sounds like:

A bb got smashed on the way thru the gun, or got jammed and caused a backup.

The next likely event is that the piston slammed forward and hammered the nozzle into the mess inside the gun? Or came forward and fired, but there's shit jammed in the barrel/hop sleeve stopping a cycle from happening...

it sounds like whatever's going on might require a takedown to investigate.

Also 7.2 = bleh.

But anyways, that's not crucial.

Try: - using a cleaning rod and (relatively gently) pushing it back through the barrel with the magazine OUT to see if anything comes out through the mag well

Look into the magwell to see if you can see any damage/BB pieces/check the condition of the nozzle

check your battery connection -

check that all the wires (including the fuse) are all connected properly

press the spring de-tensioner (read the FAMAS manual to find it) and see if the piston will unwind for you... (get someone who knows how to explain it better to tell you about that)

If nothing gives you a clue about what's going on, get ready to take er to a shop or take apart.
