I came up with this design for a valve with a trigger and shells that are loaded through the back of the gun.

1) Remove endcap and spring
2) Put shell with loaded round in back
3) Pull trigger
4) Shell moves forward releasing air from tank
5) Round is fired
6) Open endcap
7) Remove empty shell
8) Repeat

Wow, I actually don't see any problems with this design, as long as the proper o-rings and a strong enough spring is used. Not too complicated too, just the way I like 'em. :D

Re: Jakal's design, yest it would work but I agree with ant, getting it to seal will be a female lady dog of the opposite sex. Not to mention that in the time it takes you to insert a new shell, the air tank will be empty...

your end cap is going to go flying off the second the air from the chamber is released because it cannot be glued or else u wont get the ammo in so u probably need to used a threaded male and female bushing with a cap on the end :D
other than that fantastic idea! :lol:
