So, I've recently purchased a Classic Army Steyr Aug, and it's a bit different from what I'm used to for AEG. As in, lots :banghead:

I'm currently encountering a problem that I'm fairly familiar with, but in past, standard style rifles(a scar-l, an m16) the solution was fairly simple.

Pulling the trigger yeilds no results. Nothing. The battery is fully charged and plugged in, the terminals(that I can see) are fully connected(even soldered on, which is a pleasant surprise), but pulling the trigger(which still makes the same pleasing sound it used to) fails to cause the motor to even turn. This happened while I was firing it single shot(no mode selector on this one, just pull the trigger halfway for single) and it hasn't fired again since. In past weapons, this was caused by the trigger mechanism slipping(this might still be the case, but the weapon breaks down so weirdly I couldn't even tell) or simply the motor getting stuck 'half', which a quick run on full auto would force back into gear.

Having broken the thing down a BIT, I'm finding that the trigger mechanism is pushing the whole motor assembly back when I pull the trigger, if I don't have the backplate on. The motor and everything is housed in the shoulder stock, which doesn't really come apart(it does, but it's plastic so it's sort of fused closed after the screws, and I don't want to crack it apart). If I have the backplate on, the trigger doesn't even pull, which I suspect is caused by SOMETHING of the trigger mechanism having slipped or come loose or something, but I don't know enough about this to make even the most uneducated guess, and given that it's a fairly new gun, I want to avoid doing anything I can't undo, in-case I end up bringing it back.
