Hello,

I'm quite a bit of a noob and as I was test firing some new mags through my G&G M4 Commando, I realized it was very loud. I understand that all AEGs are by nature noisy things but I don't have much of a reference point for how loud they should feasibly be. Video audio doesn't really do much justice in terms of the real noise of these guns, so I don't really find that's a good reference to base my knowledge off of.

The gun itself isn't really screechy or whiny, it's just very loud. I can easily hear the "pop" of air between each shot (I was firing mostly on semi but this was present on full auto as well) which is quite loud, as well of the slight whine the gun makes at the beginning of each shot.

Are G&Gs known for this? Is something possibly wrong with my gun? How loud are most stock AEGs? Like I said, I don't really have much of a reference for how loud my gun should be, so I'm in the dark here.

Thanks,

PS:

Sub Question; My trigger keeps locking in semi-auto fire, and looking through the clear polymer I can see that this little metal switch that moves with the selector doesn't fully move from safe to semi sometimes, which seems to be the problem. Is this it and if so, how do I fix it?
