This really isn't that tough to design, the biggest issue is the weight of the cylinders and the volume of air needed to drive the system, However I haven't put too much thought into it yet but I'm sure it can be done.

My math on the air charge needed makes a linear pneumatic system untenable. Combined with other mechanisms it becomes much more viable.
