This may be a dumb question but how do you get your pump off with out letting the air vent behind the piston?

o-rinbg between the schrader ands the shock pump, which seals the connection butsn't allow the pin on the pump's female thread to physically open the swchrader's stem, meaning the schrader acts as a check valve and will be closed when the pump is removed.

Simple really, find an o'ring that is the same diameter as the valve (6mm), place this in the part that screws onto the valve.

Oh come on, it's really simple - you just need to put an o-ring or similar rubber seal between the schrader and the pump connector, in such a way that the connector's pin cannot physically touch the schrader stem.

Not this particular launcher, but I did just over 1,000 feet per second with a 6mm coaxial piston launcher, and my best results were with this burst disk pneumatic ;)

um...........
read the posts?
he did explain...
you fill it up, then you press in the tyre valve, and it shoots.
try reading before you post, and if you already have read the posts and still cant figure it out, ask a more specific question.
Do not look back, and grieve over the past, for it is gone;
Do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come;
Live life in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.
