i was wondering how you built the revolver and how you get mulit shots with only filling the tank once, i have been workning one (used a sprinker valve) it works but lets all the air out and you can only get on shot. what type of valve did you use?

[robself705]

We built a custom gate valve that is attatched to a pneumatic piston. We can open and close it within milliseconds. The revolver is made out of laser cut acrylic.

VERY nice.

We made a breach loaded version a few years back and I have been itching to make a revolver style ever since!

I think ours could probably out-shoot yours though because we used a 20lb compressed co2 tank for our firing.

if you ever redo it I HIGHLY recomend the SGTC Supah-Valve

Thanks. The shot in there is only a test shot at 20 psi. We usually do around 50. It goes about 200 feet then.

were making one for our team during this years off season, we were going to charge a 5 or 10 gallon tank with compressed air and run off of that. was 4 compressors enough to charge it up to 60 psi? how long did it take to charge? how much battery life did you have? how many shots?

the distance we get is good for our purposes, we had to turn the pressure down from 60 psi to 40 psi because it was still hurting to catch the tshirts from across the gym. we've never shot it at it's full pressure before.
