This problem is so common I feel bad when someone doesn't find the solution quickly.
The problem is that there is too much pressure for the valve to open. This happens in valves where a seal must pull back. The seal is pushed extremely hard against the front of the valve.
The solution is to open the water gun and pull the pin that leads to the firing valve. If that doesn't work, prepare to get wet and pull the PC from the place it is held.
The only ways to prevent this problem are to use less balloons and/or pump less. I'd suggest against 80 balloons. I myself never saw much point in going beyond 50 or 60 balloons at most.

It is not always from the pressure. My old 90 balloon gun did not shoot at first, but that was because I didn't align it correctly. My 68 balloon and 72 balloon 21Ks didn't shoot at first because the pin was scraping up against the pc. Carefully bending it away solved that problem.
I would suggest against 50, 60, and 80. 30-40 is the optimal amount if you want your trigger valve to survive for a long time. If you have to go high, do 80-90, for then the bladder will hit the pc walls before anything has a chance to blow out. ~45-75 allows you to pump enough times to blow out the trigger valve. With ~80-90, you can't blow out the valve and therefore don't have to watch your pump count. You can still get 60ft range with 40 balloons if you do other things to improve range.
