Well, my first professional-ish looking piston cannon is done!
Specs:
2.5" chamber . . . about 2-3 ft.
1" barrel with female adapter
Hot glue piston with a neoprene disk
Pressure Gauge
Schrader valve for filling
1/4" NPT ball valve for actuating piston
2 grips from a water gun
Mostly made of parts I found around the house.
Very comfortable to hold, easy trigger setup, all that good stuff.
I painted it with the same pattern as this one:

Nifty! That's really cool! I really like the handles. Did you get them off one of those water bazooka things?

With some kind of electronitc or pneumatic actuation, that could easily be turned into an effective semi/full auto design

how do you breech load a coaxial?

The marble barrel screws on to the end of the 1" barrel, so its just kinda "half breech loading".
