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

Size doesn't matter when it comes to velocity.
You can get high velocities with smaller cannons even easier.

In terms of calibre, yes, but barrel length and chamber size are very relevant factors in the velocity department, it's very much the case of "as big as you can afford".
