Hello,

I am very new to the AEG scene. All of my experience is primarily in the 4.5MM CO2 pistol area. However Ive always wanted to try an AEG, I came into some money and bought one. I dont really understand much about how they work and I found the instructions rather vague

It is a King Arms metal M4A1. It has whatever mag it came with (I believe they are the HiCaps as they have the wind up wheel thing which I dont fully understand). I tried it out for the first time, and it fired 50 or so shots in both semi and full auto without issue, then it just stopped. The motor still works fine, the gas tube(?) still cycles, and the barrel isn't plugged. Hop up was not adjusted at any point between it working and not working. I can hear a springy clunk when fired which i assume is the sound of it dry firing. when I pull out the mag several BBs fall out, if I remove it while the gun is upside down I can see BBs in the feeder tube(?). I have tried a different King arms mag with no affect. Every once in a while it will fire one lazy shot that lands about 8 feet from me and sometimes it will fire one that hits the target.

I am using Ultrasonic Sniper Black Cybergun .20 BBs that I bought from Walmart. Any suggestions on what I should try? I'm sure this has all been asked several times before, and I know how low Noob tolerance is here, so please bear with me, and thank you for the help
