Why dont you make a piston from moulded hot glue? It works for BC.

It's made from a room deodorant can cut in half with tape to make it fit and some bog to make the concave face flat wiht neoprene to make it seal well.

I used a aresol can which was cut in half it was verylight and worked for a few shots but it couldnt take tomany shots and it got bent and stuck in the pilot area so i re-made a piston out of hot glue sticks melted in a tin over a low flame and pured it into a mould its a little heavy but still works very well.

I remade the whole unit added barrel support a slight paintjob shotend the barrel and lost the sprinkler valve and BtB is right the ball vavles work fine to pilot the piston.
