i just watched the auto pneumatic tutorial on bc vids. I understood it all except for the pressure switch. Can someone please explain what its purpose is and how it works. Thank you.

Since it is a "auto" gun, what the switch does is control the sprinkler vavle, when the chamber reaches 100PSI(IIRC)the gun will fire, hence the name"auto". There is a little contact in side of the switch and at the pressure it is set it hits 2 contact points and turns the switch on.
