Unfortunately, the gun you purchased is of the lowest quality possible, so it might just be irreparable.

Does it have a fresh power source in it? (these do use a rechargeable battery, right?)
Does the gun make any sound? (motor or gears trying to do something)
If you shake the gun, are there any loose parts in?
How did you damage/think you damage the gun?
Was it dropped?
Etc...

It's a long shot since instead of a modular (and repairable) gearbox (the thing that makes the thing shoot), it's probably just molded directly in the body.

Furthermore, unlike the idiot poster above that advocated the use of guns in public, be aware that depending on where you live there might be laws or bylaws prohibiting the discharge of airguns in public.

Also, even if the gun is used for target practice, be sure your son has eye protection since ricochets do happen. Keep an eye out when he uses it, as you are liable for anything stupid he does with it.

Good luck!
