cannon question

I've only built a couple cannons in the time that this hobby has interested me (in other words, I'm new at this) but is there a better way to fire a pneumatic cannon than a diaphragm? As of now it has become a real pain in the a**, having to keep replacing it everytime it tears or breaks.

There are many ways, piston, sprinkler valve and a few others. Heres a link to spud wiki, take a look around there because it will answer a few of the questions you are thinking.

K find the one you would like to build and try browsing this site or googling for plans. Want us to baby step you threw the rest of the process?

If you are just starting with pneumatics than I suggest that you get a sprinkler valve (very simple) and if you want you can take the time to mod the valve.

yes ide sugest a sprinkler valve if you are just starting out on pneumatic's and probably a less complicated gun but its all up to you.
