There's a lot of flow rates to balance in this equation, getting it right could take some trial and error.

I used a similar system in my cartridge fed pneumatic prototype:

Even though the filling hole was tiny, air still leaked through the barrel as the piston didn't reseal properly. I had to restrict the filling supply to tiny levels for the pilot volume to pressurise. A less tight fitting piston and larger chamber would probably have solved the problem, but being epoxy construction, not that easy to fiddle with the internals once you've built it.

Damn that would be annoying you damned sadist Refers to current avatar. The fact you cannot fiddle would suck. I like your design very much and give kudos to anyone with the balls to build one :D
