Too bad ballbearings are so expensive.
Snapvalve it is...

this is ohh you know!! yes you NEED a video with sound! try to shoot a phonebook with it! that will amaze me

[MrCrowley]

I feel sorry for anyone who attempts to rob your house in the near future

Very nice once again, love the snapvalve, what is it with European spudders and high pressure

I mean Galfisk, JSR and you would make one helluva team.

Great Stuff, got a name for the baby yet?

How about the " Hot Damn " A Hot Death rAy MachiNe gun.

[Isomer]

wow, well done...thats about all i can put into words

[Skywalker]

I say, could you draw up a quick diagram of the internals of that snap valve? I think that would help JSR, Hotwired, and Rag's work on their auto-piston ideas (we've basically been debating how to make a gun for which a pop-off style valve or some permutation of it is the primary firing valve).

Edit: yeah, I meant to say, I love that gun! Definitely looking forward to seeing you put it through its paces.

I'm literally talking about a baby, he said he had a baby on the way.

Congrats btw.

"Hey Hot Damn, your mother said get your butt inside"

All the best with the new addition Brian.

Hoooooolllyy Crap. My jaw is still kinda loose! The bolt is ingenious, I WILL steal that for my next gun. The pop off is ingenious, but I don't get how it works!

I was goint to make a paintball gun very similar to this, and I am not sure what to do for the QEV actuating valve, as it will run off a high flow regulated Co2 bottle. The pilot volume would fill nearly as fast as it would empty, meaning lots of airloss. I slide valve is also not an option because of airloss. Anyone have a good link for an affordable 3-way?

[POLAND_SPUD]

lol my daughter is 8 months old so let say I have some experience.... BtB you ain't gonna like the way your life is going to change after that

again it is a very nice gun... I really like it looks so.... hmmm... modern... post more pics or a video....

could you give the ID of your barrel and tell what is the diameter of marbles you use ? I can't find the size that can fit good in 1/2

BTW I just got my QEV.... it's all shiny and looks so cool.... I am gonna try building my semiauto gun soon

Hailfire753 wait first of all what do you mean a slide valve or a sleeve valve ? It think you made a spelling mistake... becasue AFAIK slide valves are use on steam engines so you probably ment a sleeve valve.... right ?
So I am assuming you meant that a sleeve valve is wasting air ? AFAIK the sleeve valve blocks the air input while wenting the other side/pilot valve......

[brogdenlaxmiddie]

just wanted to say, that your workspace is beastly! ( in a good way)

[Hailfire753]

Yeash, sleeve valve. Called it a slide valve because of clide's gun.

Looking good, would love to see a video!

Ditto - though from the way he described it, it sounds very similar to the designs we've come up with so far.

[Brian the brain]

Similar problem, similar solutions.
Btw, I already have a 5 year old son. Will work on a diagram later..THanks for all the replies!
