So it's basically a tap? I've already called the shop and i can bring it back within a few days. I really just need a small regulator. The final product is a small CO² rig for a converted airsoft gas sniper rifle ;) Only problem is that i tapped the inside of one of the 1/4 exits for 1/8... So no ch...

Just a little update on this, i recently removed the entire pilot valve "assembly" and replaced it with a solenoid valve to act as the pilot valve. So yes, it is now electronically triggered :wink: It is still in a prototype status, but it works! I wanted to post some pictures but it looks kinda mes...

Regulate compressor to desired psi, muzzle load projectile, attach quick connect, open tap until chamber is full, close tap, disconnect air line... point and depress tyre chuck to fire. Also inside the 1/4 T-piece i have stuffed it with 2 short lengths of nylon tubing to drop the pilot volume, foun...

That's the pressure you are using? because I'm trying to find a regulator that's possible to get a output of +-10bar. I could mod a standard paintball regulator, but I would prefer a factory made one. I simply use a Palmers regulator, which i use for powering a few airsoft guns, and for now this ca...

In order to avoid breaking my pressure gauge on my HPA rig, i removed the gauge and screwed in a 1/8 plug. Therefore i had to rely solely on the mini gauge which was on the extinguisher valve :roll: http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww32/alex45569/DSC01184.jpg I filled it until the needle went past...

Bush the pilot side of the qev down to 1/4 and use a simple tyre chuck to pilot the valve. My wife was having problems firing mine so i simply used a bit of leccy tape to stick a larger ball bearing so it is resting against the chuck valves nipple. made the inny an outy trigger :lol: edit.. ps.. ni...

Nope, unless i keep the HPA rig connected between shots because it will keep supplying air :)

Well like i said, when i open the valve it just goes boom :D I can't seem to hear any noticeable delay when shooting it, unless i open it slowly. Its pretty much like pulling the trigger on a rifle. Not squeezing it of course :D

Hmm i can't really guess the size of the port just by looking at it, but maybe this pic will help to make an estimate:

My first cannon posted on this site.

Hi there. Although this is not the first cannon i ever built, the other two were the manual chamber-ballvalve-barrel type. Which was fun for a while, but this is my first more "advanced" attempt at this :D And English is not my native language, so i hope my writing isn't too bad :D http://i703.photo...
