I want to know what you would recommend for a bumper on a piston cannon.

Like above said, do research!!! What kind of piston are you using? How big is the piston? What is the piston made of? What is the piston housing made of??? All of this matters!! Its a blind question.

Your other thread has been deleted. There is no need for two threads by the same author on the same topic. Like the others have already said, you need to be more specific and do more research.

What size piston valve, at what pressure and made from what materials (including piston housing)?

There are plenty of topics on the forum that will answer questions like this. You can search the pneumatic showcase section for piston valved cannons and then check the topics to see if they elaborate on the bumper design.
