i tried it with a 2" by 2 foot piece of pipe, ball valve to dump the air to the cannon and schrader to fill it but even at 120 psi, it wasnt enough for the large cannon. I think i need to use 4 inch by like 3 foot at 120 psi... My cannon has a quick connect on it, so i just attach the starter tank t...

i want it electrically powered, and i am using both valves, attached to one power source to fire at the same time. so they are wired together as one.

I want it electrical for safety purposes and for the coolness of having a missle arming switch as a safety lol.
