That trigger mechanism is great, that i can wrap my head around...but i need the trigger for semi-auto so it returns.

Would i be better off making the pistol cannons single shot bolt action?

Hmm...my my bolt action seems very appealing right now...maybe i've automatically steered away from bolt action because i've had bolt action for years..but for a single shot bolt action cannon pistol...would pack quite a punch?

In that case you need to look at paintball gun designs, a little more complex...

Sophisticated mechanism, and apart from this beautiful!

I think i'll be going for bolt action single shot...semi-auto trigger mechanism is way over my head.

It's a matter of time. It seems that things go from simple to more complicated in time.

Yeah i thought to myself start simple then get crazy later on.

Nice...was thinking of just a single shot breech load to start with.

If only the valve on the qev didn't need to be pushed in instead of out..life would be so much easier.

Whilst looking for a gauge and regulator today i noticed this and wanted to ask if it had any potential?

Its very expensive, but the pressure rating caught my eye..


Of course power pistol has a catchy name also. 8)

6000psi delivery pressure.

I bought something much cheaper, even if its no good the cylinder will be great to use.
I thought for a bolt action it would or might be a good start?

6000psi delivery pressure.

...is about stock for a grease gun, which works by moving a very small amount of incompressible fluid.

Thank you, i've never seen them before, just thought it might have some use.

It made sense in 1944...

Hi everyone...this is my dumbest question yet...but what exactly does Coaxial mean..?

having a common axis. In spud gun terms the barrel is inside the chamber

Inside the chamber..? Wow thats very interesting...what are the benefits of such a design..compactness..?

Would the turbulence from the air chamber vibrate the barrel at all?
