Is a Pneumatic hook launcher legal?

I made a pneumatic hook launcher for climbing and it works by releasing 60 psi into an aluminum launch tube(rated at 1400 psi) to propel the hook itself out of the tube. I was wondering if this launch mechanism is FRC legal?
would the launch tube need to be considered a pneumatic component as it's not holding the pressure and is just releasing it?
