Good sizes?

Tomorrow I am going to get the parts to make a cannon and I am wondering if these specs sound allright for good performance. I'm thinking 3' of 2'' sch40 pvc, over under design using all 3/4'' and a 4-5 foot barrel of 3/4 inch for a barrel. By the way I am using a 3/4'' orbit watermaster for the val...
