I just bought this on ebay second hand, it fired a couple of times, but most times it just makes a noise. Here's a vid of the problem.

LOB,
It seems like the gun is trying to fire. Two things I noted, an overlong, get the firing arm in position, then a weak snap when it was supposed to fire. It might be two things, an oblong or jammed bb in the spout coupled with an out of place or split rubber gasket where the barrel meets the gun mechanism. The plastic shot that comes with these tanks is universally reviled for being craptastic and almost seems designed to ruin your airsoft gun. Go get yourself a nice bottle of quality shot for when you get this resolved. You may have to take the turret off and pull the gun to fix this tho'
regards,
Painless

I had the same problem with my first Taigen Tiger. The seal in the barrel was rubbish and the BB just plopped out of the end of the barrel. Do yourself a favour and spend less than a tenner on a new BB unit and then as above use quality BBs. The unit is easy to fit.
