Is there a way to Oil up or Lube a Ball valve for quicker air release? I've created a homemade with an RSCB clip and the ball valve just takes too much effort.
I would've used a Zero type Trigger but I didn't have enough time to get that and pieces to fit with it

I'm hoping this is just for fun, cause all homemade airguns are pretty much banned no matter how you set up the system.

AHAHAHAHA xD I'ma sig that! > but anywhoom, yes its for fun, and I made some foam padded darts for extra safety, lol will like vegetable oil work for the valve? ahahaha! my friend used it for his rubick's cube and it slid smoothly for 3 years+. So I'm guessing this could be applicable to PVC?

Perhaps building a torque arm like this could help.
I've only tried silicone lube, which considerably slowed down one of my valves. It doesn't seem to be a reliable solution unless you're familiar with what works and doesn't with the various materials in the valve.

It's a good idea to test valves in the stores first to find the ones that open more easily.

I know about those arm ideas, but its alright, I use WD-40 on it, BUT I washed a day after, and now it moves faster than it did before,

I have had a few like this. Running and submerging them in hot water while opening and closing them seems to do the trick.
Dangit! I wished you told me sooner because I just finished up the guns yesterday
