We saw one in action at the car show, and my boss said how coo it would be if we had one of those.

Seems simple enough, bulid it like a pneumatic spud gun, make sure the barrel is big enough to hold the rolled up shirt, hook it up to a compressed air or CO2 source and you're ready to fire, Mr. Gridley.

2. The Royals' idiot mascot, Sluggrrr, has one.
Steal his. He also shoots hot dogs.

And somebody stop him before he eats this kid!

4. Not the same situation.

Unlike the Maude Flanders situation, where they were firing from the ground into a raised position, we'd be firing large and Extra large tshirts from a raised position of three to three and a half meters or so into the air so it arcs down into a crowd below. Max range necessary need only be possibly seventy to one hundred meters (if that). Minimum range should possibly be ten meters.

How much PSI do you need to launch an XL cotton tshirt 100 meters?

6. Yeah, companies offering to sell you cannons for 400-1000 bones.

Our company doesn't have that kind of jack to sling around. Making our own would be cheaper.
