Yes. Piston valve guns work. What do you plan on making your piston out of?

It'd help if your piston had more surface area on the sealing face exposed to pressure. At the moment, there's little, if any, surface area actually exposed that will help push the piston back.

jackssmirkingrevenge, has proved it can work, but it'd be better if you have more surface area exposed.

Like in these diagrams:
