alright ive made several cannons and my current is a 30" 1.5" barrel with about a 8" length of 4". that is still to loud for my every day "use" what are some sizes you guys are using that are relitively more quiete. i just want something small but somewhat powerful that i can "target" practice with..

Make a pnumatic, In general they are a lot quieter than a similar sized combustion.

Go with a .50 and get musket balls, you’ll have to wad them but it’ll give you a lot of stopping power.

I like my 36" x 1" s40 PVC barrel with a 10" x 3" s40 PVC chamber. Very powerful and quieter than my other gun close to what you described.

you could make a silencer for your combustion, but I'd go with a small bore pnuematic rifle, and for ammo toy darts, or nails with paper towel taped on.

Make a copper pneumatic.
Its all the rage really
Use household size pipe and fittings and make a piston valve to fire it.
