Do a search for pcp...go through the threads on the first page.

Nothing worthwhile comes without a cost....the cost here is your time.

The answers to your questions have already been posted at length on the forum, a bit of patience to absorb as much information as you can is all you need ;)

i have been searching for several days now looking for alternative cheap valves, i think i found something... just not sure if they can handle the pressure... also i have been looking at building smaller hand held micro size shooters.. anyway check these out under the heading "Pneumatic Air Valves and micro Pneumatic Air Valves". let me know what you think!

Push button valves generally are ideal for pilot valves but not as main valves unless you're shooting very small calibres ( <0.177" ).

It was merely a response to your juvenile question ;)

If you don't have the wherewithal to sift through the forum to find basic information, I would strongly recommend you start with standard off-the-shelf parts before attempting to build your own.
