I seen a lot of people making serviceable coaxial but i dont understand how...

If i was using male and female adapter, there will be a lot of dead space behind the piston

HOW?

look at the first piston valve the coaxial

It really helps to draw a diagram of things like this, then ask yourself what exactly the problem is.

Just make sure you can unscrew the backside or just the whole chamber.

on my copper coax i just slodered a 28mm to 1" threaded coupler then put a 1" to 1/2" threaded bushing on the back... then a 1/2" QEV... its not hard, you just have to think about it a little

Then make the piston longer or have a larger bumper to fill up that dead space.

I dont need to know how to make a coaxial, i already maked one!

And i finded how:

I will cut it in two and place an male and female adapter .

Seems like no one even considers <a href="http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/extreme ... phragms</a> anymore.

Diaphagms are just a hassle in my opinion. It is difficult to build a cannon with a diaphragm that doesn't need to be reset every few shots. Furthermore, the flow they provide isn't tremendous. Piston valves are more reliable and have greater flow. They are slightly more difficult to make however (slightly).

I managed to nail it first try without any hassle at all; I guess it was just chance. I continued to use the same method as I did the first time and have never screwed up on one.

Reliability relies on the builder of any homemade valve.

Diaphragms only need to be a circle of rubber, whereas pistons require at least a sealing face along with some kind of "body" and possibly lubricant. My pistons have never worked for more than a year or so though; probably because I make them out of just random fittings and junk in my workshop.

Velocity, don't think I'm arguing just to argue; I'm trying to open the possibility of a diaphragm to Demon.
