FF broke - Trigger

[supersoaker]

Alright, well my FF broke (sigh) WHen I pull the trigger, it stays open, the stream fires, then I let go of the trigger, the stream keeps going, but it's weaker, HELP! I'm trying to open my gun, but 1 screw is stuck, it's not stripped, it's not the pump cap. On the FF trigger (the silver one)There are two screws, on the larger one, (say we're holding our FF with the pump facing left) The screw on the right is stuck! It keeps turning, but it won't come out and the gun won't open, HELP!

Maybe you stripped the plastic.

Yeah, maybe, any solutions? (I'm going to buy a new one anyways, but I might as well try to fix it)
and in my title it's broke not "borke" :p

Fixed the title entry.

As for the stubborn metal screw, if it's really stuck, perhaps you will have to resort to drilling it out (not sure how much experience you have with a drill; if little, get some help). If it turns, but doesn't come out, it does sound as if the inner plastic threads are stripped. You can opt to try to 'hit' it out by holding the blaster so the screw if facing downwards and carefully 'hitting' the opposite side to try to knock the screw loose without damaging the plastic. The drill is sort of the last resort.

Then again, if it is stripped, can you just pry the plastic apart in that area, then?

My suggestion is to saw it out, then cover the trigger with electrical tape. Another suggestion is that while you have it open is to electrical tape the PC of the FF. It looks awesome.

Just return it. It wasn't your fault it broke, was it? Or did you abuse it in some way?

[supersoaker]

Not my fault but it's over a year old, the return policy is voided, and thanks, I've tried smacking it out, so I'll try again, then drill it, I have a lot of experience with a drill isoaker.
