Title: T-Shirt Cannon
Post by: larryk on January 15, 2013, 03:36:04 PM
We've been thinking about buying a t-shirt cannon and the letting our customers that place an order that qualifies using it at their games or events...... Anybody else out there ever do this?

I have thought about that. It just they are expensive for the real ones. Liability would be something else to think about.

Make one, super simple.

Been planning on doing it for my town's 4th of July parade for awhile.

this is the one to get...They buy the shirts from you right. This one will make them have to buy hundreds just to use it for 10 mins.

Somewhere I have plans for a home made one. Seems like an amphibian passed them along to me years ago. I'll see if I can find it. Everything you need to make it is available at your local Home Depot or similar store.

Did anyone make tennis ball cannons when they were kids, before they changed the shape of soda cans? Cans, duct tape, tennis balls and lighter fluid. What could go wrong?! God the good ole days.

 Those are awesome, I could see using that during a parade but alas the insurance police have ruined them in our area , No more candies and things thrown from floats because someone might run under the wheels of a float  ie. Tractor.   Longing for the old days of battle to the end for that last tootsie roll :)

The local USHL team and Minor League Baseball team here both use them. And yes, they are shooting shirts we make.

I don't think making one would be the right option if we are going to loan it out.... pretty sure my product liability wouldn't work. That gattling gun kicks butt for sure..... Lots of good feedback but it doesn't sound like anyone here has tried it yet. Thanks guys!

When money starts coming in I may serious look at getting the gatling gun. I have a few companines that give shirts away and I know that would be a cool thing to add to the website. Buy 500 shirts and get a free rental of our Gatling gun. Hell you could rent it out for like $50 a day. Mo Money, Mo Money.

A little less high tech but possibly just as fun how about a water baloon launcher .
Years ago I was at an air show, the traffic out after was brutal 2 + hours . there were a bunch of guys in a pickup truck about 4 cars back. They hada 3 person water baloon launcher and were sending those water filled bombs easily 100 yards up the traffic line. Great enetetainment till the baloons ran out.......funnier than hell

I'll let you guys know if it is a good idea or not in a couple of weeks. I found a used one on Craigslist for 300.00......... I'll take a week or so and pimp it out, then turn 'em loose with it. Really now, What could go wrong?

Get the Liability waver ready. Seriously have them sign it and make everyone that has permission to use it sign it. People are stupid and they are sue happy these days. You should make a video for use to watch.

Yea Jon thanks for the advice on that waiver... and we plan on making a "How to use" video and one with it in use at a basketball game to post on our website.

You should have a "how not to Use" video. It would be alot funnier. Do not shot people in the head (video of someone getting hit in the head. Do not shoot someone in the nuts (video of someone getting....
