I'm sure it does, you could check the video with audacity.

10 RPS is rather optimistic...
if you want to have 10 RPS whatever you're using as your air source has to be able to deliver 10 times the chamber volume in 1 second

though if you plan to use bbs that shouldn't be a problem


Ohhh and let me expand on my previous post... if you have a 5 way valve you could theoretically have two guns in one :D
if all you need is a nice little plinker for airsoft you could use the DCV itself as the main valve

and voila you've got two guns in one and effectivelly you doubled the ROF

since valves can be stacked toghter...
...as seen here

.... you could theoretically stack two valves to get 4 times the ROF... 3 to get 6 times the ROF of one gun... and so on :wink:

Probably, assuming it has a rubber gasket. It was designed for water, so there might be slight leakage.

You still shouldn't try to disconnect it under pressure, though.

Shhh. dont want to attract any trolls :D

and would a normal QC with a check valve behind it be better for releasing under pressure?

The issue is that the mechanism binds under pressure. The ball bearings lock against the sleeve and the other part. If you manage to move them (think hammer), you will significantly wear the quick connect.

Hi I´m making a new pcp rifle, and I´m planing using a stainless steel tube as chamber, 0.75mm wall. Is it safe to use 1000 psi with it?

What diameter is the tube? CO<sub>2</sub> cylinders have a similar wall thickness and are definitely safe at that pressure.
