1 Gallon (contains more volume, just a project name for it) is the precurser to 10 gallon my big spud gun planned in this thread

It features my palindrome valve. Its not a revolution in piston valves, but it just may be when it comes to Over the Counter high performance valves. 1 Gallon was a testing platform for this valve. This gun works great, way better than expected. Hopefully the same holds true for 10 gallon. The valve can be explained in more detail if desired, and after 10 gallon is complete I will post up CAD renderings with dimensions of both 1 gallon and 10 gallons valves so everyone can enjoy cheap, high performance piston valves.
People are probably wondering why I'm going on and on about the palindrome valve being better than the conventional, easily made piston valve. The main difference is that the barrel section of the valve (or the exit) does not extend into the T, or Cross fitting at all, which when it does, it hampers performance, creating alot of turbulance. Is this really a big deal? No if all you wanna do is chuck spuds, but if you want to be able to get the same speed you get with a piston valve with the barrel protruding into or past it, but at 10-15PSI less needed, than yea its nice. I wanted a more efficient valve for 10 gallon because I really dont want to have to pump it up to 100 PSI since it will take forever, So having greater efficiencys means I can pump it up less and get the same performance. Simple really 8)
