I just drew this up, it is based around a backpack with 5 resevoirs, each one would have a hose for the modded valve or because of how much hose you would need, would use solonoids. I figure you could have a paintball barrel with paintball mag that holds 5 paintballs one for each resevoir, and then you just press each of the firing buttons or pull he blowgun to fire each ball, so if it was like number 1 2 3 4 5 each represented a blowgun, you would fire blowgun 1 exausting one of the 5 resevoirs and firing a paintball, another ball then drops into the barrel and you fire blowugn 2, and so on till you run out.

If you can understand what im saying, tell me what you think. I would build it, but i suck at modding sprinkler valves they always leak.

But its really big and after you fire those shots you have to pump up 5 resivoirs which will take a while.

So basically you are just making 5 different guns. That's not really semi automatic.

Where do your blowguns leak from? the 1/4" nipple I assume....

Do you drill 1/4" hole, put them in, screw them out, and then teflon and put them in?

Really nice picture, did you use PhotoShop?

If you did, damn you, nice idea....

I wish people would stop needing a better signature!

lol yea , im pretty crafty with photoshop, if u want me to draw shit for you hit me up on here pm or something , id be happy to plan anything out for you in a picture.

And yea, they leak out of where i put the threaded piece, from the drilled hole in the valve. I just resorted to a ball valve for now. Also the 3/8 inch drill bit i used, was duller then a plastic butter knife... put it this way, i had to recharge my drill twice before it went through the other end... i think i may just need a new bit , and to use a tap instead of a hose adapter for the threads. I just dont know where to find taps in home depo.

But yea hit me up il draw shit for you.

i just figured out a way to only need to use 1 scrhader valve instead of 5, so you can pump every one of them up at the same time, only it would require 5 ball valves lol...

if i was good at modding valves i would make this for myself in a heartbeat.
