Generally speaking, no, a pneumatic piston that is otherwise FIRST-legal will not be able to impart enough energy to the ball quickly enough to "punch" it to a sufficient height to clear the TRUSS or the HIGH GOAL.

There ARE ways you can build a pneumatically powered firing mechanism that WILL do the job. Prototype your ideas and see what works and what doesn't.
