well, i wouldnt need to put in much more detail for that one, just a schrader attached to a T, with the bottome of the T going to the blogun, and the left side going to the schrader.
and i take it that you dont want info on a stock for the third one? thats (semi) good, cause i actually need to stop procrastinating, and do my homework.

lol ok....one more question...where would my psi guage be???

ums, anywhere, chamber, pilot...not the barrel
ya, you could have it tapped into the chamber, or have it on the pilot assembly. i would suggest using a co2 setup or a compressor for qev's. i personally havent used them but ive heard that they take some fast pumping to get them to seal with a bike pump.
EDIT: ok, ive found one link showing the internals of the
QEV.

that wont fill it, it has to be filled from the pilot side, not the chamber side. and if you have a compressor i would go with a quick connect instead of a schrader.

wait do u have a drawing of where the schrader should go...im confused..
ok i think i get what u mean but coul i fill it through the blowgun??? or does there have to be a schrader..well anyway just look at my post and picture it the other way around...guage where valve is and valve where guage is problem solved...right??? be back after next commercial

i was watching mythbusters now im watching south park....sorry for long wait.. i was helping my mom
EDIT:ooo and if you use a quick dis connect does it fill faster??? wont that look akward with a quick disconnect..it might look better than a mess of reducers though...post now or in the morning well c ya...and i will get all the parts tomorrow (hopefully) except for the qev and psi guage...so till then c ya..

its ok. i do that all the time.
and incase your wondering the gold is brass fittings tapped into a plug in the T
EDIT: and yes, the quick connect will fill it faster, but youll want a female one hooked up, and then a male-ballvalve-male setup to connect to your female quick connect on the compressor

How did you connect that elbow to the fire extinguisher?
Im serious,Don't yell at me, why can't you tell? I've made some threads by using a kitchen tap but its not reliable past 120psi. I used two FE's on my gun here:

But I had to get them welded.

actually, i have no idea, and i would rather like to know. it may be some special fire extinguisher

Maybe he bashed the s-hit out of the elbow over the FE, somehow sealed it and leak proofed it and screwed a few scrwes in

ok well im up now and ill tell u how i got that elbow on....ok first i got a little 1/2 adapter...it fit into the hole put not good enough for a seal...so i pounded it in and it only went half way....the elbow that is on the wont work anymore...there is a big a$$ slit in it and i blew into it and it leaked like crazy....i just tapped it on with a hammer because it was like 2 mm biger than the 1/2 and it fit prefectly and i was gonna solder it...but then it broke as i said...peice o crap..so now as u see in my newer designs i am using a half in tee....idk if u noticed im just clarifying
EDIT: so basically it was a ghetto fitting.....then it broke....damn......

I used it on my very first FE gun here:

Which adapted to this:

Because two FE's are so heavy and put alot of strain on the modded fittings I decided to get the FE's welded to some galv fittings.
