Looks awesome. Dump chamber like a the D.P. markers? That'd be the smallest size I would think. Otherwise you could put the valve system into the grip possibly.

There is now way I would want to shoot something like that in real life. Would kick so much.
makes me think of this:

That would be better. Would love semi-auto or even select fire but that would take up a lot more room.
I would think 12 g would be best, however you'd probably need a reg unless you used a sheridan type valve or similar but that would change the size for sure. Some sort of regulated input would be necessary depending on the valve system.

You can also connect the trigger directly to an on-off valve to skip the miniature valve thing, though that can result in short stroking to a completely open valve.

The funny thing is - in this forum someone says "let's make this" and within 5 responses you already have 2-3 design ideas, a conceptual drawing, and a plan in the works. I think with the thinktank this forum is, if we had the machinery at hand and the time you guys could go from concept to prototype in 2 weeks time
