Beast, the second QEV you linked to would work perfectly.
i was referring to the square one :D
I've personally put 100 BAR in one of those, I think it'll be ok

well ive been thinking and i want to make a sniper now so accuracy then power. i want to shoot .357 pellets at a high velocity around 700+ fps
and get around 10 shots or more depending on my air source.
what valve would be best the qev or slide valve? also im debating weather or not semi auto, bolt action w/ manuel loading or bolt action with a magazine. im probably going to go with semi auto but would it affect accuracy at all?
also im having a hard time understanding how to build a slide valve. any tips?

lol the QEV will defiantly be better as a main valve but if you want semi u have to use the slide valve to pilot the QEV.

With out a lathe it would be very hard I wouldn't even bother they are so cheap just get one of eBay for a few bucks.

also if you plan on shooting people with it as in paintball game 700fps will hurt like all fuk so keep it at 300ish
