first of all SEARCH! next time please this info is everywhere! Sprinklers are found at hardware stores and the blowgun is used to pilot the valve creating a pressure differential,moving the diaphram and opening the valve.

you should go to wiki, and read about what all the parts do so that you have an understanding of whats going on, and then ask questions, instead of asking for someone to explain how a pneumatica cannon works. As far as where to get the sprinkler valve and blow gun, try your local hardware stores, like home depot or lowes or any others you may have.
