Hello
My personal project is to make a pneumatic ball launcher controlled via radio remote control.
The tank would be based on a 904 or 907 gas camping style gas bottle.
On this tank I would add at the bottom a valve to inflate the tank, and at the outlet an electro-pneumatic valve (3/4" or 1"?) controlled via a 12v wireless relay (radio remote control) and finally a part with cone + launcher tube in 3D printing.
The ball would be a tennis ball.
A little idea to know the speed of air ejection, see the ball or even better an estimate of the projection distance of the ball at 30-40° / ground?
Far from being a specialist in this field, I would like to estimate before I go ahead to order equipment for nothing if the calculation is not satisfactory.
Looking at some video of a pneumatic patator, I think it's playable but I would like to make sure before doing anything.

Thank you in advance for any help that allows me to move forward in this project.
