Hello

I have a fwb c10 currently listed for sale. I am trying to fire it and I don’t know how to do it anymore as its been years. I screwed a full tank of co2 tightly on. I pull back the chamber opening all the way until it opens and clicks. I put a pellet in facing the correct way. I close the chamber cover thing tightly. I press the tigger. It makes a click noise and thats it.

What else should i be doing? What is the little bar shaped button that looks like a safety does that need to be pressed?

I need advice please

Are you sure the CO2 cylinder is pierced? Did you try firing a few times?
Here is a youtube of a guy shooting one, seems straightforward load, fire repeat.
If you don't understand the language the cc will give spanish subtitles. At least I can understand spanish, but just the video may show you what you need to know.

LOL- that high pitched voice grated on my hearing aids.

My understanding, the lever/button on the left side is to lock the bolt for dry fire. Maybe that's seized?

They have a dry fire capability. When it is engaged it blocks the hammer from opening the valve and just clicks. I believe the gun needs to be cocked in order to take it off of dry fire.

The FWB Model 2 match pistol had a dry-fire push/pull slide on the side of the action, just under the breech-end of the barrel, iirc.
Same location (slightly different appearance) as the gun in the link. I'm assuming they (FWB's) are all very similar.
