So I recently got a WE g36 and have gamed it twice now.

Towards the end of the second game it started having some problems... First what happened is it would once in a while fire several shots per one trigger pull while in semi. The first couple times it happened I thought I just bumped the selector, so I put it to safe, back to semi, and then it shot fine. I guess my question here is, if there was a problem that was causing it to shoot full auto in semi, would it be intermittent, or once it's there, it's there? What's the likely culprit?

The other problem I'm having is it seems like the bolt carrier is bouncing a bit when it comes forward. If you take a shot and watch the charging handle, you can see it go back, come forward, then when it hits home it bounces back a bit (maybe 3/8") and then it settles down.

I have no idea how to fix this but I think it may occasionally be bouncing far back enough to double feed, because I've noticed it doing that a couple of times. Someone said a stronger recoil spring should do it, as well as replacing that bumper that the bolt hits when it comes back. He said you can get harder ones, but I have no idea where..?

Has anyone else encountered that on.. well, any WE GBBR? Is a stronger recoil spring a good idea, and if so, where can I get one of those? Most of the retailers I deal with don't carry a lot in the way of WE GBBR parts...

Thanks in advance.
