I think I need a check valve.

lol fail
Is that a schrader or a presta? Is the problem in your pump head?

More like win! A what looks to be 3/4 piston valve that can be piltoted by a schrader valve

Yup, 3/4" porting valve, 1" tee. Props to Gippeto for the one-way o-ring idea.
I just slapped a ball valve on there for now and have resumed work on the rest of the launcher.

nice work Mark, looking forward to the finished item and damage pics/vids hectmarr wrote:You have to make many weapons, because this field is long and short life
Does the one-way o-ring idea allow the compressed pilot volume to flow back to the chamber side of the valve when the valve opens?

Good question...I don't know for certain.saefroch wrote:Does the one-way o-ring idea allow the compressed pilot volume to flow back to the chamber side of the valve when the valve opens?
It (the o-ring check) opens/closes in response to differential pressure, so I would THINK it should allow for decompressing the pilot if the chamber pressure was lower than pilot volume pressure.
But...
A decent sized pilot valve should not allow the recompression in the first place.

I guess the point here would also be the amount of flow around the piston with the o-ring in the "open" position. It's not much, so I doubt the flow of air required for the trapped pilot volume to have no effect on the opening of the piston would far exceed the amount of air able to get through the "o-ring check".
Another way to negate this (besides a larger pilot valve) is to have a smaller difference in piston OD and barrel seat OD, requiring a lower pilot pressure before the piston begins to open in the first place.
So like Gippeto said, I wouldn't rely on the tiny notch in your o-ring groove to prevent piston bounce.

I was just interested, because I know that I've piloted my special piston with an internal check valve (shameless self-promotion 
) by just cracking open the pilot valve and letting the pressure drop slooowwwwwllllllyyyyyyyyyy, which is quite scary because it's hard to know when it's going to go off. But my point is that while I have no doubt you could do that with any really good piston valve, one with a low-cracking pressure check valve has very little likelihood of bouncing, because it vents the compressed pilot volume to the chamber.
