It is already blowing back into the hopper?
Yes. I changed nozzles and will check it tomorrow after my first great granddaughter's second birthday party, then I will venture into the unknown and remove the large nut and see what lies beneath

When the gun/nozzle is plugged it is already blowing back through the pickup hose, same as putting your thumb over it.

Lawson, to unplug it take the gun out of the machine and put the shop air hose against the nozzle and pull the trigger and blow back through the gun,
with the trigger held open and blowing backwards through the gun should clear it.
