Looks like your valve is stuck. Have you been oiling your marker? If not break it apart and remove the airline to the powertube. Then remove the powertube. Look in the hole the airline was in you should see a spring. Drop a few drops of gun oil into the hole. Look in the large opening (back end) of the powertube, you'll see an aluminum plate with a pin sticking through it. Take something flat that will fit inside the powertube and push on that pin several times. This will work the oil onto the orings in your valve and your gun should start firing again. This may only be a temporary fix though, depending on how far gone the orings might be.
