That ain't how a blowgun works. They're inline.

300 fps is a velocity, not a level of power.

What projectiles, barrel length, chamber size and air pressure do you intend to use, and how many shots do you expect to get per fill?

I forgot to add this, but there should be a hose connecting the air chamber to the blow gun[/img]

No there shouldn't be. That would be disasterous.

If your chamber is big enough, a quick pull of the blowgun trigger won't let out all the air, wyz ;)

Yes that's all it is, just majorly over-engineered :D

Well yes, if a 2l tank at 100psi for 5 shots it's ok for you...
I have posted a simple way about connecting a smal ball valve to the blowgun trigger to mechanically making a semi valve system, you can try it out.

Is that a reference to my PCP :D
That thing gets over 30 shots on 300 psi (down to 150 psi)

Lol of course not, it was a personal experience I had in the beginning of airguning. For now your pcp it's still more advanced than my, my still need the hammer housing to be functional.

Well school is keeping me really busy lately :(
But won't take too much for me to make it to shot in full power, but compare power would be hard, I use airsoft bbs, not pellets. They are lighter and pellets are pointed. But I did managed to have more power with my semi at 300psi against my friend's .144 cal spring pellet, he used .42g pointed pellet and me with .40g bb

Wyz, mine is airsoft caliber :)

Sag, get a high pressure tank, hook that up to a blowgun, add a barrel and loading mech, and that's semi auto. Doesn't get any simpler. Yes I know that is basically what you originally proposed in this thread :D
