What is you opinion of Polarstars new toy?

I'd go as far as to say that you can't build a gun that isn't a 3 way valve gun.

Hammer valves.

I don't think you've read my post.

I read your post.

The impression I was taking was that you were saying you needed a 3 way valve as the primary valve to do any of the things the originally posted gun was doing.

Now, I don't think you're making a meaningful point.

oh crap

did you see the chronograph 770 fps it say they will have a pressure release valve but with easy super glue your rifle could shoot that



It's decided i must buy one

[POLAND_SPUD]

you wrote

I read your post

but you responded with

Hammer valves

Even though I wrote

Even if you've got a simple BV pneumatic you still need a check valve or another ball valve to fill the chamber - so you can't say that there is just a 2 way valve

This is true even for hammer valves - first you have to fill the chamber - and again that requires a valve... so you need that one and a hammer valve

making a meaningful point

you're doing it wrong

[Hotwired]

I missed that you mentioned hammer valves.

But that was actually nothing to do with what I meant.

However re-reading it, you're talking about simplifying pneumatics as a 3-port valve.

Which was in reply to al-xg saying 3-way valves venting air was wasteful.

I picked up the wasteful bit - which you were not replying to at all despite quoting it - and mention hammer valves.

Hence the confusing reply.

I imagine they might have had the common sense to use a more sophisticated valve than that. Just off the top of my head, I can think of three ways of designing it so that jamming the pressure release would stop the whole thing working.

Now I'm confused I'm guessing you meant bobgengeskahn.

[Hotwired]

Uhhh, yes I do.




/gives up trying to make a coherent post

[bobgengeskahn]

... this has all gotten very confusing...

Its supposedly closed bolt, so I would guess a system like legion shocker;

I also believe that the price may keep this from becoming to mainstream or widely used. Many airsofters have become to used to cheap aegs to be willing to shell out for something like this.
