Cheap BB launching device - valve

[Necrosis]

I am looking for advice on this really, I'd like to make a cheap BB launching device that's either semi automatic or bolt action.

But the mind boggling complexity of the valves I can think of would make this all but cheap.I have about a 10 dollar budget for the valve.

Thanks in advance.

you could use a blowgun as the valve? or you could make a piston?

edit: look at ant's guns because they are cheap and one is semi-auto (they are in BBMG showcase)

Making some more progress...

Merged:

That stacked valve looks sweet.

To the drawing board! (wich is the pc so i don't really have to move..)

*edit*

Cool it would seem that Ant is a fellow Dutchman.


Please don't tripple post.

Making a photorealistic render takes a few dozens of hours of computing alone

that solidworks thing looks pretty cool, it must take a while to put in all the fittings and stuff though.. and btw your design looks pretty cool

Necrosis: What are you going to use for the valve?

You might see if you can find a junked washing machine and steel the water inlet control valve(s) from it. You might also look for the water control valve from a dishwasher or Frig ice maker.

I made a BBMG with this type of valve;

I got mine from a surplus place, it is an electrically activated diaphram valve. I paid $4.50.

The throat (3/8") is too small for a typical spudgun but more than big enough for a BB gun.

Using 36" of 1/4" brake line it'll launch multiple 0.17" BBs at ~350 FPS. With a better barrel, or an actual chamber, it'll probably do a lot better.

i think he is going to use an ant style homemade valve.

Yeah, I have access to a lathe though, so I will actually make a condor style valve now, inline in stead of under.
