This was inspired by something I saw on a website called [http://xinventions.com/]. It's a pneumatic water gun. I kind of made the design different, and am going to pick up the parts today. Just thought I'd share the design. I'll post pics of the finished gun in a few days.
The water is controlled by a gate valve, and the air by a blow gun (not pictured)

edit: finally got the file size down, so now all the pics are here

do you want to shoot a super soaker like stream or a mass of water and mist? because the linked cannon will give you a mass of water and mist

i'm planning to put a nozzle on it. i'm also going to put actual hose threads on it, because it's leaking.
