Have a look
here, it will give you an idea of the basic principles involved.
Note that for pneumatics the cooling effect which is effective for firearms and combustion launchers is not relevant, what is important is the volume into which the air has the opportunity to expand into before exiting the muzzle.

WOW thats awesome! It would be cool if you connected the bolt action to the hammer valve so you only operate the bolt.
Great Work!

thanks for the info guys! I just machined a new valve body to suit the blowgun valve internals (I own a lathe) but made a port at the rear for the air supply so I didn't have to use 10,000 amount of epoxy aha. machined my bolt and plunger too. now I just need to make my air escape route to go from the valve to the barrel, and my trigger, then seal it all up, pop it in the stock and I'm good to go!
