Simple piston valve hybrid idea - did anyone do it?

Hi,
I thought of this hybrid:
Take a reinforced standard piston valve pneumatic. Add a thin pushrod through the end of the valve: It is pushed by the piston slamming the bumper.
At the other end of the rod, outside the valve, place a BBQ ignitor. Connect that to a spark plug in the chamber.
Get a large supply of replacement seals for the valve seat ... he he ... (design it to use O-rings).
Now, load the gun, pressurize it with an air-fuel mixture and fire.
Comments?
