Hello :)
As a lot of people don´t know what to use as a pilot valve for QEV, or how to get multiple shoots out of one tank, so here is a simple way to do it.
I was making a chamber-seal multi-shoot rifle, And I had to find a simple way to make the pilot(it has to alow multi-shoot ability, so I went to a hammer valve).
So, I gathered some parts that was lying around and made my self a simple but effective pilot valve(I don´t think it can get any simpler :lol: )
The most important thing: it does work for multi-shoot, I used it to pilot my QEV, a slight hammering gives a nice burst :D .

Right now I'm not using the multi shoot ability, just trying to get more power. But I tried once, 3 shots out of that chamber, 100 psi.

Yes, but he used a qev, I'm going to use a chamber seal piston valve. Also small calibre.
