You mean how long it will fire for, right? Well, that would depend on the diameter of the pipe. What diameter were you thinking?

If you want an answer to your question, give more information.
What are you using for a valve (blowgun?) ?
What are you using for a barrel? (1/4" brake line, or?)
These things will affect how long your pressure chamber is useful.
If it is already posted, you COULD post a link to it. Might make it easier for someone to help you?
The blowgun I was able to find specs for has a flow rate of about 30cfm at 90psi.
That's 28.8 in3 per second at 90 psi.
Your chamber volume is 301.4 in3
That means, you would run out of useable air in less than 10 seconds.
That sucks.

It would be better to have a regulated HPA or CO<sub>2</sub> supply, but it can still be funGippeto wrote:That means, you would run out of useable air in less than 10 seconds.
