From our tests a linear punch wasn't a highly desirable option for us anyways because it lacks a long range. The boulders absorb a lot of that impact. For your wheeled shooter, I recommend using a servo with a lever attachment to kick the ball into you wheels. It has a small profile, and doesn't require you to add pneumatics.
