Problem with Flash FLood
So I just came back to the forums from a long break. And I took out my water old water guns I have one flash flood and an arctic shock. And I was using the flash flood today and suddenly It just stopped working. I pressed the trigger but no stream came out. The riot blast worked however so I'm not sure If I should open it up or what.
All help is appreciate d
Thanks

Shake the gun and listen if you can hear anything rattling around. Most likely the spring for the trigger broke. Either that and/or tone of the plastic pegs that holds the spring broke. Happened to mine a couple years ago, just fixed it a few days ago. It's a common problem with the Max-D trigger guns.

Strange I opened it up and I had only half the screws on and I tried toi open it with the screws because some couldn't get out. and then I fired it and it started working. Weird. But I noticed that the trigger is supposed to click when It was broken It didn't I didn't even really have to do anything and it worked.

Don't close it up yet! This happened to my arctic blast and it's because the spring is too weak. You can sometimes get it to work again just by opening it up, but very soon it'll stop working again. What you need to do is get a new stainless steel spring and replace it with the old one. Now it should be entirely fixed.

Oh darn I closed it but it works fine for now. But when I pumped it alot for a big flash flood the stream wasn't working but after I emptied the tank it worked again.

Hmm... I guess the Flood nozzle needs a new spring too?

Re: Problem with Flash FLood
That might mean that the trigger valve for the smaller stream is forced closed when the PC is full. I would open the gun again and check to see if the spring is underexpanding the valve, or if there is another problem.
