Sloppy Trigger???

[choda_boy]

Hey guys, I recently bought an ICS M4, and in semi auto the trigger seems sloppy, like if you dont make a full squeeze on the trigger it doesnt seem to make a full cycle, is this common in ICS or do I have a faulty gun, I know I could just make sure that I make a full squeeze, or are trigger mods out there for the gun to make it more hair like??

This is common on all guns, if you really hate it, get a battery with a higher voltage. Or a high speed motor/gears.

thanks Kid, thats kinda the answer I wanted to hear, now I know my gun isnt a lemon

The reasoning behind this is because when you pull the trigger, it activates a switch that provides power to your motor. The motor needs power for long enough to pull back the spring and that takes time (although less than a second).

You are noticing this on semi only because when in semi, the spring is in it's uncompressed state, and needs to be compressed before firing. In automatic, after a shot is made, it automatically compresses the spring and in that state, the AEG requires very little power (very little means amount of time that power is given to the motor) to fire the next shot.

I hope that makes sense, and I hope it's correct. That's just my understanding from basic knowledge of my AEG. I was thinking the same thing, but realized that it wasn't just my AEG. What Kid said is correct. A higher battery voltage will speed up the motor, which will increase the speed at which the spring compresses. Same with the motor and/or gears.

If you're expecting to go into action very soon and want a crisp first shot, you can 'cook' your spring, though it will probably lead to a loss power in the long term. You can do this by carefully and lightly pulling the trigger back until you can actually feel the spring is at a point just before firing.
