I used a female stabilizer from Palmers Pursuit to connect my HPA tank to my launcher and then used macroline to plum the air into the chamber. Its all rated for standard full pressure HPA tanks on paintball guns and the stabilizer lets me bring the PSI down to 100 where I wanted it. So, it might b...

LOL I actually set everything up for the first pressure test a few days ago and when I hooked up the HPA tank grease blasted out of the vent hole and got all over everything.... I took it apart and discovered there were no o-rings inside! So I sent it back and am waiting for a replacement.... But th...

I too was looking for a HPA reg to adjust down to 100-200 PSI. Listen to these other guys, they know what they are talking about. I read A LOT on here and decided for safety sake to go with the ninja tank and a palmers low pressure regulator. Between the Ninja adjusted down to 450 PSI and the palmer...

Ok I think I am now understanding the concept now, but I dont think it would work for this application because I want to be able to control how much of that 100 PSI is being put into the tank. For example I have a max distance of 150 feet to either side of me to the top far corners of the stands to ...

Very good on the design of your current gun. Can't wait to see what you have in store by using the ninja tank. I was also wanting to make one of those but i needed so much air in my chamber that one of those ninja tanks would only get me 8-10 shots. You can see my design and plans laid out in this ...

sounds good I originaly was thinking of a smaller co2 type chamber like your thinking of using so please keep your post updated. Well the plan is to now use a 48ci 3000PSI HPA ninja tank with a regulator to bring it down further to 100 psi max to fill the 3"x6" chamber between shots. Im just decidi...

Have you considered using a slide valve as a pilot instead of a blowgun? That way, you can hook the supply from your reg directly to it, effectively making your sprinkler valve semi-auto. I have not thought about that even being possible. And sitting here thinking about it im not sure I understand ...

Thank you!

Now is that spring from the handle or an internal part? And do you have a approx guess on the weight of that spring in-case I can not find a freebie?

Since you're using a paintball bottle, you might want to consider stronger construction for higher pressures, linked with a quick exhaust valve. A 3/4" QEV can be purchased relatively cheaply from eBay. This has lower flow than a sprinkler valve, but very fast opening. You can use this in conjuncti...
