by vinyl tubing do you mean pvc if so yes but you wouldn't want to use a blo gun the volume released through it is not enough to shoot anything so you need a faster higher volume valve like a modded sprinkler valve, or a qev. How big do you want it to be maybe i could help u draw up plans or someone else for shure. i forgote to mention you need a tank to hold the pressure before you get to the barrel not the tank on the compressor but one witha larger opening. then you could place the whole assembly in a larger diameter pipe and use a football shaped object that has the barrel running through it to make a rocket like object if your going for looks

First of all, Mike, learn to use periods.
Your gun would work, however it would have horrible performance if I am understanding it correctly. Could you possibly draw up an idea on paint, that would help alOOOOt

mike that would work fine just get the barbed fitting and hose clamps for the hose and 1/2 inch sch 40 fits perfectly inside the openings of those bottles

the thing to the left is the holding tank the one to the right is a fake rocket for looks. and the plan calls for the use of a blowgun hooked to a 1/4 barbed fitting but half would work better.

its labled modded sprinkler valve on the plan itself as is it labled pressure tank so your question is already answered cant you read?
