I would love to have something to go off of for a template.
on a spud gun it has a closed system in which the the air only has one place to go, how dose the ball reload into the system, i figure it would be something like the ski balls project works by just funneling it into grove with gravity the ball's falls into a littel chamber and that chamber has a air compresser in it? i could see the pump being on the bottom and the ball falling on top of it, sealing it, when the pump discharges it just shoots up and follows the line out of the gun? and i doubt they use very much psi the balls barley make it out of the gun, (I'm going to change that) maby have bowling pins down at the end who knows,

Maybe it would be easier to not use an air cannon, and instead use some kind of hammer. You don't need super high velocity, since you're only firing a few feet. Have a motor on a cam charge back a spring and strike the ball as it rests in the back of the cannon.. Either that or something almost like a speaker driver, where a magnetic pulse drives a hammer forward an inch or two at high velocity.

it doesn't look very fun to play

The best way to figure out how to make one of those is to study how they are built.
look up manuals from the manufacturers.
that particular game there is made by Baytek. You can go on their website and download the manuals. That particular game doesnt show the manual but they have multiple ones where they are just themed differently but are made the same.
You will need to setup a free account.

That was exactly what i was looking for. thank you very much MGB. if you guys every played one of these there just fun little games, I was thinking about my theme and that it is going to be castlevania :timebomb: while looking into this i found that there was also a arcade out there all ready that was like house of the dead but castlevania!
I think what im going to do with this is make it bigger add some more air presser giving it more range make it more like a pinball type of game/ wac a mole , adding in the monsters on some sort of plexiglass.
