Aussie sprinkler valves - Best to get.

I'm looking to make a nice new marble plinker that I can take to my spare block at Macleay Island for a bit of fun. I've gotta make the gun unscrewable so I can fit in in a bag so I can take it over on the ferry.
As far as sprinkler valves go, are there any that are better then others? E.g better made, or have higher flow?
...or is a sprinkler valve, a sprinkler valve?
Cheers in advance,
Mitch.

Haha thanks alot for that Elite
. Ehhh as much as I come up with new designs, I make probably a gun every 3 months, or mod an old one to make it better. If not, I just sit back and procrastinate...
.
I might get an el' cheapo sprinker valve and make a custom phram' like what Noname did for his. Might be the best way to go.
Because I'm used to working with small bore pain in the arse pistons, a sprinker valve might be a nice alternative for a change

Yeah, if you do noname's mod to the sprinkler you will get very good performance and flow, probably similar to a Q.E.V.,
good luck!

Might be the best way concidering QEV's are so hard and dear to get in the land of AUS. I'm curious to know, I wonder if Noname's modded valve has flow like an average joe piston valve...Hmmm..

Just use the sprinkler valves you buy from bunnings, good flow perfect seal etc etc....
