please let me know if this would be legal, cause I'd love to use a system like this on our own robot

It looks like it's a literal air cannon - there are no pneumatic cylinders involved. The fitting isn't modified, it's just attached. Inspection would be easy so long as the housing for the canon isn't PVC, PolyCarb, Fiberglass or other material that is prone to splintering during an extreme failure event.
