Will you be taking any measures to reduce noise for this one?Jimmy K wrote:A smaller version of this cannon is in the works. The barrel has been halved - to 10' - and the sprinkler valves are now pilot valves. 4" piston valve, here I come.

Feel free to pass design ideas to us to approve or rip apart. It may save you from designs that have design and safety flaws.
Congrats on the club and sponsorship.
A quick question, is 4 inch the piston OD or the valve orifice size? Valves seem to have 3 standards for measurement.
1 Pipe size such as a 1 inch sprinkler valve fits 1 inch pipe regardless of orifice or diaphragm size.
2 Orifice size. Size of the opening through the open valve.
3 Piston diameter. The pipe size and orifice sizes are often much smaller. Many 2 inch piston valves fit 1.5 inch pipe.
