Quick. Need to fix in time before CT.

MY 2500 IS BROKEN!!!
It has to fixed fast. Trigger literally crunched off. I never knew it had a snap until yesterday. I pulled it after charging the 2500 today to see if it would work; It just went *Crakchsmsm!!* and the trigger fell off.
Has to be fixed soon, it's still chargesd! I don't want to damage the PC!

Take the gun to somewhere it can get things wet (like outside), open the casing, hold the internals down, and pull the firing rod. That will empty the PC.

Well, that's good for not damaging the PC. What about the trigger?!?

Epoxy putty. However, if it snapped completely off, you'll need to be very careful with the execution of the repair. Re-attach the pieces as exactly as possible with something like gorilla glue and make sure it's clean and straight. Let that set and dry completely. Then use the putty liberally. Let the putty set and dry completely. You might need to widen the trigger slot for the wider trigger. A 2500 should have 4 shelf-like things in that area that you can just pry off with pliers. Remove those and then the rest is self-explanatory. I would seriously give the glue and putty 48 hours each just to dry. The last thing you want is for the trigger to break apart again, with all that stuff hardened all over it, which makes the next repair a lot tougher. Do it right the first time and the trigger should last forever.

^ I'd still recommend the aid of a metal strip in addition to the epoxy/gorilla glue. There's a page on SSC somewhere about it.

Sorry for da double post, but I would like your approval. I got
PASTE , not
PUTTY.
It's exactly this, in a different designed package:
Will that work? They say its superior to putty in strength, however it takes longer to set and dry. PC-7 is also the strongest kind of this.
It's also waterproof. The hardware store manager picked this out, even though I said, 'epoxy PUTTY'.
Will it work???

... You pulled the pin to release the pressure already, right?
Epoxy paste should work fine for what you are doing. You are not space filling or manufacturing here, so that will work. It's basically just epoxy. Glue.
Putty is great for filling holes and bodywork (because it's pliable and paintable).

Awesome. Can't wait to hear if it works. Make sure you sand it smooth so it pulls nicely. And don't tighten the screws until you have tested the trigger thoroughly, at medium-full pressure. My CPS 3000 was working great for a few days until I pumped it 100% the third time and THEN it decided to explode. Luckily it had done that a few times before, and there were hardly any screws in it.

I've also closed a gun up, tightened all of the screws, just to have the trigger fail- in a different spot- and have to open it up AGAIN to fix it. You never know....

My 2500 obviously hates me now. I tried to close, heard the same sound as before, and

It's still in one piece, but my dad ignored what DX said to use the epoxy a lot. So now I AM doing it MY way! It's crazyglued now, by 7 it will be ready for 'poxy,

Yeah you definitely need the epoxy. Did you also use a metal strip?
