go to the spud wiki it has everything you need to know. Between that and the how-to forum you can build just about anything you want.

if you dont find what you need, make a simple pneumatic podered by a 1.5" ballvalve and charged by a bike pump.http://www.spudtech.com should have a shrader valve that will work with your bike pump

the cannon should be setup like this

im too lazy to post pics or plans, but if you cant figure it out by what you find on the wiki and this, go bury your head in the sand
in the upcoming presidential election, there will be several candidates who will be running, one of whom is Hillary Clinton. Now WAIT A SECOND!!! I though there was some sort of rule that prevented someone from serving more than two terms in office. Vote Against Hillary: Presidential Elections 08
