New valve?

[jon_89]

I found this http://www.instructables.com/id/Airgun- ... ase-Valve/. Has anybody seen or used a valve like this. It seems pretty simple.

Been posted twice before

[jon_89]

what forum are they in?i havent seen them before.

[MrCrowley]

Not sure, but I know atleast the original topic is still on the boards, the second one may of been deleted because it was within days of the first one. I figured this topic is a month or two after the last one so there may be new discussion about the valve.

Lol, I commented on that (blugyblug)
its actually really popular for some reason and its not really that great.

The valve is almost identical to a Nelson based paintball marker. Usable, but not new.

[jon_89]

ok so its not new. i have never seen it before. but why is it not really good.

[Hubb]

I think he's referring to the flow rate. It just doesn't have it compared to a piston valve. But this has more qualities than just massive air flow. There is a reason it's really popular. I actually have plans to use this type of valve on one of my future projects.

[jon_89]

can it be used on a multi shot gun?

[Hubb]

That's it's main purpose. See the link I posted above for more detail on how it works.

[jon_89]

so the only bad part is the flow rate?

[Hubb]

But it's not that bad. In my opinion, it's an awesome valve.

This valve would be really easy to make larger using different parts of course...

[jon_89]

i think i will use it for a small caliber high pressure dart gun.

It uses a similar valve as what I use on my guns:

I use the barrel as a hammer.
