cannon question

I've only built a couple cannons in the time that this hobby has interested me (in other words, I'm new at this) but is there a better way to fire a pneumatic cannon than a diaphragm? As of now it has become a real pain in the a**, having to keep replacing it everytime it tears or breaks.

There are many ways, piston, sprinkler valve and a few others. Heres a link to spud wiki, take a look around there because it will answer a few of the questions you are thinking.

If you are just starting with pneumatics than I suggest that you get a sprinkler valve (very simple) and if you want you can take the time to mod the valve.

yes ide sugest a sprinkler valve if you are just starting out on pneumatic's and probably a less complicated gun but its all up to you.
