it sounds to me like you have got it in setup mode. this is where you change the setting of the gun. the little red box inside the trigger with the 2 switches on, it sounds like you have moved one of those to change the settings. look in the mannual and read up on how you change the settings. you need to make sure those 2 switches are in the correct position when you place the grip back on so that when you turn in on you can fire and not keep changeing settings. if in doubt there is a way that you can change to gun setting back to factory settings which is semi auto, 15 bps, and all the dwell and trigar sensitivity and stuff like that,(look in the mannual) i dont know off the top of my head. nath
