ArchieHood 3,692 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 If the gun is empty I think it needs to be cocked to fill with air, if you rub the stock and whisper Buster 3 times the Air Arms Genie may appear............ Quote Link to post

Tron 173 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 It shouldnt blow air out if the bolt is forward and locked. You will probally find the bolt seal has been blown out or totally worn out for air loss to happen. Quote Link to post

Craig Fosse 286 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 I really am surprised any kind of pellet could do that, sounds to me more like you double fed it a few times and they got jammed out on the foreign cycle Quote Link to post
