I don't know if there are any actual tutorials on making a co-ax... but that is different than a QEV... What do you want to do? Buy a QEV or make a piston valve?

If I can buy QEV's where would I find them? Other wise I know how to make piston valves, but I kinda don't want to unless I have to.

You'll have a lot of fun just getting a QEV, putting a metal chamber on it and cranking it up to like 500 psi. Easy to build too.

Ok, well let me know if I can get one from some where like Lowes or Home Depot. Also, I have a friend who has a broken paintball gun, should I try and salvage the trigger system for the qev from the paintball gun? Or just build my own?

afaik you cant get them from home depo or lowes, but not from the us.
you cant make your own read this. idk if your mates pb gun is a autococker you might be able to get a 3way valve from it and make your gun semi auto.

I think I have decided what I will do, but I will need to figure out a chamber system and stuff. I will use a T with a piston inside it, and I will figure out a chamber and air tank storage place, then have a barrel about 24 inches long with a blow gun trigger.

Just to let you guys know, I should be getting a set of 200 different compression and extension springs, so I will be getting to work on a piston very soon! :D Let the fun commence.
