so would i just need to get a 3/4" male threaded pvc fitting with a 3/4" spigot then a 3/4"-1" reducing bushing then use a 1" socket to fit it to my 1" pipe? because i don't want to buy 3/4" pipe aswell as the 1" and 2" pipe because i have to buy in expensive 3m lengths :(

As spanerman said, solvent weld the 1" socket - 3/4" threaded bsp male onto an end of your barrel, do the same to the 2" socket onto your chamber, screw the reducing bush from the 2" threaded bsp male into the 2" - 1" reducing bush, and then screw them in (the right way round) into your 1" sprinkler valve.
I think ive explained more than was neccesary.

It's going to be a bit of an awkward cannon though, are you going to use an elbow or something, the barrel, chamber and fill/trigger point will all be 90 degrees to each other. Like this __|__
