I personally like sprinkler valves. Not up to modding one huh? I thought the same thing like it would be hard or something. I learned how to do it in here and it was so darn easy. Read this.

When you're shooting ONE airsoft BB at a time, a sprinkler valve would waste so much air, plus the cost and the only AS effective, not more.

Ok noname, I'll give you that. But what if he sometime he wanted to put a shotgun type barrel on it(assuming the barrel is removable)or shoot a potato out of it. Good blow guns range from 5-10 dollars and at Lowes a
3\4" Rainbird sprinkler valve cost right at 15 dollars. A couple more bux, a lot more power, and sometimes a little overkill is ok.
