I have never seen this happen with a G&P mechbox and I've probably worked on more G&P guns than anyone in Canada. G&P mechboxes are as tough as they come. The only way you're going to break that post is intentionally. And this really has little to do with his problem at hand. Nearly all guns will temporarily lock up in semi-auto. Ver 3 guns are the most notorious for this, but Marui as an example covers this problem in every manual for every gun they make.

Vatek, your motor heating is normal as the motor brushes seat themselves against the commutator. You'll also notice a slight burning smell. This is normal. Try to avoid long bursts of full auto and don't try to empty your mag in a single trigger pull.

Your gun loud because G&P uses a flat piston/cylinder head system and you likely have a 110 to 120 m/s spring in that gun. It's going to be loud, especially on a dry-fire. You can partially solve this by installing a silent head system, but it will cost you a few FPS.
