basicly the de-compression pulls the piston back faster along with how it is normaly fired.i came up with it in study hall and wrote it down befor i forgot so think it would work?

You do realize you would get better preformance or efficiency if you just put the blowgun on the sprinkler valve. This is impractial for what you want to use it for. You should make a vacume cannon which can suck holes out of 3/4 inch plywood.
Forever dreaming...

i Have a blow gun on top of the sprinkler valve. it's a golden brown color if u didn't look at the key. anywho i know that helps but once the sprinkle valve is opened wouldn't a sucking on the opisite side of the pushing help move it back much faster?

I think it was a nice brainexercise. Nice thinking. But in reality it wouldn't mather i gues. With the sprinkler valve, the pressure is gone in notime, since the piston chamber is very small (or should be)

But I like the concept. Sure it will work
