No, you don't need any flow meters. Sounds like you already have a pressure gauge and regulator. You will need fittings and a main valve. Then do the research on how to put it together and make it work.

If you have the imagination, time, tools and parts you should be good to go.

I usually start with the barrel, normally when I find a nice piece of pipe, ammo comes in all sizes, then it's probably what type of main valve to use and how do I trigger it? Single shot, semi-auto or full auto and how to load it/charge it will be the basis of the design. :idea:

Hahaha, glad to hear it's working well!
Be very careful with it though, marble guns are known to be lethal; in 2014 a kid killed his friend with one in Vietnam by accident when the marble veered off to the side after being fired.
