Looks good. I like the fill system, but why do you have a male auto-coupling on the end of your air hose? Wouldn't it be leaking everywhere?

As for what PW stands for, it stands for potable water.

Nonono, I was talking to matt. He said that his valve said it was not for air pressure. Most valves will say this, as well as pipes. I am sorry if this caused confusion, I was just trying to clarify for matt, that as long as their pressure rating meets your desired height, it doesn't matter whether they are rated for water pressure or air pressure. I was not talking about your DWV parts.

damn fine paintjob.
You might want to consider the possibility of making the ball valve spring actuated for a faster opening time, which means a little more power. just a thought

Nice paint job. I like the design. But why a ball valve?

B-E-A-utful!!!
I love the paintjob!!!
I would like to see a sprinkler valve, or mabee a burst disc!!
If you use a burst disc than you could put a spike on the bottom of your ammo so when you drop it into the barrel and it hit the disk... BOOM!!!

Thanks for the compliments guys,

ammosmoke: Sorry, for the confusion, I thought you were talking to me.

Killjoy: Yea, I have been looking at ways to make it spring-operated.

turbohacker: I've been researching burst disks a bit, and have decided that I'm going to go with them next for a more authentic mortar-like feel.

Cheers
