I'm making my millionth <exateration> homemade. I normaly use a very small tank and a zero valve on my sidearms. I was wondering if i even need that extra tank. I can normaly get about 3 shots off with the tank, and I know ill only be able to get one off without it. But with the time it takes to re-load, wouldn't be easier just to have a zero. Also, sometimes I have trouble with fishtaling on the 10 inch barrels, could dropping that extra tank stop that?

Winners are never quitters, and quitters are never winners. Think about it.

First, I assume you're talking about this Zero valve.

If so, the need for a tank between the pump and the valve depends on the length of your valve and the desired air volume. If you're making a sidearm, I would suggest dumping the tank.

It could very well help with your fishtailing problems. If you're able to get several shots off before pumping, the pressure is too high as your darts are leaving the barrel.

I am talking about that zero valve. Thanks for the info, im not the man to ask about tanks, but I specialize in barrels. Your kindness will not go unreconized. <happy crying>
