hey guys i had previously posted an idea for a airsoft style grenade(madbull)
but i scraped the idea after some helpful advise but i came up with two new different ideas one is a diaphragm release the other uses a hammer valve. i would appreciate advise on whether they would work or which one would be better with reasons why.

its cheaper more powerful and louder to put a edited for content in a easter egg and fill with bbs

Don't follow twizi's suggestion, it's dangerous at best, and in violation of the posting rules of the forum. Have you tested your idea in the diagram? The only trouble I'm thinking you might have is with the spring. BB's might get in the way of it's operation and it's looking kinda long to not be supported.

A piece of spring steel across the bottom would avoid both the above potential problems...

the spring is only there to reset the hammer valve but there are two different diagrams so im guessing your talking about the 1st one
BB's might get in the way of it's operation and it's looking kinda long to not be supported.
they will be resting in the barrels (which i didnt draw cuz im lazy) and the barrels will be on the outside of the tank (inbetween the outer pvc and the inner copper tanks(srry for not specifying that in the diagrams)
