I know a supah valve would more than double preformance, but there is always next project!

I'm sure it would increase performance by a factor of 10
Also you didnt need to post again for that picture, could have just put it in the first post.... otherwise it looks good.

Gotta love the classics. If that's a 1" sprinkler valve you're not getting terrible performance (a few more pictures would be nice).
About your Supah valve desire: I would build a barrel sealer myself rather than by a Supah valve. Even with a 1-1/2" porting piston valve you would be getting approximately 9 times more flow than the 1" sprinkler (using SDR-21 for the barrel port).
Of course, you could build a 3" or 2-1/2" porting valve for up to 28 times more flow than the 1" sprinkler and unrestricted flow into your barrel.

So would a piston valve!
AnotherSnappedLine, did you have any problems with the file manager? Other wise you get a option to use the 'edit button' after you post.

That sprinkler valve really doesn't have enough flow for such a wide barrel, but it will be a fun launcher and I predict a lot of destroyed cans

Though it isn't a super high preformance gun(compared to others), I LOVE IT! At 100 psi it goes about 75 yards with a ton of power left! That's fine for a first.
