Dude, this is a slowish forum, give it a day and see how you go

Now, what's the purpose of the slide valve? Usually you'd use it on the pilot instead. Also unless you've put an equalisation hole in the diaphragm of the QEV, it'll just leak out into the barrel.

I'm not sure it would.

That's quite a big pilot area you have there, I don't know if the pop-off's brief "blip" will be enough to fire the QEV.

Why don't you have the trigger feed into the chamber instead?

This one is more efficient than this one

In your second diagram, the pressure washer is still trying to fill the pilot directly while the pop-off is trying to empty it. Technically this happens in the first one as well, but you're feeding mainly into the chamber, not the pilot.

So both will work correct? Just one is more effifient? Becuase id like the trigger to be more gun like than just a bunch of pipes that can shoot

Your second diagram is essentially this, and that certainly worked :)

Oh one more question ... How do you propose i connect the hpa tank to the gun since paintball setups do not use npt threading? My best guess was going to be cutting the remote line and finding a regular npt brass barbed tube connector thing with those hose clamps ... Would that work ok?

This has 1/8" NPT fittings on each end.

This could connect to your tank, and to the remote line:

Alternatively, you can buy 1/8" NPT fittings to connect a remote line normally:

please do not use hose clamps with HPA... what pressure did you plan on running at?
