I put a pellet in it and went to fire. It did not fire, just sounded like a dry fire sound. Pushed a ram rod down the barrel, but it didnt get the pellet out. I was stupid and put another pellet in and tried firing. Same thing happened. What ya think is wrong with it, and what should I do to fix this? Thanks.

When you say that it sounded like a dry fire, do you mean that there was no sound of air at all? The first thing that comes to mind is a damaged piston seal but that really depends on your answer to the question above. The good news is that the piston seal is a simple o-ring.
Since I am assuming that the rifle is not building pressure, I would suggest applying some oil to the barrel to aid in removal of the pellets. Do this with the bolt open and the gun upside down. Angle the barrel so a couple drops of oil will flow down the barrel to the pellets. Allow some time for the oil to work it's way past the skirts and then try using the cleaning rod to push the pellets back towards the breach. It is important to keep the rifle upside down through this or the oil can work it's way inside the gun and possibly cause other issues. Once the pellets are cleared, use some goof off on some patches and clean the bore.
