Pz III BB gun not firing very far
Hi Guys,
My Pz III from HL has suddenly decided not to shoot very far, in fact the bb just falls out of the end of the barrel.
If I strip it down what am I looking for and what do I need to do to fix it?
Thanks

There's a little rubber bushing inside the breech. Sometimes they get out of position, tear or fall out. It's also possible that the breech has split in half or cracked. Here's a picture of what you're looking for. Make sure you mark your wires before you pull the airsoft motor out too!

There's 101 things that can go wrong with the HL airsoft units but probably (as James said) the breach or seal. When HL screws in the gun mantlet to the airsoft unit (at least for the tiger tanks) the plastic breach can crack as the screws get screwed in too far. You may just to replace the entire unit/barrel combo. I am getting back into putting some together as I am picking up a number of spare units from Matotoys.
