all the testing that teams have done (over the years) says no. The air cannot flow through the little openings in the solonoid valves, fittings and tubing fast enough.

Ever see the pumpkin-chuckers, the giant air cannons that launch a 10" pumpkin about a mile away? they have huge air valves that someone pulls with a foot long handle.

we dont have those valves, so you need to get the air in the cylinder first (precharge) and then pull the mechanical pin out of the way.
