what if a sprinkler valve was modded with a pop-off valve, i will work like a reuseable diaphram.
I will add a picture to explain very soon... |

| well, it would work, though the pop off valve may not be open long enough to discharge the air above the phram |

| good point hadent thought of that, it would just keep equalizing and not fire, that would suck, is there a spring in the pop-off that pulls it back down, cuz if so couldnt u jsut take that out some how so the pop-off would stay open? |

| yeah, but if you can get it to fire when it opens, you would be able to make a semi or full auto design since when the pressure hits 125 it fires, and it'll keep doing that untill you shut off the air flow, but you'd have to have a blowgun too since when you unhook the pressure you still have about 100 psi inside of the chamber |

| i think you can buy them that way, but still, it'd be cool if it would actuate with a spring in it, full auto as long as you can supply 125 psi, a method of closing off the mag, and a big tube of ammo |

| i dont think u sould do it with a 125psi pop-off because most sprinklers are only tested for 125 max, putting it to the max every shot couldnt be good for it, if u do try it do it with a 120psi at the most i think. |

| 125 may be the max tested pressure, but plasticex009 has taken them hydrostatically to either 200 or 300 psi. and the toro ones are rated to 200 psi |
