How does a modified sprinkler valve work? Soon I'm going to make a pneumatic gun. What works better modified or un-modified. Also how does a modified one work. And also Is it physiscaly hard to pull the triger or what ever it is?

Do some research and find out for yourself. I'll bet you ten bucks you can search less than 15 minutes and answer all of your questions.

I'm feeling generous and will post a simple explanation. You have pressureized air on both sides of the diapragm. When you open the blowgun valve, the air on the top is released, and the valved opens upward, letting the air move into the barrel. I think gort has a neat little .gif of that.

No, it is not hard at all. Have you ever messed with blowguns at a hardware store? The air makes no difference on how hard it is to operate.

Next time, research!

Thank's for that I looked around for about 20 minutes and found nothing.

It took me less than 10 seconds to find the page relating to modifying valves on the wiki, go to the pneumatic section and click on modifying valves.
