Since I will have both the light polymer and the heavy brass ram on hand, I'll try both of them out
Bob, I've boon looking into some of your other threads, and I think that I saw that some of your ... |

Very interesting...
I may have to play around with both rams that I have then
I currently have a lightweight polymer ram, and I have on order a brass ram
We shall see what happens! |

Thanks for all the input everyone!
I have a few parts on order as of now, and it may take a while to complete this. Mostly going to be worked on the weekends and after I finish a prior project of s ... |

I've been wanting to do this project for a while, so I've had time to think about how things will work
If this ends up being a success (able to hunt small game), then I'll be quite happy! |

Glad to hear!
Are you running those pressures to get better efficiency, or just because it's needed to get the FPE you want (or both)?
Now I just want to find a 22ci tank and slap a ninja reg on i ... |

Wow, thanks for that info!
So it seemed like some of yall were saying it would be impossible to move the pellet with pressures below 600 fps, but according to your data, it would just be falling righ ... |

Paintball markers are designed to safely work at over 850psi pressures, such as the same for Spyders and Tippmann's which can run off of unregulated CO2
The marker that I will be modifying is specifi ... |

Well, to shoot at a safe velocity (under 300fps) it can be anywhere from about 850psi (direct pressure from tank reg) or anything as low as 150psi
Things like Spyder's and Tippmann's like unregulat ... |

Indeed you are correct that if the pellet is out the barrel, than keeping the valve open would only waste air and ruin efficiency
As for the pressure used to shoot the pellet, I think I can get a b ... |

Well, the longer I can keep the valve open, the more air I can force down the barrel, and with an electronic solenoid, I can do just that!
As for trigger pull, I was thinking about this as well, an ... |

I was also thinking that I will be able to adjust the dwell time to increase muzzle velocity of need be
While I don't have any plans for a auto loading pel ... |

Ah, thanks for the clarification!
I do intend to keep everything in safe working pressures, though the raw strength of the parts in the paintball marker I've chosen can handle well over 850 psi

Is that so?
I saw a picture on a different thread with what looked like a regular paintball cylinder
