Yup, the FF's infamous trigger comes up again. Open up the gun and replace the (most probably) broken trigger springs with rubber bands.

To open up, you got to take down all the screws. (be especially aware of the ones under the Flood trigger) After that, be wary of the nozzle caps. There are screws inside you might be able to undo, otherwise you might be able to pry them out if they happen to be able to slip through. Then get rid of the pump cap. My prefered method of doing this is to use a flat-head screwdriver and hammering it to create a seam. The seam should be a straight, vertical line along the frame, so to allow the frame to split up.

After that, find rubber bands (extention springs work better if you can find them, if not, don't worry too much about it) that won't break easily and wrap them in. If the problem isn't the spring, you might have to glue something together. Study the trigger system and how it works, and reinforce and glue together whatever's necessary. In most cases however, the problem will be the spring so don't worry too much about this.

For the Flood nozzle, I assume the spring weakened up, at least mine did. I haven't had luck reinforcing it with rubber bands. The best I was able to do was to reverse the spring, which helped quite a bit. But for both triggers, you have to pull them fast; if not, they'll be more likely to lock up.

Good luck with the repair.
