<i>Not</i> to scale.
There's a nice diagram I made of the internals of a blowgun... the blue thing is the moving part, which is pushed down by a lever on the handle. The red things are O-rings, the grey dots all in a row represent the spring, and the light grey represents the main body of the blowgun.
As to making a big blowgun, it'll get very hard to actuate at diameters over 1/2".
