thing there only $2 at home depot. ill check back after i buy the fuse and higher quality 0.20g bbs.

It grew hot, because the gun was/is jammed solid, internally.

You are pressing the trigger, telling the motor to spin. The motor can't spin, and it and the trigger-sled grows hot/overheated and the wiring starts letting the smoke out. It will also have over-stressed the battery. If you are lucky, the fuse did it's work in time, to allow you to take things apart further with some chance of getting it working again, and see where it is jamming at. If it's the mechbox.. congrats, you've now got your first gundoc adventure awaiting.

Hate to be a bummer here, but it's sounding like a bit more than a $2.00 fixit.

The damage might already be done ! It may take more than a new fuze now !

Yeah it's bad to think a blown fuse IS the problem; fuses burns *because* of a problem, they are the symptom, not the inherent problem of the gun

Only changing the fuse and trying the gun again will just result in more damage and a second burnt fuse

This is the solution

That would make sense, if that's the case do you know how exactly I would take my gun apart and un-jam it?

Unfortunately, as pusangani's image shows, that might be the only economical option.

It might be repairable, depending on what jammed, and what broke and where.

There is no telling the presence or absence of mechanical mayhem awaiting, within and without of the gear box shell, without making it go explody in a controlled fashion with screw-driver in hand. Similarly so, just in disassembling the gun to get to the gearbox itself, without breaking something else along the way...

It's a five minute diagnosis sitting on the desk in front of me. It's only infinite variables of random grief with a cheap throw-away gun, from any further away than that.. sorry.

I followed your instructions and i used the rod to check if the barrel had anything in it but it seems to be empty.

then you need to open the gun

Haha, turns out the fix was very, very simple. I just took the motor out and shined a flashlight in the gearbox and noticed a gear was misaligned so I got a fork and pried back in it and it works perfectly now :) real good thing I didn't listen to those people telling me to throw it in the trash..

I'd still take their advice and throw it in the garbage.

This is a lesson here for all ASC Gun Doctors ah ah ah
:D:p:rolleyes:

The fix makes no sense though.
How badly would something have to be assembled such that it can become mis-aligned and then able to be "pried back in it" with a fork?

What's preventing the issue from re-occurring?

Oh god.

I don't understand.... How do you clear a gear jam with a fork? This is some next level shit.

plastic everything is plastic.

I will fork-give you if you fork-get.

endability's mother: [endability's mom walks in on him, in full costume, rummaging through her silverware drawer] Jeffrey, what are you doing?

endability: I'm a gun doctor, mother.
endability's mother: A gun doctor?
endability: An effete British gun doctor, to be precise. I am pilfering your tableware because I fix guns with i it. I fix them so they can hurl BBs with a deadly accuracy at targets up to ten feet away. Endability is my name. And yes, I know I don't wear much blue and I speak in a British accent, but if you know your history it really does make perfect sense.

put a fork in it , it's done

Will there be fork stations at NF3? Cause if my gun goes down i need to be able to fix it.

I always take my multitool in the field with me for on site repairs

How do you even fit a fork in the motor slot

First you hit it with a hammer then use the fork to pick up the pieces !

It is a very common problem and it has nothing to do with the assembly, the cheap bbs were preventing the gears from turning at a normal rate causing stress on the battery and gearbox. Goldenball proslick seamless bbs will prevent this from reoccurring

Maybe if you drop it hard it might bump it back to life.....

Lobster fork? Not really sure; I'm not a gun doc.

Here's a video tutorial for those people who don't understand the fix. youtube.com/watch?v=p7mjWGRBszc

here's one that deals with your specific gun model

Lol I thought people stopped doing that years ago...

I thought the same thing about buying clearsoft lol

That's not a fix, that means it wasn't broken to begin with

Still though, how the fuck do you do that with a fork, I usually have to use pliers.

Mystery Men for the win!

I just used a plastic fork because it was all i could find at the time and broke off all the teeth but one and stuck the tooth in between the gear and pried back its as simple as that... and yes it was a fix, i "fixed" my locked gearbox...

lol it's called a tight budget... I see that you gave crappy advice, but that's no reason to go around trolling like a child. Grow up and go back to elementary school thats the only place where kids still rick roll... lol

Here we go !

