The idea is that you have two disks and in between a pilto valve like a solenoid or something. Maybe even a blowgun? The first disk is stronger than the second and the pressure in the chamber is more than in the middle. When the pressure is released from the middle the first disk breaks and then inevitably the second bursts. This would probrably work but would take long to load and unpractical as it would use two disks. Its just an idea, if anyone has tried anything like this how did it go? Thanks.

Great Idea but you'd have to put a single quick pulse 555 timer circuit for the sprinklers actuation so all the air wouldn't vent out the top....

This idea would mean you need 2 schrader valves though, or a schrader and a ball valve equalization in between the T and the chamber...

That'd work pretty good, but I thing the bust disk would mess up since you need enough pressure to trigger them on both sides on the burst disk...

The burst disk that the projectiles resting on would break unless it had more layers of alluminum foil\burst material than the other burst disk, and then if it was stronger it probably wouldn't break when the chamber is released...

when the high pressure air hits the valve, there is a chance that the valve will jump open.
