I know I did something wrong but what. I had 2 pellets jammed in the barrel of my Vulcan 2. I went on Youtube and found out how to remove the barrel. Very easy, but after clearing the barrel of the 2 pellets, I re-installed the barrel. No problem so I thought, now to go shoot. Upon cocking the gun and pulling the trigger, all I got was a poof sort of sound, like very weak. I tried reloading and again just a poof sound. The pellets did go out the barrel but they only went a feet I think. I removed the magazine and dry fired it and the same thing happened. I am very frustrated to say the least. It must be something simple I hope. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks.
Vulcan 2 not shooting after taking off barrel and reinstalling it

No I didn't. I am new to PCP's, is this O-ring attached to the barrel? It looks like there is a recessed rim on the end of the barrel and I was thinking that maybe an o-ring would fit there? I am taking a picture of what I mean. It funny but I looked and looked for anything that may have fell when I removed the barrel. Nothing.

On closer examination I believe the o-ring is on the inside of the barrel. And I see it and it looks good. Maybe I didn't insert the barrel far enough in order to seal properly? If I did that incorrectly, how far should it be inserted.

Possibly the port of the barrel is not lined up properly. That would be where I would look first. That hole in the bottom of the barrel needs to be lined up to receive the air. Maybe?

Yes Dan that was it. Thank you for your reply and help. I am starting to understand the workings of these PCP rifles. I guess a lot of it is common sense once you start tearing into them.
