<div align="center">The Black Mamba

I've completed my black iron cannon, and dubbed it the black mamba, not only because it's black iron, but also because I'm painting it flat black. some components in the back are not painted, that's because when i can I'm going to replace the tee with a cross so i can have a gauge port. the chambers are 4 sections of 5 1/2" long 3/4" black iron with couplings. the valve is a deltrol 3/4" quick exhaust valve actuated by a blowgun and filled by a male quick connect. the barrel is an 18" section of 1/2" black iron. it also has a BB gun barrel, and a 3/4" cpvc bolt action sniper rifle barrel.

wouldnt that exhaust when you removed the air source?
or is it one of those valves that automaticly closees?

EDIT: thx drac i couldnt tell if there was a ball valve on the qiik connect because of the angle of the picture

Nope, spudshot has a ball valve on his airline, so the valve doesnt fire. All quick exhaust valves vent when you remove the air source, so we remedy through the use of ball valves, or inline check valves.
