hey man go to bunning and look in irrigation you will find the solinoied sprinkler valves there if you cant find them ask someone to help you once you have found them there is a valve that cost around $20 get that one it works well and im pretty sure it can be modded. Also if you do want to mod your valve go to where you buy all the power tools and ask someone around there to show you where the compressor acessories are you will find blowguns and all the other little peices you need to mod the valve are there.

Dont get your valve from mcmaster im sure they have great valves but they are more expensive if you add on shiping. :(

hope you understand

hey man you dont need anyone to build the gun with just search around find ideas you like and put a gun together yourself its not to hard and once you have done it a few times you know how they work and you can make cannons out of about anything. :D :D good luck
