Hi Somerset,

I take it the main gun firing has also stopped working when you fire?

If so when you open up the turret and find the airsoft unit you'll see two wires connected to the back which looks like short metal strips. When you fire these touch and sends signal to the RX18 which activates the recoil and sound. So check the contact is still closing and all the wiring back to the RX18.

Hope that helps sort it out.

Ian.
