On another note, bolt action door win!

Hahahaha, nice jack. I like it.
And I figure I'll lose some people's attention. I wrote it for myself mostly. I had a somewhat frustrating day at work and decided to write a rant, then decided I might as well try to make it humorous and somewhat useful.

That's quite an informative rant, but it's way too long even for somebody like me. I only read halfway through it. Maybe I'll read the rest later...

I am going to make a 6 mm gun with a friend.
What do you think of this?
The fill & pilot valve is a presta.

Well, what can I say, it looks like a piston valve launcher. 
Any details? Piston materials, operating pressure?
EDIT: One second, jack, one forking second.

Aaaargh! you're horrible! very usefull however 
piston material: epoxy! filled aluminium tubing with bicycle inner tire sealing face
Barrel: 6 mm ID 8 mm OD aluminium tubing, partially sleeved with 8 mm ID 10 mm OD aluminium tubing.
an internal supressor around the barrel, to make the barrel stronger, and maybe reduce noise.
Chamber : copper, 10 mm ID 12 mm OD, 22 cm long

Depending on your operating pressure, I would go for plumbing gasketing (the red rubber sheeting). Of course, insane pressures call for something else entirely, but I note you still haven't stated the operating pressure.

operating pressure: as high as possible 
(I want to keep al my fingers on, however)
i'll turn a nice piston out of a piece of teflon, if I can get my hands on it.
To get a nice seal, would a cone shape be practical?
Also, could a piece of HDPE replace the teflon?

Well, the whole piston doesn't need to be teflon, just the sealing face, and I do believe they sell teflon washers. No sense in making the whole piston out of teflon, unless you like the low-friction aspect.
At higher pressures, pretty much any softer plastic could be used, but durability is a concern.
Also, you'll have to put in a little more work towards getting sealing face on the end of the barrel/pipe as square and smooth as possible.

Pay no attention to that grumpy efficiency Nazi behind the curtain You probably wouldn't notice the difference in performance from my suggested mods without a chrony, and yay for epoxy and integral suppressor

okay, here is the final design:
I'm making two of these in a while.
The guns will be painted matte black.

Looks good, I presume the diagram shows the hammer in both cocked and fired positions?
