QEV is this needed
Posted: Fri Jun 06, 2014 11:30 am
I currently have made an airgun, just a basic air tank - slide valve - QEV - barrel, with a small cylinder the approx volume of barrel and space in QEV.
It is not fully assembled but gives an idea of what I am using. Being such a beginner at all this I have a question for all the knowlegable amongst you, I plan on a Mk2 using a better QEV and was planing on using a button valve/blow gun to actuate the QEV,, my question is, do I still NEED a second cylinder coming from the QEV and is there any bemnefit /disadvantage? or do I just blank this port.
I have ordered a 3000psi 62cu paintball cylinder as my air source as 130psi just wasn't cutting it. I also have the connector that attaches to the gun, just waiting on the line that connects the 2. The regulator on the tank regulates to 800psi, I have seen a Ninja SLO but it seems trese will only fit the 4500 bottles. I will have a gaiuge on the gun so can anyone see a problem using this setup and then just stop filling at maybe 250-300psi? I understand that air regulated to 250 or 300 is better giving more consistency. But as I will tend to be using the gun detached from the tank having a regulator on the tank won't help me, if I used the fun comnnected or could have a small regulator on the gun then that would be ddifferent.
If it turns out the SLO regulator fits the 3000 bottles I will get one, but I don't think they will from what I have been told.
Sorry for all the waffle, what I really want to know is do I still use a secondarY tank on the QEV or just blank the socket off when using a trigger gun rather than a slide valve?
Many thanks Ian
