 Variant 2 of my launcher. Still some work to do on the rear, i don't want it as tall. I also didn't feel like drawing a grip on it yet. Edited by The Guy - 06 April 2008 at 11:27pm |

Hhere are the shoulder fire designs.
  And here is a closeup of the valve so you can see how it works. The port where the solenoid was is plugged with JB weld. Instead, the valve opens as soon as you equalize the pressure with the blowgun.

Not to bad, I want better explanation of the valve though, it sounds interesting.

Nerf rounds or paint grenades. I suppose the V2 could launch a 10-15 round cluster of paintballs.

Its a sprinkler valve. Rather than the Solenoid slowly opening the valve, I used the blowgun.
It uses a diaphragm wih a small hole in it. When the pressure is equalized on te top and inlet of the valve, a spring holds the valve closed. When the pressure is rapidly released on the top of the valve, via the blowgun, the force of the inlet pressure pushes the valve open. |
