Brass eagle loaner broke

I bought a brass eagle eradicator some time back and went to air it up today and it will not shoot no gas wil be released at all. I pulled the valve under the barrel there was no blockage.
It would be nice to have my loaner up and running this is really bugging the out of me.

Have you done anything to it since it last worked?

Is it a new tank, or the one that was last on it?

Actually it has never been aired up this was the first time it has had air on it and it was new in package when I bought it. So this is what has me in a pickle.

Ok so when you screw a tank on does the gun pressurize? It's gotta be something simple.

Yeah , the tank will hiss and you screw it on and it will stop so you know that the gas is engaged. The you cock it and it will not shot like it isn't letting gas in when the bolt goes foreward to push the valve open.

Hmm...1st thing that comes to mind is to screw the velocity screw in further. If it's not in enough, the hammer won't have enough inertia to counter the pressure of the cupseal.
