Troubleshoot AGM MG-42. I was firing it with my siblings and it suddenly stopped firing and began making this noise whenever the trigger was pulled. Any help would be appreciated.

If there is no adjustment screw in the pistol grip, you will most likely need to take it apart to access the motor cage and adjust the motor height from there. Also ,as aforementioned, check to make sure nothing is stripped.

It sounds like it might be on the back.

These comments have me 💀 it’s a stripped piston or a stripped bevel. Take the motor out, of the bevel gear on the tip of the shaft has all of its teeth intact, remove the gearbox and peek inside to see if the piston’s teeth are still intact. If both sets of teeth are good then best bet is to take it to a tech.

They don't sound stripped, if they were it would sound much different.

I’ve had AEGs that sounded the exact same with a stripped piston, trust me mate it’s a strong possibility.

The motor isn't in far enough, use the screw on the bottom of the grip to adjust it upwards until it shoots again. If you're still having problems google "Motor Height"
Worse case scenario, stripped gears.
Could be, which would suck for OP :(

If the bottom doesn't have a screw what do you recommend I do to move the motor up. Should I strip it down?
Not familiar with the gun, maybe the screw is on the side? I'm pretty sure all AEGs have one.
It probably has a motor cage inside the grip. You would need to take the grip off to adjust the screw.
They have a split gearbox so you should be able to see the what's when you take it apart without having Todo too much work
