@balak121 This cannon uses a piston valve, which is very efficient. It requires a smaller valve to trigger it, usually a ball valve. In this case, a sprinkler was used. This particular cannon has a 2" porting.

@iNFamousAAC What do you mean "Pilot" ?

[iNFamousAAC]

@Lokivoid It is that price as it has custom made solid PVC and a Supah Valve as a valve.

@balak121 The sprinkler valve is only the pilot.

Its just a solenoid that you can buy at homedepo for 5 to 13 bucks, and PVC, whole thing could be made for less then 30 not includeing a co2 tank or compressor. In general though its alot larger then it needs to be, Just use thicker wall pipe or then wall steel pipe for the expansion chamber and you can cut the size down 50% outside of the barrel. If you use a blowback valve to relay the pressure to bolt latch you could make it "rapid fire", one show in video is single shot manual boltlatch.

@StopMotionMind if you look the valve looks like a sprinkler valve i can get for 13 bucks, otherwise its a great gun.
