King Arms M4A1 semi-auto problem

[EskeDB]

Hey guys I've been having this issue with my gun, where in semi it doesn't shoot properly. It sounds and works perfectly fine when there is no mag in it, but when its loaded and I shoot the bbs will only come out 5ft and it doesnt make the pop it usually does. Sometimes it will only work every other shot, with every other bb just falling out of the barrel. Full auto works fine, but if I switch back to semi it still wont work as a lot of fixes suggest that's all you need to do.

I feel its worth noting I just got it last week, its all stock with a 9.6v nimh 1600 battery and it only started doing this after putting around 2000 bbs through it.

If anyone has advice it would be much appreciated

Broken anti reversal latch spring. Most common KA issue in their China made batches.

Ok I'm definitely going to look into that thanks Would I have to get replacement parts for that? I actually live close to you, got it off of Toronto airsoft. I emailed them first a couple days ago but they haven't got back to me lol.

I live in Richmond Hill, but I am currently in Waterloo for school. I do however travel back and forth every few weeks. How long ago did you get it? If it is within two weeks, it will be covered under warranty. If it has been more than two weeks, talk to them anyway and see if they can help you out one way or another.

Yes I got it less than two weeks ago. I had only emailed them before, I'll file a warranty claim now. This is so annoying, I had just got the thing! Haha what can you do.
