Thanks for your patience, everyone. It's no secret that I only know enough about airsoft guns to break them down and replace cosmetic parts. That being said, is the nozzle here in the forward position? Even if it isn't, I can wiggle it a little bit (about a half millimeter, like ThunderCactus said). This is the position it was in when I tried to compress it against my desk top.
Adamlxlx: If that's the case, would it cause all three of the problem's I'm having or just one or two?
