I have seen a lot of Animated videos on how these things work, but what I am looking for is actual QEV's and how they look installed on your rig and if they are piggy backed with others .
Maybe also a small explination on how yours work with your application.

I learn so much better through visual than anything else.

Thanks

Here's the search results for QEV under the pneumatics showcase. It will yield better results than just asking people to post them.

Yup, I imagine there's literally hundreds of cannons with QEV's. Just check out the pneumatic showcase section.

Not that many piggy back a QEV with another, most common valves would be ball valves or blow guns. It doesn't matter anyway, you can get the same performance using a ball valve as a pilot as you could using another QEV depending on the setup.

There really isn't much to it.

Three ends, barrel goes in one, chamber in the other and pilot in the third. Momentary pilots gives you the potential for semi-auto. Pop-off pilot gives you full auto.

Really??

:D


The one port at 90 degrees to the other two is always the chamber side..
The port you can open up is always pilot side.
The fixed port is barrel

In the future, just take a look in the wiki, located at the top of the page for basic questions first.
There is an abundance of info on everything spudgun related there.

If you can't find it in there or are having trouble understanding something you can always count on us..
Not that I expect you not to understand something, just offering help.