I'll be less of a dick here and try and explain what's going on here..

basically you bought a rubber dingy and are trying to sail across an ocean filled with carbon fiber speedboats... and you just said you fixed your boat with bubble gum.

You'll find little sympathy or empathy with issues and triumphs with your chosen chariot, because everyone else in this ocean can afford their nice speed boats.

You sound like you're 15, so here's some advice, get out of the water unless you want to get run over or run out by those who don't play nicely with baby boats. This place does not accommodate those who can't afford to buy into the same level of gear.

If you show up with your gun to a serious game played by those here, you'll be laughed at. If you go beyond that and actually try and play, you'll be shot from 2-3x farther than what your gun could even dream of shooting. There are only broken dreams and tears that everyone else around here will find delicious.

Your only redemption is just to back away for now until you can come back with a bigger boat.


Of course, if you like being a source of entertainment in an otherwise quiet week.

Well said.

So, if you are really 18. Get AV'd and we will show you the world of good stuff!

I won't laugh at you because <18 eventually you will be >18 in time.

What you just typed is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this forum is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.


It sounds more like you pulled the anti-reversal latch, not fixed a "misaligned gear".

Here is a link to check out;

Once you understand what exactly you did you'll be able to use the proper terminology and people won't think you're just talking crap.... Bully for you though on making do with a plastic fork, don't think I would have thought of that one.

nah it's called being a noob and not doing your research before buying

Having a tight budget is a bad justification for getting a crap gun, there are many guns that are in the same price range as a game face, you are not looking hard enough

Wow judging people upon what airsoft gun they have? very shallow i must say. has god given you the ability to see my age through a computer screen? thats a pretty bold assumption saying im 15 and its totally untrue. who said i cant afford better gear? i just didn't want to go all out just yet and i already brought the gun to a game nobody laughed or even cared people are just there to have fun. the gun shoots just under the fps limit. im not denying that its a piece of shit, i know it is, but it is certainly usable. i thought i could have a formal conversation with other people with knowledge on the subject, apparently thats not the case with some people so im done with this thread, goodbye.

Was this guy at the game you went to?

http://media.canada.com/130a8bfe-903...ature-J_13.jpg

Before i leave i would just like to say that the game i went to is 17 and older.

People are laughing less about your gun and more about the way you presented yourself and your problems.

OH! 17 and older! OP must be 17.

you guys don't get it.He made a vow of cheapness.

:)

HEY, keep it in church man.

I'll actually be helpful here. He may be young, but he just doesn't understand what he's doing guys.
Maybe make more effort to help him comprehend his situation instead of just flaming off the handle.

The BB's cannot impede the function of the gearbox, they simply get popped into place in the hop chamber, then a burst of air from the mechbox shoots them out.
Where the .12s become a problem is they get jammed down the barrel, slowing down the forward movement of the piston. But that will not slow down the gears.
At worst, the gears will engage the piston too early and strip teeth off.

Furthermore, if a gear was in fact "misaligned" most likely the shaft on it is broken. If the mechbox is metal, it's not physically possible for a gear to simply pop out of place, it would have had to move sideways over 3mm in order to come out of the bushing.

Don't go, ASC has been boring of late, you're providing some well needed jollies to the rest of us :D

Real airsoft games have FPS limits USING a .20 gram BB. A typical gameface shots 325 FPS with a .12 BB which translates to about 252 FPS with a 20 gram BB. I don't know of any games where that would be just under the limit.

It was probably an illegal game in the woods or an abandoned building high school brats being dumbasses.

nuff

look out guys, they shoot 100 feet now.

I'd be more scared of the fork

so I was easily correct about the 2-3x the range portion. What of my other assumptions and judgments, I wonder?

I'm going to throw away all my guns and go buy this totally awesome gun now, and if it breaks I have a titanium spork to repair it with, thanks for showing us the light!

I was going to redeem the guy and say it could make an excellent sleeper ...

But 239.99$ at CT? Hell no.

king arms m4 territory right there... jebus.

actually 10 guns probably off the top of my head that price or cheaper.


but judging by his 'self righteous, own the world' teenager attitude, CT and 240$ is about what mommy/daddy budget allowed for.

Wait till he's back on here begging for help after he trips on his own feet and busts the gun into 100 pieces, needs it back together before mommy catches him and takes away his allowance and grounds him from the play ground wars.
