Need a little more specific info from your friend, if you get a chance.

Pointing the gun towards the ground and having balls roll out, points to a ball detent problem.
If you look at the Spyder Victor diagram, it'll be part 04GA. Chances are, it'll need replacement.

That doesn't quite explain the gun cycling without propelling the ball though.
Will it always cycle air, but never propel a ball?
Or will it propel a ball some of the time?

If never, then I'm a bit baffled.
If sometimes, then the ball detent is definitely the first thing to explore.
