So, yes, a smaller diameter cylinder will pressurize faster, but the trade-off is less output force.

Is there some reason why you dont want to implement the release-trigger like I drew in the diagram? its probably the easiest way to make a pneumatic shooter.
I think a lever would be a better idea. Where a bar has a pivot on one end, then have the piston in the middle then the other end of the bar hits the ball.
