I'm surprised you got the Shooters Design POM valve to work. I've seen it fail in 100% of the setups I've tried.


I've recently seen this happen to three other Action Power Up Cylinder bulbs (one as recent as yesterday.) It turns out that the flow guide (the pointy part that sticks in to the cavity) is just pressure fit in to that hole. When you're shooting very powerful setups, the high pressure can actually pop that guide out, and shoot it out of your muzzle (yay! pointy metal projectile!)

I've already started looking for an alternative, but the only one that I've ever used that I found to be equally as good in performance (but more durable) is the Firefly one, and that one is only sold in a kit including the piston head. This isn't ideal for me.

I may have to start manufacturing my own... hmm...
