barrel sealer ,probs?

Cannons powered by pneumatic pressure (compressed gas) using a valve or other release.

Double post!
:D
looks good you just need a higher pressure pilot.
what were you shooting?

Less momentum.

The energy in a light piston will be essentially the same as in a heavier one.
Energy is force times distance - and given the forces will be (more or less*) the same, and the distance will be the same...

*Okay, the faster piston means you have to account for Bernoulli, but the effects of that are small at the speeds we're talking about.

Essentially, a piston in a given valve (at a given pressure) always attains the same energy when opening. The trick is to get as much velocity as you can for that energy, which is done by lowering the mass.
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?
