To figure the amount of force of a spring driven piston, you need to know the spring's constant. It is figure that tells you how much force to compress the spring a specified distance. Take that figure and multiply it by the distance of the spring's compression, that will give you the amount of force. Now multiply that by the square inches of the piston face to get the amount of air pressure.
