: Me and my friend are planning on making our own gun. : So far our designs are either an pneumatic design (using solenoids to work the valves) or a weird no-bolt electro (again usig solenoids). : The marker itself is a very basic design. A grip frame folds 1(or 2, don't know yet) 9 volt batteries which are connected to an electric valve, which is in turn connected to a large gas reservoir, which is connected to a constant air tank. : The electro-pneumatic version has a 3-way exaust valve attatched to the trigger, and a ram which has a bolt in the breech. Otherwise it has the same features as the above gun. (you'll notice it works like an autococker...whoops, now Bud can sue me for using his name, i mean an automatic cocking pump) : Im telling you this because i need ideas for the gun, and a name. What brand and model electric valve are you using? I've looked high and low and not found one suitable, that couild handle the pressure and flow rate to fire a paintball out of a paintgun. See you on the field, -Bill Mills
