ok so I am getting the parts for this gun in 4 days and the gun should be done on that day
my design basicaly i have a ball valve to fill the primary chamber from my 800 psi air tank. Then I have a second ball valve which I open to fill the secondary chamber the air goes through a regulator the reduce the pressure to 90 psi then because I have yet to come across a sprinkler valve I am using a spring loaded ball valve as my main valve the loading system is bolt action.
what do you think?????

Sprinkler valves are available in Aussie btw.
Just ask some of the other members, most get them from bunnings I think.

ball valves open real slow even with a spring, In bunnings the sprinkler valves are in the retic section in big wooden tubs usually, or try a sprinkler shop like 'total eden' or 'hugall and hoyle'
goodluck

thanks now I just have to get a ride to the bunnings at thornleigh to get one
Actualy the sprinkler valve would make it easier to fire one handed which was my idea for this gunif I have a 15cm long and 12mm round secondary chamber at 90psi and then a 10mm barrel what sort of range do you think that will get?//

IF you want great performance, yea sprinklers good, QEV is better if you can do it. Mcmaster has them
