The electric solenoid in the Rainbirds are designed to open very slowly. I already tried drilling out the ports and made it NON functional.
I personally know some guys that say they will work. They have LONG barrels so Opening Slow is fast enough to get it up to speed.
My short barrel just wouldn't work at all with the electric solenoid. Even with the pneumatic trigger dump, I barely get 200 fps out of it at 140 psi.
A 3/4 inch pipe thread goes right into that solenoid hole. Thread pitch is right but not tapered so it won't seal. Epoxied it in to seal it, Drilled out the plugged port (don't try bigger diameter port- no wall thickness) and just screwed in a air gun valve to discharge the diaphragm.
