Burst disks can easily outpreform a sprinkler if used right. They open insantly, and allow total airflow, since all the air has to do is flow through the a hole almost as big as the pipe.

well if its your first pneumatic may i suggest that you use a ball valve they are nice and basic and your local hardware store should have them.After that you can make pistons etc.

I'm just suggesting that.


Edit- oh and spud yeti.... Wat die Hel?

Yeah... except that the guy already has the sprinkler valve and has modified it.

Good luck with the rest of the cannon pat123.
