I don't know how you fix a broken one but I do have an idea on how one can break. The AS-20 is a gun with a pump and uses pressurized air. The two most common ones are a breakage with the pump. The pump is long and fragile when pulled out all the way. This means that a lot of the time kids will either pull the pump too hard out or just end up breaking it some other way making the pump loose and no longer pumping the gun. The other way is over-pumping it. I've noticed that this happens very frequently. What happens is when you over-pump it the air tank breaks over a period of time if you keep doing it. It says you should pump it 30-35 times on the box but some of these guns can fire all of the darts with just twenty pumps. Try 20 to start off, see if it fires all of the darts, and if it doesn't shoot all of the darts, increase the pumps by five over and over until it fires all darts. Then remember to only pump it that many times.

I've had both of these problems the AS-20s I've gotten. First some younger kids came over and broke the pump. Then I bought one that just didn't work from the start seemingly because it had been over-pumped in the past somehow. So i returned that one and got another one that worked at first, but quickly broke like the last one, probably because I pumped it fifty times. After not using it for a few days it was working again so I started testing it more, pumped it forty times, and it broke the same way. I went online to see how to fix it, found out the information I'm giving right now, went over to this sight, saw no answers, and decided to type this. I now know not to over-pump it and if mine starts working again I will make sure to not to do that to it again.
