It's definitely not for the faint of heart, and getting that small cylinder to smoothly catch and release a pre-charged large cylinder is mechanically difficult... But it's a tempting way to make a linear punch, I must say.
The actual pushing force of the piston may be the same, but it's dishonest to say it is "just as dangerous as a normal piston". The piston is moving several times as fast and releasing the force all at once. (Yup, contradicting myself)
