at that momnt i have ball valve on my rifle
i want to biuld a piston valve (Barrel Sealing) so i have some questions
1. win i open the ball valve the fastest i colud , can this be like piston valve when i releaseing the air??
2. if piston valve performance better ,how much i can get projectile speed at 700 psi then a ball valve? (ammo 8mm 3 grams)
lits say how much faster a piston valve from a ball valve that i open it fastest i colud
sorry for my english grammar

well if you want to calculate projectile speeds, download GGDT (google search GGDT because i can't be btohered to get a link

)
and a piston valve (made well) should always be better than a ball valve...
edit: mistake pimpman pointed out

I think you meant to say
ball valve, rather then
piston valve?
1 - Yes, I believe it is of the general consensus that piston valves perform better over ball valves.
2 - Like everyone has suggested try plugging your numbers into GGDT.

thanks all
i have ggdt but the problem is that she dont have aball valve in her mneu
and what i want to know ,how much faster a piston valve can be if i open the ball valve fastet i could, 5 times ,10 times ,20 times faster ??
thank you

well if you make the piston valve well i would have thought that there would be a noticable increase in performance if not a substantial increase
(and accuracy would increase as a side effect of not having to turn the ball valve so fast

)
