Our air compressor seems to be having some difficulty; when it pressurized and I started to blow air, the trigger stayed on despite me letting the trigger go. Turning the whole compressor off, turned the air gun off but it would have mixed results when i turn it on. Sometimes the gun was still on, sometimes it wasn't. May need to look into fixing the airgun or possibly a new air compressor.
