i work with launchers every day as well. and as can be seen with the denver broncos a few years back, pvc is not good at all for use with such cannons. the air pressure can build causing the pvc to burst and cause serious injury if not death. and they can be more than just a stationary gun attached to wheel. you can tilt or spin at least on an its horizontal axis. so as cool as it looks, you should really be careful what you buy!
@grlnxtdoor1289 PVC used as air chambers tend to be a problem. PVC used as barrels are rarely a problem due to the inefficiency of the air valve used. There is a huge pressure drop. In testing a launcher I built, we never broke a barrel even when using a surge tank and 2 inch ported valve. Launches into the back of the upper decks is possible with only 30 PSI with a high volume valve. My team hit the stats scoreboard at the Rose Garden Arena. We used a steel tank for the chamber.
I work for the company that builds these and would like to explain the "flaws" pc617 mentions. The power of the gun is adjustable, if they don't want the T-Shirts to go as far, you just don't open the valve as much. And the reason we don't allow the gun to go up and down is for safety. the gun gun was brought down to close to level and it was shot and hit someone, it could hurt them.
lol yea its pretty cool but there are flaws. like the t-shirts only hit the people in the back row. they only hit people on that one side. maybe if it like spun and shot up and down like a wave or something lol. w/e it was a tshirt gatling gun...i still want one rofl

thats a revolver not a gatling gun. a gatling gun has multiple barrels, and this contraption has mutiple chamber and just one barrel.
