I got my hornet, and when i pumped it, the gun would not keep its air. So I opened it up and saw a black tip, of what looks like a one way air flow, at the back of the pump, i now that will open and close. Still no air goes to the tanks.
Any help?

From that it sounds like you got a leak in your airtank. Open it up and find out where its coming from, and plug the leak with epoxy, Plumbers goop, etc.

Also, hornets are usually pretty crappy, so if all else fails, do this mod.

I tried to lift the tanks out of the shell, they wouldn't budge. How do i disassemble it (air tanks out)?
And how would i find this leak? Because when i pump i feel no additional pressure of every pump i take.

I had the same problem. I tried something interesting. I completely filled and covered the little orange nub on the back with hot glue. Mine works perfectly now. I hope I helped.

I'm pretty sure there's screws holding it in place.

But yeah. As said above, Hornets can sometimes reach distances of 70 feet, other times they won't even shoot.

Not too reliable, and an annoying gun to use/get used to.

Thanks

I believe the problem is the valve that connects the Hornet to the Titan. If that's weak, air will leak from it. Try plugging it up with something and see if it helps.

That's what happened with mine.

My blast buttons were leaky. I put 1/2" PVC coupler segments over them. Worked like a charm, but I had to cut up the shell to accommodate.

I have tons of probelms with the hornet.
