yeah i was :D i cont rly understand what you are doing in your diagram :S, can you explain what happens when you press the trigger and ill try and draw it?

yeah i know most DIY piston valves fill from the pilot, (for example mine), this just seemed like a convenient way to get more than 1 shot :D i guess ill have to put some more time on to the planning part.


*edit*
ok well you already told me what the part will look like, so i decided to draw up another idea for you guys to look at.

im calling it an auto breach. it is connected to the chamber so when you release the trigger the breach opens. there is a spring behind this so when the chamber pressure is low, it will close. it is essentially a piston with a rod attached to it.... now that i think about it, should this be connected to the pilot as well?
