We use a shooting accumulator. Essentially a low pressure tank. It is a 2" pipe 24" long. That feeds the barrel through a 1" high flow valve and a couple of inches of 1" pipe. The charge valve from the air storage tank is actually closed when shooting. It takes a couple of seconds to charge the shooting accumulator through the regulator and a FRC legal solenoid valve.
