when you put the tank on what happens? Does the gun just not shoot or what?
NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil.

when i put the tank on i dont hear anythign (which i think i should be hearing something), but then when i try to shoot nothing happens (except for that small banging noise when i pull back the thing) and there arent any leaks or anything.

They need to be filled. A good way to test if air is going through the valve. Cock the gun, put your mouth on the asa (without the tank on it), blow as hard as you can and shoot the gun.

If its working you breath should push throught the valve and out the gun, if not I have no idea what to do.
