T- Shirt Cannon

[turbohacker]

I Built this gun for my school a cople of months ago to fire t shirts into the crowd at sporting events (hence the miners sticker on the side) I has a three foot by three inch chainber and a two and a half inch barrel. It uses a Co2 tank to constantly refill itself. I used a beer keg regulator to regulate the Co2 to 120 PSI. I also incorperated a key safety and pushbutton fireing system because the school thaught that it was cool and didnt care if it affected performance a little bit. It will shoot a rooled t shirt about 250 to 300 feet when at peak performance level. I used a one inch sprinkler valve because I had not experenced the wonderful world of pistons yet. -enjoy

Wow I love the CO2 setup on that thing, how many shots do you get per tank?

[turbohacker]

I get about 10 to 12 shots, but the school pays for the Co2 and they have like five or six tanks

Best way to go

You should get or make a piston valve and then see how many people want Tshirts

That thing rocks. It sounds like it is a lot of fun, don't feel bad sprinkler valves are what I would use too. QEV's cost alot but I heard they work better than the sprinkler valve.

why is this in the cannon contest place??

on subject that is one sweet gun but i tihnk shownomercy was talking about putting a piston on here so it would be really powerful

[ShowNoMercy]

Yes that is what I meant. But still nice gun here and the piston gun was ok but no where near the level seen on this gun.

[turbohacker]

i was looking at the guns that were already on the contest and thaught i might, mabee, somehow have a chance

That is a nice gun.Do the t-shirts open while they're flying through the ar or do they stay rolled in flight?
