I just did a pump plug and barrel replacement mods, and I put it back together, and it doesn't pump any air! I don't know what I did wrong. all of the little pins are in place, and I can't see or hear any air leaks, but it's like it doesn't get any tougher to pump at all, it just isn't pumping any air. Has this happened to anyone before? Is it common?
What The Heck Happened To My At3k?!
what the hell?!

Did you do a BIC Pen Mod?
If you did, the pen is probably too long, so the valve leading to the barrel isn't sealed all the way.
If not, check to see if you put everything back together right.
My friend's AT3K had the same problem the night before WALL War. I can't remember how we fixed it, but we did get it working.
Open it up and see if it holds pressure when you pump it with the case off.

No, it doesn't even pump air when it is taken apart. I didn't do the pen mod, whatever that is, and all of the pins or pens, are back in. I think i am screwed. Hey, at least the freddy's near me sells genuine airtech 3000's in two packs for $20. But I also took out the liquitron power guage and plugged the little hole, but it wouldn't pump air before I did that, so I know that is not the problem.

There's your problem.
When you took the liquitron guage, for some reason without the liquid, it won't pressurize ANY air.
Try putting a vynil tubing barb/coupling/splice where the liquitron guage was. if this doesn't work, put your internals under water while pumping. If there's a leak, it will bubble where it is.
If you can't fix the leak, then go to dollar general and pick up a 3k 2 pack for $8. Yes, only $8
Oh, and sorry for being such a bastard earlier, I do that sometimes.

Its a store where they sell things cheaper than everywhere else.
You're welcome.
Ouch, sounds like the guns valves might be bad.
That or overall bad guns.
One of mine was like that, it turned out the valve in the pump was bad... When I pumped it, the one way valve would just let the air leak out. Pretty sucky.
I suggest getting another set. Test them thoroughly before modding them. If there is anything wrong, return them for another set.
Hopefully this solves it.

When you pump the gun, is air pressurized even for a moment, or does it shoot out as fast as it is pumped in? If it holds air for a minute, pump it and hold it to your ear. Do you hear a hissing noise? If so it is probably just an airtank leak. Some plumbers goop in the right spot should clear it up. If it goes out as soon as it goes in you either have a HUGE leak, or a faulty valve. If you havent already, I recommend you disassemble the whole thing and try inspecting it from there
