When I was sanding out the air restrictors with my dremel I went to far in one of the barrels and went into the airtank so now when I pump it the air comes right out the hole in the tank pump it the air. When I look down the barrel can see the black valve peice.
So the gun has been sitting for a while like that and I opened it up today lookin for ideas of how to fix it. I can't seal the hole in the air tank so the bottom right tank needs to be cut off. I was thinking of cutting the tubes to the bottom two barrels off and glueing them closed. The bottom barrels are the tubes connected to the top of the firing mechanism and the top four barrels are connected to the bottom of the firing mechanismN-strike Hornet
Would epoxy work to seal the holes?
Broken Hornet?

Sorry for the double post but,
I'm going to cut the tubing that goes to the bottom two barrels and super glue a screw on the tubing, then I'm going to put a hose clamp around the screw in the tubing. Would there be a better way to seal the tubing?
I'm hoping this won't mess up the semi auto trigger mechanism, but I don't think it will because the barrels I'm cutting off are the bottom ones which fire last. So after I fire the first four barrels I'll just recock and repump.

Hey, tell me if I'm wrong, because I dont know if this would fix anything, but why not just plug up the barrel that has the leak? You lose one barrel, but hey, it could be worse.

Thats a good idea but I'm just going to cut the broken air tank off and glue the tubing closed. I just need to go buy some super glue and 2 small hose clamps.
