I found this http://www.instructables.com/id/Airgun- ... ase-Valve/. Has anybody seen or used a valve like this. It seems pretty simple.

Been posted twice before

what forum are they in?i havent seen them before.

Not sure, but I know atleast the original topic is still on the boards, the second one may of been deleted because it was within days of the first one. I figured this topic is a month or two after the last one so there may be new discussion about the valve.

Lol, I commented on that (blugyblug)
its actually really popular for some reason and its not really that great.

The valve is almost identical to a Nelson based paintball marker. Usable, but not new.

ok so its not new. i have never seen it before. but why is it not really good.

I think he's referring to the flow rate. It just doesn't have it compared to a piston valve. But this has more qualities than just massive air flow. There is a reason it's really popular. I actually have plans to use this type of valve on one of my future projects.

can it be used on a multi shot gun?

That's it's main purpose. See the link I posted above for more detail on how it works.

so the only bad part is the flow rate?

But it's not that bad. In my opinion, it's an awesome valve.

This valve would be really easy to make larger using different parts of course...

i think i will use it for a small caliber high pressure dart gun.

It uses a similar valve as what I use on my guns:

I use the barrel as a hammer.
