Use a better valve balls are so inefficient.
Ball valves are the cheapest though. The next step up is solenoids, which are a bit more complicated and expensive.

The arms are important for quick opening on the balloon launcher, and are more comfortable to use for the soaker. I believe they would be useful for nerfing as well if a solenoid valve is unavailable, due to the faster opening time which allows more air to kick in at the dart at once.
Since I've never tried this on darts, I can't be sure on how it'll work, but the design concepts for water balloon launchers are very similar, from what I've seen. To create one, you'll need a stick of PVC, some bolts and nuts, and a drill.
Again, this is just supposed to be a cheaper alternative to solenoids and other valves, but you should probably use those if possible. Perhaps yet another possibility is to build a pull valve, where a piston blocks a hole, and the user pulls the piston open to release the air.

By the way, most PVC ball valves are easy to open. It's just the CPVC's.

Search next time. What you're looking for is called a "low-torque" ball valve, and are easily found on the interwebs. Also, this is a necro, if that means anything to anyone.

Goodbye for 3 months.don't do anything it will mess it up, some ball valves are just sticky at first it will get easier.
Memorize the board rules while you're gone.
