Looks like it will hold just pls dont use this in paintball. It is unregulated and it would be unweldy in the brush. But hey on a scale of 1-10, 1 being do right junk, 5 being average, and 10 being increadable. I would give you a 6.5

Thats pretty cool, but I think you should get a bigger chamber. Or cut off some of the barrel.
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.
Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

i think i should cut off some of barrel aswell. and why only 6.5. for me (not smart) it was difficult to make valve as complex as it is, it would definatly be a 7. and 8 if it were painted.

Screw aesthetics all together. If it works, it works.

Good job mate :)

Which gun is this for you? Third? Great job on the piston/diaphragm valve, if so, it's really compact and well done.
