I think this is a good idea and would most likely work, but I would just like to point out that this is very similar to something I posted here a while ago with slight variation.

Don't use a barrel, instead use some sort of nozel after the ball valve that will funnel the water. Or you could use a short piece of like 1/2" pvc for it. I don't think this will work very well because the way the bottle is sitting it will only shoot water out if aimed down.

Are you saying that when you pilot the valve it all goes out the back instead of the barrel? If so then its most likely a piston problem like carlman was leading towards.

If you find a rubber one and want it threaded just cut the rubber part off and epoxy it into a 1/4" pipe nipple.

Haha this reminds of a time when I told my friend that you could make a tazer out of a camera. Well he went and opened a camera up (not knowing at all what he was doing of course) and started ripping stuff to see how it worked. I told him that he was going to shock himself but he just laughed and co...

Thanks for the responses guys. I will replace the washer for a new one and see how it goes. But if that doesn't work then I will buy an off the shelf check valve like Alihisgreat suggested. I would like to stay away from that because they can get a little pricey though.

Well since its 2" pipe 1 1/4" endcaps fit pretty good. Basically anything that will fit, for example MrCrowley used a deoderent can i believe?

Well it is not the floating o-ring that is the problem believe me I checked that. Like you said air is bleeding back into the compression cylinder. I'm not sure if this could be the problem but the washer that is epoxied into the fitting at the bottom is a little rusted and maybe it's not getting a ...

Find a pill bottle that fits the pipe and fill it with flour. Then if you shoot it at a solid target, it makes a giant white cloud! :lol: It looks really cool too.
