It's hard to imagine something to match the combination of sharp
loudness and convenience of a pistol. If you need it louder you might
have to just get a bigger pistol.
I seem to think they use 12 gauge blanks for sounding underground
objects. Similar problem with similar solution.

You can use a regular pistol and regular blanks. I bought a lot of
these for my uncle who was the coordinator for track and field in
Hawaii. We just bought regular blanks even thought they had starting
pistols, so you can use them in a regular pistol. He mixed black
powder and regular powder. Black powder for official races, regular
for practice. .22 and a .22 pistol should work well. I wouldn’t mess
with the black powder though as it is tough on the pistol and harder
to get. Let me know if you have a tough time finding them, I might
be able to help.

No we just want the shortest loudest sound we can get initially. I
will get it dialed in after some initial testing.
The problem with the starter pistol is that I think the sound comes
out of an area that is somewhat diffuse. If we put a blank in a
pistol then the sound should come from the barrel.

Starter pistol would be significantly louder and is pretty cheap to
use if you need to do this often. You can get .22 or .32 caliber
blanks. Don’t bother with the black powder blanks, they are harder
to get and cost more. The black powder only helps if you need visual
verification of the shot before the noise reaches you (like the timer
in a race).

I need to launch a large sound impulse down a pipe. Thinking of a
starter pistol. Banging on the side of the pipe is not good enough.
Need a loud pop that I can do over and over. Whatever makes the noise
need to be small.
Not sure if there is a small loudspeaker that could produce an impulse
sharp and loud enough.
Do they still make cap pistols? Not sure if toy caps would be loud
enough or not.
