can you please not say n2 tank exploded when all that happened is a nipple oring or burst disk. very misleading.
go to your local field/store and tell them to fix it. If you have no idea where the air came from you will need to put air back into to see the leak.my feedback

more than likely it will not work. mags usually need at least 800psi to fully work without issues.my feedback

the air most likely came out of a burst disk. Ever leave a co2 tank in your house in the winter? The co2 becomes unstable and gains a higher pressure thus setting of the burst disk. It is created so the air can safety vent out of the bottle.Comment

Wishone, so you'll miss playing Winter ball in the snow. Sorry, man.
The burst disc is inside the nut on the left of the valve (in the picture). Since you didn't readily know where it was on your regulator I agree you should take it to a qualified airsmith to check out. Probably not real serious or expensive, burst disc or fill nipple o-ring.

If its the burst disk its like a 7 dollar fix at most and if its a fill nipple its like a 15 dollar fix at most. If the reg went and needs rebuilt it may be a little more and a bit of work. I dont know what type of tank you have though to know how easily the reg can be rebuilt if the problem was there. A buddy of mine had a fully 20oz go on him. It was the pin valve that went bad. It was pretty scarry until we knew what was actually going on. By that time the tank was pretty much empty though.Why doesnt anything work for me.Comment
