Nice. Judging by the guide rod, I'd say it's an inlet (chamber) sealing valve. It would definitely benefit more from a larger pilot valve than a similarly dimensioned outlet (barrel) sealing valve, in my humble opinion.

It does seem like you're catching more than your share doesn't it.
I think it's fine. It fits in the boot of your car, and it works.
Can't have any fun with it if you can't get the damn thing out of the house, now can you?
I seem to remember this being a hobby,...aren't hobbys supposed to be fun?
Good job! :thumbleft: :thumbleft:

Out of curiosity, how is it in terms of noise? I would imagine that with a 2 - 2.5" barrel it isn't too loud, everyone in the thread seems to have forgotten than smaller chambers mean more efficient and quieter launchers.

its actually rather quiet compared to my 1.5" porter piston gun. Its quiet enough that i can manage a couple of shots in suburbia and not get noise complaints lol i will record a new vid with sound soon enough
