Pressure is Force/Area, if we assume perfectly inelastic collision between the pistol, board, and ball, then it'd just be some kind of force -> momentum conversion, then conservation of momentum. (Just divide the momentum of the board by the mass of the ball(?)). That would give you the velocity of the ball. Friction + rolling stuff -> final formula to use.
