HomeAlright guys, heres what happened I have a new M4 with maybe 3000 bbs through it and was outside adjusting the hop up and sighting in scope when all of a sudden the gun "ran away". It fired full auto in semi auto mode. I switched the gun to safe and it was still "running away full auto" and the motor stated to slow way down and stopped. I attempted to pull the 7.4 lipo out. I felt that the trigger contacts just went on the thing and it may be shorting out. I of course wrestled with my delta ring for a good 60 seconds and finally got the front cover off and the batter was hot and puffy. I pulled it off the connector as fast as possible. and checked the voltage it showed 3.40 (cooked lipo for a 2 cell. it was 7.60 when I started. The trigger feels like its not hooked to anything anymore and when I plug the battery in again for just a second it sounds like a clunk sound from the gun. WOW I have some bad luck on stuff sometimes. anyone got any ideas. does G&G have a warranty?!?!?

IF YOUR BATTERY IS PUFFING UP AND IT"S A LIPO DO NOT USE IT! TAKE IT OUTSIDE BY THE WIRE AND SET IT SOMEWHERE SAFE! IT"S ON THE VERGE OF EXPLODING AND THAT STUFF WILL EAT THROUGH YOUR SKIN LIKE WATER AND TISSUE PAPER!

Ok Guys, All joking aside I found that my trigger is messed up it is not engaging the contacts unless you pull it and let go so it springs forward. Then its making a crunching sound. OHHHH my luck I guess its time for upgrade.

Yeah the voltage is 4.56 volts at room temp. I think one cell is toasted. I be able to tell when my Imax B6 comes in.

My Dad had a friend in the navy that had a flshlight with a LIPO (not sure why) and it puffed up because of improper care and exploded. ate clean through the flashlight luckily he wasn't holding it. just my two cents.
