do u think adding a spring to the piston valve to reseal it would work to make it semi
No. You don't need a spring to make a piston valve semi-auto. You are clearly misunderstanding or not understanding at all how piston valves work.

You made a custom pilot valve though. In most cases, adding a spring will only decerease power.

Take two lengths of wood, and place one on top of the other. Take one hinge, and affix it into end of said wood so that the two are hinged around their ends. Take two cupboard handles, and affix one to the outside of each piece of wood.

Your result should look something like this:

This very simple build can be used to easily scare away squirrels. You can either make loud noises by bringing the two halves together hard, or you can throw it at them. Your choice.

Yeah, it's not a spudgun, but I believe in efficient and practical solutions to problems.

If you have a plinking problem, I suggest you deal with it separately.
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?
