I've had this happen to a few of my C02 guns. Remove the cover. Unscrew the pressure plate under the C02 cartridge. Rapp the bottom of the pistol butt with your hand. It's going to take a few times but it will come lose. You can also try pushing down with your thumb between strikes.
A few things to remember when you go to put a new C02 cartridge in. Purchase "Crosman Pellgun oil." DO NOT USE regular oil it will damage the seals. Put a drop of oil on the end of the 12 gram cartridge before you put it in the handle. It will lubricate the seals and help prevent it from sticking in the handle. Never leave a C02 cylinder in the pistol overnight it will eventually blow the seals. Those cylinders produce 800 PSI so it is not good to leave them in the pistol. They only cost about 60 cents each and not worth trying to save. I get about 60 to 80 shots out of my pistols before they run out if C02 then I remove the cylinder when I'm finished. It's also good practice to remove them to prevent someone else from picking up the pistol and discharging it by accident.

What is a better air pistol Gamo PT 80 Crosman C11 or a Crosman 357?
The C-11 is a BB gun. The other two are pellet pistols. Of the three I prefer the 357 it is more accurate than the other two pistols.

How far can the gamo varmint hunter shoot?
The shape, weight and size of the pellet all effect the ballistics of the shot. Each of these factors plus outside temperature and wind effect the distance the pellet travels. Therefore there is no set distance. Remember, after the high point of the pellet shot curve the pellet begins to loose its momentum and penetration.
What is Gamo's fastest air rifle?
Both the Gamo "Extreme" and "Hunter" line of Air rifles claim a manufacture FPS (Feet Per second) of 1250 FPS with Lead and 1650 FPS with .177 PBA pellets. Now here is the truth you should know. Don't confuse speed with accuracy or power. Most any air rifle that fires a pellet at 1200 FPS or better can obtain a speed of over 1600 FPS, simply by firing a light weight pellet and that is what Gamo PBA pellets are, very light weight. Light weight pellets are subject to cross wind and easily drift off target. Here is an Example, a .177 Gamo PBA Pellet weighs 5.4 grams while a H&N .177 pellet weighs 10.65 grams. The H&N pellet will not fly near as fast as a Gamo PBA pellet, But it will fly straighter and have considerable more knock down power than the GAMO pellet. A $2750 Olympic Feinwerkbau air rifle fires a match grade pellet at 500 FPS. This may seem to be slow, but it's dead accurate, and Olympic shooters understand accuracy. Also remember air guns/rifles are also made in the following calibers with each one slower than the previous, But look at the size. The last one fires a pellet as large as your thumb and is capable of bringing down a Boar or Deer. The sizes are: .177, .20, .22, .25, .357 Cal, 9MM, 45 Cal, and 50 Caliber. So don't confuse "Speed" with "Accuracy or Knock Down" power.
