Latest idea

Well, ive decided upon my new project.  I think by the picture you'll get a good feel for how it works.

Everything is out of proportion, but I think youll understand the general idea.  Steps of operation:

1.)  Make sure Hybrid Push Button ASA is in the closed postion
2.)  Open up standard ASA for a few seconds.
3.)  Close standard ASA
4.)  Load paintballs into front of barrel - ill expiriment with multiple paintballs.  Im hoping to be able to fire off about 10 at a time so I can just use 10 round tubes.  It dosent need to be at 300 fps, im just hoping for a fair amount.  And yes, the barrel will be longer on the final product.
5.)  Open Hybrid ASA to fire gun.
6.)  ?????
7.)  Profit.

Im hoping this will be able to fire at decent velosities.  If you have any input into this area, id appreciate your opinion on if you think id be underpowered.  Someday, I may put a reg in place of the expansion chamber so I can control velosity somewhat.  The normal expansion chamber is there mostly just to hold air so I can discharge more air with a single shot.  I want to keep this fairly inexpensive right now, but if it works ill definitly look into the reg.  Id appreciate any input you guys have into improving this basic design and any comments if there is a different material i should be using.

Well, I wanted something like this, but I dont know where to find a holding tank.  I do have compressed air, but I do not want to spend the money for another reg.  CO2 will produce more power than compressed air will, anyways.  Anyone know of where I could find a holding chamber type thing to take the place of the expansion chamber?  More capacity would definitly help.

Okay, well, i have a preset hp crossfire 68/45, so thats not a problem.  Ill look into trying that.
