Do you mean Arctic Shock? If so, here is the linkfor the gun's internals, but you might have to buy a new gun, the Max-D triggers are hard to repair.

What is it then? A Secret Strike? A HydroBlitz? An Arctic Blast?

Aqua Shock was a line of soakers, not a single soaker. If you don't know what one you actually have, just describe its appearance (or post a photo).

But in any case, this sounds like a typical Max-D trigger failure.

Yeah, just found out that it was a line, and here are the different kinds and their links, so you can point out which one you have.

Secret Strike

Hydroblitz

Arctic Blast

Leaking from the nozzle during pumping is a classic problem. You'll need to use a rubber band or spring help close the trigger valve.

I think it's just broken. It sounds like one of the ways that the MD trigger stops working.

This happened to my Max-D 6000 a while ago. If you just pull the trigger again, it should work. However, I would recommend performing the mod here, which removes the Max-D trigger parts that fail.

You may not even have to use rubber bands. The valve may simply need lubrication to help it stay closed. Look for silicone based lubricants safe for plastics and rubber. Silicone grease works the best, but since the internals of many blasters are very small, you may need to use a spray type lube which should also work decently.
