OHHHHHHHHhhhh! I get it now... That's a really good a idea. If you put a weak spring behind the piston you could make a nice semi auto gun.

I guess you wernt sealing the breech. me stupid

just a quick question on pistons... whats keeping people from useing a cleanout cap instead of just a cap for the back?

Cleanouts are'nt pressure rated and there are'nt enough threads on it compared to a pressure fitting.

seems like a great idea but how would you prevent air from leaving the barrel through the loader?

You need to devize some kind of detent that allows only one "ball" in at a time like on a paintball gun.
