Okay, I just got the AT3K two pack at TRU. They worked fine for stock Air Techs, but after shooting the silver one about twenty to thirty times, it leaks. It worked the first few times after laying around for a few hours, but then every time I pumped it, it leaked. As soon as the pump handle is pulled, the air escapes. The barrels also don't rotate. I did a search on this, but didn't find anything about leakage. Please help, it's really pissing me off.

EDIT:Wait, it rotates, sorry. There is a severe leak in it, though.

The same thing happened to me. The air is leaking out the check valve in the pump that lets air in but not out. I replaced the pump but then I had to single barrel it because the pump rotates the barrels. If you did not modify the guns yet you should return them. If you already modified them to bad.

EDIT; I did not plug the air release valve so its not overpumping.

When I pull the pump back about 3/4 of the way, it pressurizes it. If I do this about four times, I have a pressurized tank. Could it still be the check valve? This is an inconvenience, but at least I can still use it.
