well at nerf haven (here) they have a good design for 2 valves, one thats semi auto and one thets single shot, so if your making an auto gun like you said, use the semi auto valve

Cmon ziggy, your smart, design your own...Ill help too, but its gonna be tough to get the right valve....

Ok ziggy, Im pretty sure I know why it leaks...Did you use pvc glue, because for a homemade like that, your gonna need plumbers goop. Dont use a ball valve, they have no accuracy and arent practical. If zero's valves dont seem durable its the construction, not the design, His designs are almost excaclty like a 2k valve.

Ziggy, your too obsessed with making a homemade. Read my Blastfire loser Rifle post. As you can see, Im in the process of making a semi auto rifle with high accuracy and capability of shooting 100 feet, I just need to get in touch with steven, he had a broken bf last war, remember? Hope he hasnt modded it.

Nerf is modding as well as homemades, with moddign though, you have most of the parts you need, and are almost gaurenteed they are in working condition.

You need to mod a gun...Wait till this years line comes out and Ill see If i can show you how to generally do a mod...I just find it funny that before you mod a gun youve built a homemade..

To learn, just look at everyone elses homemades, and ask questions. Study diagrams and try fixing your own HM.

you can
1)make a semi auto with a trigger assembly that constantly sets of the semi auto valve when you hold the trigger
2)Electronicly do it somehow
3)spend days thinking of a full-auto valve.

well, you would need a clip or rotary system thta would change darts in exact sync with the valve. Also, you would want a pulsing effect, so to speak, as to not waste much pressure by having a constant pressure system fire even while the dart is aligning, i.e. it would not blow air while the clip or rotary system is advancing. this way the air would also push much farther as it would be sudden, not just lob the dart out before it can get fully into alignment.
good luck, i hope it goes well for you. And if you do figure it out, it'll be unearthly hard to actually build it all without plastic-molding facories. Hope you're good with your hands.

Good luck-and i mean that in a sincere way, not in the usual "doubt it's going to work" way. Keep us informed.

Ziggy, you already told me about your homemade. Im sure its great, but as you said, the pumping is hard, making it impractical for use in a war. We lack the necassary parts and equipment to make an auto homemade. Ive got plans for a semi auto homemade wich is possible if you want them. But dont get your hopes high at all for an auto gun, because it aint gonna happen. Leave it to the engineers with molds to do that .
