I'm going to give Belsales a ring on Monday, they look like the swivel variety which, if they are will be even better! There maybe some performance difference between these and the Clippard QEV's. I f these are indeed designed for paintball, there may be a slight performance increase for our Pneumag/EP conversions/ I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

those QEVs are shorter than clippards, but alot fatter. the eclipse is a 1/2"cube of aluminum basically. the clippards are longer, but only 5/16" wide.

it's all about which one will work for your individual design.

personally, I love QEVs, but they are not needed when using a manifold to directly connect the valve to the cylinder(mpa-3).

one thing you want to remeber is that when using such a small cylinder, length of hose bwtween the valve and the mpa-3 is important. you want to keep it as short as possible. you don't want to have to fill a long hose up to bring the mpa-3 up to pressure. it will cause a delay before and after pulling the trigger. if you can keep the hose really short, you don't need a QEV.
