It could be used with a few mods to you design look at c11mans semi, that seems like a simpler semi, plus it had more power than most semis, then again I havent made a semi like yours or c11man so Im not gonna give any more suggestion till I actually build on. Do you want multiple shots from the tank or are you staying hooked up to a compressor, my suggestion would indead be pointless if its meant to be portable

Yes but compared too other semis if scaled up it would have more power to because it dumps the whole tank

It dumps the whole chamber, then the tank refills it through the 3way.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean in that first paragraph. If the cylinder were to be commercially bought, then it would be rather long and could act as a foregrip. This design was to be put to a semi airsoft sniper in which case the cylinder would be homemade, like I mentioned earlier and would only be a few inches long, with the rest of the air chamber extending under and parallel to the barrel so it would be more sniper-like.
Sorry for the late reply :oops:

Essentially, I was saying that the force of the cylinder rod may damage the seat against which the ammo lies before firing. When the rod pushes a round up, that impact may adversely affect the piece used to connect everything together. I of course assumed it would be fashioned from either aluminum or epoxy because those seem to be the most common custom fitting materials.

As for my fore-grip comment:
You could easily fit a grip of some sort over the cylinder body. Think along the lines of a bike handle grip. While the length of the cylinder would not ultimately determine the length of the grip, it would indefinitely be a good way to add a bit of pizazz.

and its more powerful because i used a piston valve instead of Clides less powerfull valve, of cousrse mine used a ton more air....

and i just finished up anouther semi/full auto today, this one shoots 1inch solid plastic balls and is more efficent, it is very similar to the golfball one expect smaller of course

Ok I understand now but that would be an easy thing to avoud since I am making my cylinder.
