Last Sunday Skirmish

As usually, last Sunday I and my friends from airsoft club got together in the field. This new field actually has just utilized by our airsoft club currently. Located in plantation, so there were so many trees, make more realistic and challenge like in the forest. But this plantation has been swept from any snakes or another animals, so dont worry...it make us more secure and safety to play airsoft. In this field have been built some protecting shields, bunkers, and towers as defence point or attack point. It also has supported by toilet facility and small canteen, so ehmm.....it very nice to play here... the environment and the atmosphere like in the jungle, but the facility also complete.
About 2 pm, after many of airsoft members have came together in the field and chatted for a while, so we have been ready to play airsoft. But..huff..just few members came to field..only 10 people.. maybe because the rain was falling from the morning..so made some members felt reluctant to come. But it didn't matter, we still could play airsoft together..so the members divided into 2 teams to play skirmish.Team 1 came to area firstly to gave them some moments to prepare points of strategy, then team 2 came to area. I played in 2nd team. 1, 2,3...go..go..go...all teams got ready into action..then line of fire started from each AEG. I got in middle position to support 2 friends of my team in front of me who started to attack by entering opponent's zone. About 5 to 10 minutes my AEG still worked well, but then..oh no...something problem was happened. There were just 1 or 2 BB came out from my AEG each I pulled the trigger, even I have adjusted to automatic shoot. Sometimes the BB can be shooted in long distance, but sometimes it just fell 1 meter in front of me. Hemm... my AEG became impotant. I have tried to adjust anything, but still no progress. Then I shouted "HIT"...to inform the others that I went out from battle zone, because I thought nothing to do with my AEG.
I have really miss play airsoft, because I haven't played for some weeks. But then my AEG got a problem. I should to disassembly the gearbox of my AEG to check the problem.
