Clearly it's slightly smaller ;)

On my one the marble can fall through but the piston only opens 5 or so mm so the marble can't go right through that and the QEV is 180* to the barrel.

Ok, but is there a possibility of the ammo get stucked? if i wanted the qev hole same diameter, would the bolt load the ammo without problems? will it need to be air loaded to be fast enough or a spring could do the job? i dont like the idea of restricting the flow, thats why i m asking... Thanks!!

probably not but what size QEV? and what ammo? most QEVs have very under sized ports i re made my ones to get better flow.

15,555.. steel marbles, barrel 16mmID and qev im using a 1´´ tee and a 1/2 pipe (16mmID) seat. piston is 2.7mm diameter. as long as my pvc is rated just for 100psi, im going to make a pvc prototype and then machine a inox block with qev, reload, dcv... , so i need to know exactly what to do before doing (it will be expensive to machine the block).

Hey quick question. Is it possible to pull the internals out of a quick disconnect? (Not quick connect...)

What's the difference between a quick connect and quick disconnect anyway? :P

So the typical air compressor ones are quick connects? They're easy to disconnect as well...

Fück, I don't know. You're not having me on are you? I use the terms interchangeably and have no idea which ones I have if there is actually a difference between the two :D

Well, the QD I have has no way of being unscrewed that I can see, and I don't want to take a hack saw to it either.

:roll: Well I just tried disassembling it, and it won't budge. It won't seem to come apart.

Edit, went back to the quick connect thread and saw marks how to. I tried finding the retaining ring, but the only one I found is under the ring about 2mm in, and I have bent 2 flat head screw drivers trying to get it out.

Edit number 2. I realized that the inner spring was actually bent a bit, so I decided to smash the shit out of it with a hammer and a nail. I ended up smashing out the check mechanism, so now its just the disconnect with no check valve.

you should be able to unscrew it in the middle like it did for my prototype ballistic knife.
