The Splash Fire is a Piston Series. The trigger on it is fake.

you can't really get lubricant down the pump shaft without opening it...you need to put it on the o-ring...and you could just have something jamming up the insides..

a piston series?
well that explains it, piston series is ALWAYS hard to pump

But the Splash Fire is the only gun in my arsenal that does this and I have heard that this type of problem can be repaired.

The Pressure that forces water out the gun.

does it happen when you pump the gun?

[Hunt_and_Annoy]

OK...does water come out when you pump it?
does it become hard to pump when you're pulling it out, pumping it in, or both?

From what I see, the SplashFire is a track-mounted pump, so what I would do, is remove all screws on the Pump Handle, and take it off. Then get a picture of the side WITH the screws so I can see what I have to do next.

BTW there is a little something called... THE FORUM RULES.

the screws on guns can't be in places where it goes through a pipe or something, so if you use just the right size drill bit and be VERY CAREFUL it should go fine...that's what I did on my MXL...

But I'm a klutz! Don't have other solutions?

Yes perilous, I did read your post, when I post I try to start with a general summary like a good writer and then get to the root of the problem so others know what I am talking about. Other than redrilling holes, taping the soaker or leaving a few screws out, I can't really put this in a polite way.. your gun is screwed. :mellow: As Hunter has suggested through the AOL-like conversation posted here, see what he can do with it. Other than that, there is no other solution. -_- Racer is correct, again I urge you to read the FORUM RULES before I or the staff of SSC takes action.

I don't need any more advice on fixing my Splash Fire because I accidently fixed it. After the failed attempt to lubricate the pump track, I tried washed to wash the lubricant off the gun and most of the lubricant got washed into the gun's inner works and lubricated whatever was causeing the problem. Like I said, I don't need anymor advice on fixing the Splash Fire.

Good, and I agree with everyone else....read the rules...or be suspended...
