you can afford to have a smaller chamber, but if you keep those dimensions you should have a reasonably powerful cannon

does a paintball fit into 15mm pipe?! I dont think it does, but m&m's would work then i guess. Otherwise the progress sounds pretty good. How did you modify the ball valve though?

Hi,
I think most people here would say the chamber is too large for the barrel. It's a 2.7:1 ratio.
Can you fix a long, strong spring to open the valve quickly? Or a torsion spring in some way? Then it might get quite good.
Regards
Soren

Modding a sprinkler valve would be easier and mroe effective.
