I've been ordered by my local field to make a tshirt launcher for our big games. tshirtgun.com sells them for was too much but they look so simple! Anyone have experience with these???

Thanks!

Any plans for a regulated co2 tater gun should be easily applicable to shoot t-shirts. You just need to bundle up the shirts into a shootable projectile.

you could use a tippmann paintgrenade launcher ;) Then mount it to your gun and shoot some greandes during the big game ;)

put a fat barrel on a spyder and crank the velocity?

Hell, mine's kinda for sale. But you probably don't want to shell out what I want for it, so hey.

Heck... Depending on specs, I can make one for you for as little as $50... :tard: A CO2 powered setup would be about $150 though...

How about a big sling shot? You can make one rather cheaply.

Air compressor -> ball valve -> fat piece of pvc for chamber w/ gauge -> ball valve -> tshirt size barrell

Open valve 1, turn on compressor and fill to desired pressure, close 1st valve. Open valve 2, Kaboom! Tshirt launced. Very Cheap, all the parts you need u can find cheap at a home depot. Use quick disconnects(from homedepot not paintball) to connect the compressor, its the easiest.

Here is an easy CA (constant air) solution for you. Grab yourself an old remote (with an on/off ASA). Screw a sideline Palmer stabilizer into the 1/8 npt port on the ASA, and connect to cannon. I'd suggest making up a bleed valve to prevent overpressurization.

Yeah, a potato cannon idea would work just fine, just sorta make something that would make sure the tshirt wouldn't catch on fire...Potato cannons are really cheap too,

If you were to use a combustion cannon you could just use some wadding to protect the shirt -- but that would really be a pain to reload and unless you are using a nice clean propellant(aka not deoderant or something) the tshirts might start smelliing kinda nasty.

use xmetals instructions and it woudl work fine, seeing as a paintball field wants u to make one making one using co2 or n2.
