i have an air pistol and it has gone off and hit my foot. I assume there’s not much I can do seeing as to it being a superficial wound. How am I to know?

I have one of these in the recall ser. no. range with a similar, if not the same (I suspect the same), as your description of “not cocking.” The fix for me was in the trigger adjustment screws in front of the trigger, which required backing off of the outer screw so that the sear would operate and allow the cocking mechanism to complete the operation (the sear operates properly and the piston stays back). The smaller, inner screw seems to fine tune the trigger release by spring/ball detent (?). However, the outer screw is fragile and doesn’t seem to fit the threads well. I don’t know if this problem is related to the recall problem, or not (My guess is yes.). The fail is that the sear release gets stuck down in front of the trigger sear preventing the piston from staying back in cocking position. I live in the USA and have a friend in NZ if I can be of any help.
