Soon to be built soaker, need advice.

Hey guys! I'v been lurking around this site and this is my first post.
I'v been building pneumatic launcher for a short while now and i decided to try my luck at water cannons. The reason is that i got disguted with weapons in general and building soaker was a good alternative.
Since i used to build spudgun and such weapons, i own a compressor and i was hoping to use it for my soaker project. But as i learned more from this website it seems that the most efficient soakers are the CPS types, wich could only be achieve by PUMPING water into a rubber tube or balloon.
In order to use my compressor efficiently, i could have pressurized a chamber full of water and then unleash the water afterwards, wich would have been very simple and fairly efficient. But i wanted to go with the CPS concept, so i came up with the idea that you can see in the drawing i uploaded with this post.
The air pressure would come in through the red thing on the left of the drawing, the pressure would then push the water contained in the chamber through the green tube. From there, the pressurized water would fill the orange tube (rubber latex tubing). The rubber latex tube now pressurized could be unleashed normally.
According to your experience, would that work efficiently? Im looking for your infinitly wise advices ^-^
Thanks, for any clarifications, just reply, i'll be 'round here.
