WE TECH Hicapa 4.3 Elite Not firing BB's

I recently got my first gas powered pistol, I am not familiar with this kind of stuff so it would really be appreciated if you could help me. During a game I noticed that my pistol was not firing bb's. It would blow back but nothing would come out. I was using it in the winter if that may have done something to it. The gun runs on green gas. Please help

Here is a link to the gun: http://torontoairsoft.3dcartstores.c...om_p_2549.html

Try dialing back your hopup. Might be that the bucking has swollen from excessive lube.

Could it be the cooldown effect?...

I had a similar problem where it was working fine, then it just stopped firing anything out...and it turns out that my problem was the cooldown effect.

I don't know if you know, but the cooldown effect is where the continued usage of the cold gas propellant causes the gun to be too cold to fire properly.

I tested it out indoors where it was much warmer and it was working fine, i think the snow helped contribute to the cooldown effect. Thanks for the help!

Its the Cool Down effect.
The more you shoot, the faster the gas escapes,
The colder your gas is, the more it escapes, and faster.

Gas guns don't really like the cold. esp WE.
If you absolutely HAVE to use try out the CO2 mags for it becuase it offers a lil better performance in the cold. but dont expect it to fix all your problems :P
