Looks like your air will be restricted. That's good for repeated shooting but bad for power.

Not a very practical design. There are easier ways to do it. Why a hammer valve and a ball valve?

1. Too much dead space
2. Bolt is overly complex
3. Make the air chamber one part (not two with a ball valve)
I would like to say though that the actual valve part looks doable with a little creativity. But, what pressure are you going to use? It will take a lot to get paintballs flying.

I'm no sure you can get multi-shot on a ssolenoid valve... Have you given thought to a three-way valve?
