Combustion powered water guns are a bad idea. The water could heat up if the PC contains a small amount of water, and the shot would be violent as well as loud.

That goes without mentioning that the water likely will put out any fire in there quickly, weakening the shot. You'd also likely need a considerable amount of air in the chamber to allow it to work properly.

Combustion water guns aren't going to happen.

Hmm...perhaps use dry ice in the air chamber of a constant air pressure?
