This is my co-axial cannon. It is mainly 2" Sch. 40 PVC. It is simple and uses a 1/8" neoprene rubber diaphragm. It used to use a 1/16" diaphragm, but that one busted under 50 psi. The old diaphragm was also inconvenient because after every shot it came off the barrel (I hadn't thought of using a spring). Then I had to unscrew the plug and reset it. I have never had the thick one burst and it stays in place.
The cannon is vented by a pneumatically modified 3/4" Orbit sprinkler valve. The plug is really ugly with all that PVC glue on it but that's because I drilled a hole for a steel nipple but the hole was too big. So I cut a male threaded piece off of one of my other pneumatics and stuck it in.
I clamped the blowgun onto the back handle and it fits me perfectly. The handles are 1" PVC and wrapped in hot pink duct tape.
The barrel is inside the chamber all the way to the back and is 3/4" PVC. It is cut off and set flush to the front end of the gun.
The firepower behind this is amazing! On a chrono it shoots a paintball about 820 fps.

That's cool and powerful! I like coaxial, they conserve space and look nice if you ask me. Excellent work!
