Title: Topgun2 trigger breaks after 6 months. Help Needed
Post by: swamprat96 on October 07, 2009, 06:15:56 am

I will pull the gun apart in the next couple of days and see if it is repairable but the trigger stopped working in the middle of a heated session of BBH- 3 players. OK the gun has had some work - BUT- its in a home use situation. Not good enough. I had read these guns can't take regular use on this forum and it looks like that advice was correct. I was using the gun at the time and got a distinctive click like a spring breaking. The return on the trigger stiil works but it does not register.

Anyone else fixed one yet?

One of the bad thing of LCDTopGun is that they don't use microswith for the trigger. Insteas, it has a conventional gamepad switch.

So you could open the gun and change this button. This is what I did for one of my LCDTopGun...

Thanks Cananas. Are the guns easy to open? And when you say a conventional game pad switch- got a link to a picture

I'm having trouble getting this thing apart. I've removed all the screws I can find and the handle grips plus the sliding breech but it does not want to open. I've searched the forum and I know someone has done this- anyone?

see the photo. The red circles are the screws I have removed. The blue circle is some kind of tab I think I need to release
