I don't know about you guys, but I think this is a pretty frickin awesome valve!!!
Frickin awesome valve
Maybe perhaps it could be modded to make a valve of Godliness?

A big check valve?
Ah yes, it is a check valve, but it probable could have a tab put in front of the gate to keep it from opening. Thread in some sort of thing, turn it, and BAM! it opens.

A four inch valve would be sick!
It's hard to soar with eagles when you're working with turkeys.
On the ebay thing it says that it actually weight 14lbs. I wonder if the 250 is referring to psi?

it doesnt mater if its air or water, the pressure is still the same.

That would be the most useless addition to any spudgun i think. It is just a big heavy checkvalve to stop water flowing backwards in large industrial applications. I make flapper valves (another term for it) and they suck in general.

I think that rigging it to open after a stop is removed would be pretty impractical, because:
1.) You would have to have a pretty strong stop, especially if there is only one.
2.) When securing the stop into place, you would have to push the valve in an equal force to what it will be put under during pressurization, otherwise it may leak. In other words, you would have to press the flapper against the sealing face on the inside with 400pi (~1200) pounds of force before locking the thing in place, if you are planning on using the cannon at 100 PSI.
3.) Any stop you use has the weakness of getting smaller as you retract it, which will most probably cause it to break. Depending on how thick and what material, this could damage the valve as well.

A solenoid that can deal with the force acting on a 4" hinged disk?
