You would get a C:B ratio of 1.095:1, which is fine. What pressure are you wanting to run at? The higher the pressure, the smaller the volume if you want the same results as a low pressure high volume chamber. It should be fine either way though.

BTW, you work out C:B ratio by going:
(chamber) pi.radius(squared).height of chamber
divide by
(barrel)pi.radius(squared).height of barrel
really good quote/phrase here

pneumatic or combustion ? i think it would be combustion and for combustion thats a fine ratio if you don't want a large amount of power. make the chamber and barrell longer and you're in.
