While disassembling the gun (maverick), I noticed a short, fat spring popped out when removing the slide. Once I put the thing back together without that spring, the gun doesn't shoot and only makes a loud sound when I try to. Later, I tried to modify the barrel and took it out and cut the rods off, also throwing away any pieces attached to them as shown by this video (I followed all its steps concerning the barrel but taking it apart the first time was unrelated).



However, I was left with one spring that was skinnier than the other 6 fat weak ones so I kept it. Since I still don't have the first problem fixed, I'm not sure if this spring will have any difference as well. How can I get the maverick to work again? I'd really appreciate the help :-)

If it makes any difference, this was the first time I made any changes to the gun.
