I've been plinking in my basement for the last few weeks with my MP5. I've had no problems so far until today.

When I loaded my Hicap into the AEG a large amount of BB's spewed though the nozzle and into the gun - so much so that the Hicap spring wound down.

Pulling the trigger resulted in a shotgun type spray of BB's - around 10 or so. Thinking it might be the release mechanism on the mag I tried a lowcap with the same results. Basically the gun lets in as many BB's as possible.

I turned the gun upside down to take a look into the mag loading chamber. When I pull the trigger the nozzle does not seem to cover the BB opening when it's at the rest position.

Anyone have any idea why this is happending? The gun is stock and has never been cracked open.

Could the gears be out of sync somehow or is there some sort of a tappet plate return spring that may have broken?
