Feedback on my coaxial piston design

Hay
This is my idea for my new airgun.(it's the 4. one i think...)
I just want to know what you think about it.
Blue: Air tank (bore 4cm 115cm long , pressure 20 Bar)
Yellow: Barrel (bore 1.4cm 100cm long)
Light red: Moveable thing in the tank.
Dark red: Valve ( trigger)
Orange : Bike valve
Brown : Magnet that holds the bullet in place. (I hope that it will work a bit like a hop up in an airsoftgun and make the bullet rotate)
When The tank is filled with air you open the dark red valve to shoot.
It shout work like a QEV.
What do YOU think of this plan?

Yeah, its called a coaxial cannon. I have never made one, but assuming that piston is sealed on the barrel, it should work. Just make sure it has a bumper. And welcome to the forums.

Co-axial cannon and yes it would work and the movable think is called a piston you could use hot glue with a rubber face

Yes I have seen many coaxial cannons like this, as long as it is made well then it will work beautifully.
good luck on construction!

Make sure there is very little space between your "moveable thing in the tank" and the walls of your "fixed thing that contains breathing stuff packed inside"

LOL
great one
Aside from that...
Piston needs to be extra light, almost airtight while keeping minimum friction with the chamber wall. Your idea of a magnet could be improved to act as a back-spring, if your piston contains steel, it could allow you to fill the chamber from somewhere else than the back of the spudgun. You'd need a square based cylinder-type neodymium magnet glued on the very base of the barrel.
