blowgun on coaxil piston??

has anyone ever used a blowgun on a coaxil piston for exausting the air? would it let air out fast enough?

You should be fine. Blowguns are used to exhaust sprinkler valves which are about the same size as your cannon.

It doesn't work for diaphragms. Currently the glue on my new coax (same 1.5" with .5" barrel) is drying but usually after like 8 or 9 hours I put it to 20 psi to check for leaks. IF you put o-rings on the piston it will be slightly harder to slide it and harder to open it.

Hmmmm.....(my idea has spread nicely)

Would it be better to put a sprinkler valve on it befor the blowgun, would the gun be more powerfull?

nah i dont think it would make that much of a difference on this small of a gun.
