RC Battleships
Currently my brother, his friend and I thought up an idea. We should make RC battleships. So now we are constructing something to be run from a distance, using electrically activated valves and antennae to shoot ball bearings and BBs. If I hooked up a 20 oz Co2 tank to a reg and had it on board to power all the guns would the air just flow out the barrel? I have heard people say that solenoid valves stay open once opened if there is still air in the chamber. I would have the regulator connected to a small chamber with hoses coming off to power all of the guns. I would need them to be repeaters so I could completely tear up other boats. If people could give me some advice I would gladly accept.
It's already a very popular hobby. Most games prohibit full auto due to the fact that they completely devistated the other boats and was unfair.

Ya dude, rock on man SICKNESS!This is just some drawing I did on Paint in about 30 seconds on how all the guns would work hooked up to CO2. There's nothing complicated drawn yet. And is it possible to wire an antennae into a solenoid?

- The ovals would be valves, the rectangles are the chambers, the squiggely lines are air hoses running from a small chamber that the Co2 tank and reg are connected to. This is just a rough draft.

Yeah that's probably a good idea but all I have are 2 20 oz paintball tanks. 9 Ounces are only like 10 bucks full though so I'll just buy one. Plus I'm going to build a five foot battleship with some side, back, and front guns, plus a fat 1/2" ball bearing cannon on the front. But first I gotta figure out how all this stuff works.
If you put the tank at the bottom of the boat or even under it, it will add stability as long as it's under the water line.
