what type of cannon should i build next??????
Hey im new to the forums and have only made one cannon(over under sprinkler valve. i will post it but its not anything special) Now i want to make another one. I am going to make it a piston but was wondering if i should do another over/under or if i should go coaxial. Its going to have a 4 inch diameter chamber and 2 inch barrel. also how hard would it be to pump this with a bicycle pump. thnx for the info.

Woah..if its gonna be that big of a bore i suggest a combustion
Why will he not let you make a combustion cannon.

Why can't you build a combustion launcher? For a first build, you'll be far safer with one of those than a pneumatic (no constant pressure, generally less pressure produced), and you won't have to worry about an expensive 2" valve.
If you're really intent on pneumatic, as frankrede stated, a coaxial pneumatic piston valve is probably the way to go?

Actually, if you're creative enough, you could probably do this for under $100, if the parts are available locally. What material do you plan on using?the hardest part is going to be getting the money and making the piston

This is for a 2" piston but it gives you the general idea of how to make one:
