Have you taken the eye pipe out? If not slide your finger into the breach and you should be able to feel it and pull it out. Otherwise maybe a cotton bud down the feedneck?

Your eyes are broken mate. If your eye pipe is clean and not cracked and it still isn't working then they need replacing. If you don't feel confident doing this I recommend you send to dye or have someone who knows what they are doing do it for you. Pretty simple job though. Don't you have a manual?

The Proto is a battery hog, its best to take the battery out when the gun isn't being used. I can see a fresh battery draining in a week even if the gun hasn't been switched on!

Green flashes is either eyes or battery. And it will drain battery like you've never seen before.
The Proto is built so that the bolt will clean the eyes at every shot, so keep your bolt clean, and then your eyes will be as well.

Put in a good Duracell battery, and you'll be good to go.
