I recently purchased the F5 launcher but because I was deployed on a military ship, I just did finally get home to try it yesterday.
I am not super AR savvy so looking for suggestions from some of you ex-spurts. I attached the ball shooter to my existing AR's lower and bought a new BCG/charging handle so it would have its own dedicated. Only thing I didn't do is install a forward assist in the upper (didn't realize it had one so on order now). Not sure if this would cause any issues.
So my problem is that the blank rounds are not ejecting and are actually getting stuck in the chamber. The first couple I was able to pull the charging handle and cycle the action to extract them however the rounds progressively got worse to the point I had to smack the charging handle with a rubber mallet to get the BCG to extract the last round I shot. I have only ran about a dozen rounds through it and am at a point I don't want to mess anything up by continuing to shoot it.
Ideas?
*Edit to add - I reached out to the company and it looks like they are going to send me a new one. Maybe a manufacturing issue?*
