Not quite the same thing is it though, he's using the pop-off as a pilot. The guy who had done something similar to this was Brian the brain with his
snap valve.
A pop-off on its own wouldn't really be of any use. It would have to be used as a pilot valve. Lots of people have thought about this but it's too finnicky to waste time on. At least in my opinion. Of course it is possible though.
I'm quite confident it will, it does move a lot of air - you can see the blowgun recoiling in the video - and we're talking 1/4" porting for a 6mm barrel.
The valve was purchased off eBay so is no longer listed, but it's nothing special, works just like any other pop-off only the top is threaded to allow you to adjust the spring tension. alternatively one could buy a
standard pop-off with a fixed pressure and change springs.
BTW Jack you have pretty good craftsmanship, but for me I find getting the back of the bolt alined to pop in and out of the input pipe tricky so I'm recommending this design
Good idea there but for now I'll be using the one I made
here
and it should work something like this:

hopefully this one won't explode
