Hello guys! :D I am working on a new gun. I am going to be using air to power this gun. I want it to semi auto. So I will be using a hammer valve. I have drawn up an idea for a hammer valve. I want to know if this will work. I have a good hunch that this will but I just want some clarification. I will be using pvc for the air chamber and brake link for the valve.

Pretty much except that I will be using pvc as an air tank instead of a bike pump.

Also the "pin" is going to brake line so mine is a larger scale.

Edited by jrrdw, double post.

It's been made before with pvc and brake line a long while back by clemsonguy1125 and it works. It's not the best valve but it will fire a bb.

Amazon :)

You won't normally find them at your average hardware store.

Thank you now I might do that or still make a hammer valve. Now should I have a really tough spring a kinda tough spring like in the middle between tough and easy spring.

You need to start experimenting with springs, hammer weights, the amount of travel on it.

Hard to tell.

The idea is sound though.
But remember, the bigger these things get, the harder they are to knock open.

Valve
