I was browsing at my local scrap metal recycling center and came across an air cylinder and picked it up for $3.78. it is a 2 1/8" dia. by 6" stroke. I was curious if it would be sufficient for use in a small (25 Lbs.) Kenyon style air hammer? My concern is that with the short 6" stroke it would not generate enough inertia to move the metal. Any thoughts on this?

Mine is a 2 1/2" bore w/ a 12 inch stroke. I could have gotten by w/ a 10" stroke but that is about as short as I think you would want.
