Default Wont Shoot

I took my 2006 xtra out to play today and when i fired the gun, it uncocked. i had just filled up the tank to. and tried someone elses. you can also hear air escaping near the low pressure chamber (i think, its right under where the barrel attaches screws to the gun.
The people who own the field looked at it and couldnt find out what is wrong.
Should i take it to a shop.
Or can anyone help me

How often have you used it and how old is it? Do you take it apart regulary to clean and lube it? Sounds like you need to lube and/or replace the striker o-ring....
Does it leak when cocked or just uncocked?
The leak is probably the cup seal, and that might straighten itself out with repeated firings.....

You can take some high grit sand paper and lightly sand it down. That would be a good thing to try first.

cupseal...unscrew it fromthe valve pin and install new one. It's as simple as breathing.

Oil your striker ORing also. Recocking issues are normally tracked back to that one thing.
