MAY contain plastic parts
(my experience).
In the interest of the volkshalbautomatisch, I'm going to try and keep things below 150 psi which is most people can manage :)

I just realised these are actually quite useless as semi auto pilots.

The "rest" position is actually when the trigger is pulled, so you would have to keep it pulled and release it to fire. booooooooo.

Really?



Wrap a rubber band around it to keep it shut.

Add a lip to the existing trigger, use the existing screw to secure it....and flip the valve upside down...

That would work, but it doesn't sit with using "off the shelf" parts...

FINE!



:D

What if you'd use the shelf as triggermaterial?
Sometimes a rubber band is included in the delivery.. :roll:


I apologise for not understanding the off the shelf concept..
ever...

You know, it would make an interesting booby trap trigger...
