Check out other cannons which people have already posted. Otherwise we can't help you if we know nothing about your planned cannon.

Just guessing here, but I'm guessing you won't need it too big because you have a small barrel? Maybe 1/2"-1" and one which is easy to mod such as a rainbird

The best to use would be the biggest( 1 inch/25 mm in this case)

You can always use threads and couplings to reduce it from any size to any size as long as it's a standard size.
