Hot button on VLS RAGNAROK

Moving this over to Mechanical Mods, hoping someone might know.
Do what @BoomStick said, and see if it helps. If not try this.
If it's a clone, then the spring is probably either cheap material, or worn out. You could replace the spring with a better one, or swap them out for magnets, which I've personally found to be alot more reliable. Also if the spring has a lower resistance than your coils, this can also make the button hot (spring will act as the coil and get hot, instead of the actual coils). This was the issue I had with my Maraxus, the first spring wore out, I replaced it with an SS spring, without realizing it had a lower resistance than my coils. Hot Button Every Time! I Switched them out for magnets, and now it works great. The button design isn't too far from a Fuhattan, so I'd imagine finding magnets shouldn't be too hard, the Fuhattan magnets might even fit perfectly, might be worth taking a look at.

Magnets usually force the switch to rely on shaft/bore contact to complete the circuit which can cause hot button or inconsistent firing. A spring is constantly in contact with both pieces and can provide a more consistent and reliable connection. That is if everything is clean and a proper spring is used. In other words, magnets aren't always a fix and sometimes are the cause of problems. You're gonna have to investigate and see what you find. The only thing that applies no matter what's causing the problem is start with disassembly, cleaning and inspection.
