I'm buliding a small 1/4" QEV powered pistol, and I just need to know if it is possible to pilot a 1/4" QEV with a schrader valve. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

if you gutted a schrader spanner, what would you seal it off with, as soon as you would take the bike pump- compressor off it would shoot.

Yes it is possible to pilot a qev with a schrader.

Why does it look like the valves are glowing? The gras around them is all silvery looking.
