Happened to me a few times and I created the thread
And yes, there are "valveless" wheeled vehicles, no need to be such a wankel

hows prototyping going?
It isn't, I've shelved the idea as it turned out to be more than a little fiddly in practice. At the moment I'm thinking about preloaded carts along these lines:
Before I do that though, I want to "max out" the concept in a single shot HPA launcher with a long barrel and large chamber, to see if I can better the results I had a achieved with my 6mm burst disk launcher

Yeah I've seen that car before. I particularly like this video, where they've replaced the original audio with that of.... a turbine jet
EDIT: And yes Ragnarok, I'm aware of Wankel engines... I just figured that a topic wouldn't spring up about a valveless car featuring an already well established form of engine.

On a more serious note, recent testing suggests that a couple of balls may well be the solution as opposed to a single rod, which only puts pressure on one side and does not allow proper sealing at high pressures.

Stuff could get interesting here.
You could get something like this cheaply, but there would still be an effort (and probably epoxy ) involved in connecting it to the barrel. Unless of course, it was on a cartridge and didn't actually need to be connected to the barrel.... hmmm... but still, you'd need to add a seal for the projectile.
I think in the circumstances, making your own would be much quicker.
