Also, I saw a team using a cylinder that had a long length and a short diameter to use as a shooter on YouTube. Does anybody have any idea what that might be/where I could get one?

Thanks
Probably a standard 2" short stroke (2-3") cylinder from Bimba ( www.bimba.com ). They may have locked a longer cylinder to get a shorter stroke with a higher pressure (due to Cv)
