so at the end of the game today, I did as I always do... dump mags down range. I had 3 mags left when my g36 started smoking at the front. Panicked I thought the worst case was happening... lipo fire.
Got my handguard off to see that the lipo was not imminently about to bust into flames.
However, I saw this:
I'm not sure if the solder to the solid copper wire going into the terminal broke or if it melted and detached from the arc. the whole terminal almost melted itself out of the terminal enclosure. It melted the solder on the board and started pulling out of the pc board.
But that's some serious melt going on. lol.
guess I'll have to send it in for service now.
