I don't think I'm alone in saying:

EVERYBODY RUN!

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!!!

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

The safest place to be is behind him. Thats boring, quick everyone build a padded lexan room for him.

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

lol when was this? was it at GTR??

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

I was going to comment, but I think I'm going to save it for the guaranteed upcoming caption contest.

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

it was this taken this weekend at GTR

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

Wow this is most impressively scary. Karthik isn't known for shooting down the competition. :P

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

I think the robot standing behind him could save us all

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

I had my clipboard very close by just in case there was a misfire.
I definately know what Karthik wants for Christmas.
I think that 1535 t-shirt will be on top of the press box for all eternity.

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

OH MY GOD! LOOK OUT!

:p

Karthik 1999

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

Haha the crowd went wild when he shot it

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

Haha yes, Karthik was so jacked when he got to shoot this. This is Team 1535's gun and we will be bringing it to Atlanta! See everybody there!

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

i heard that thing is loaded with air using a compressor? LOL

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

LOL i am so glad that i made that gun!! i was like hey Karthik would you like to shoot our shirt cannon before our match? he was like "YESSSS!!" :)

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

ya we loaded it with about 40 psi! the one that went over the press box was 50 psi though!! Karthik wanted more pressure :P he got it

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

omg, that is epic lol

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

I'm looking forward to seeing it in action! That is one sweet looking gun. The look on his face has me a tad worried though....

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

We'll have to get one of those for the next time he shows up at FLR.

haha

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

Wow Duncan, way to steal my photo

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

Haha seconded.

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

how did you make it? looks like a water sprinkler valve, but how was it triggered?

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

there is a hole in the top of the valve, and that is connected to an air nozzle like you would find on a shop air hose, and when you squeeze the trigger it lets a tiny amount of air out, creating low pressure on one side of the rubber seal, which makes the seal get pulled up, therefore letting all the air into the barrel.

does that answer your question?? if not let me know and i can tell you whatever you want to know

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

It looks like Karthik is singing while he is shooting.

Either is lethal at 15 yards. :)

Karthik CANNONgasabapathy?

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

Is that what the cannon was saying?

When he fired it, did the recoil shoot him across the crater :yikes:

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

This seriously puts me in the mind of the buffalo wild wings commercials. Just remember to shoot all the people you want, but please don't hit the bots.

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

haha. This thread has so much win.

I saw this picture on facebook earlier and laughed uncontrollably :P

My favorite was when he got it on top of the VIP box!

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

I love how that T-Shirt will probably be there until they tear the place down.

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

Forget 1114 and 188, I think we found the best shooter this year.

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

Haha we were so glad they let us fire the cannon at GTR, when we were at the Wisconsin regional nothing was allowed to be thrown in the stands let alone fired out of a cannon at 40 psi! When we come to Atlanta we might bring our bigger three barrel cannons as well as the single fire cannon since the venue will be huge!

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

I hear that good old Queen Elizabeth escaped Karthik's wrath.....this year. ;)

...anyone who's ever been to the Hershey Centre knows what I am talking aboot. :P

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

Karthik told me his mom was in there. I hope he didn't get sent to his room for firing at her.

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

Yeah, I know 269 built a tshirt cannon last year and was firing it on Friday morning at Wisconsin but was told to get rid of it later. The reasoning was for the PVC air storage and how its not really pressure rated.

This may have been part of the issue. It sounds like they've totally banned all tshirt shooters now. Bummer. Between that and the free healthcare, I'm about ready to jump ship America!

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

Yeah but using all those "our"s in all your sentences will drive you right back.:D

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

Now this picture has better comedy potential!
"Any of you younguns get any funny ideas of grabbin' them controls before yer 'sposed to is gonna end up with 100% cotton blend straight between the eyes!"
*Spits tobacco on the regolith*

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

Haha, my mother was seated just underneath the VIP boxes, but still within the firing path. She was less than impressed.

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

woops :P sorry about that karthik, i guess 50 psi was a little too much. i am sure it will do just fine for Georgia :)

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

you will notice us in atlanta, the tshirt gun is now painted yellow and black and has a bright orange end, for safety of course!

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

Next time you (try to) give your mom a T-shirt, just hand it to her!

(Oh, and I think Dave underestimated the lethal ranges by an order of magnitude or so. Not to mention the fourth dimension.)

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

Possible Caption:

Karthik: IMA FIRIN MY T-SHIRTZ!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

(Shoop Da Whoop reference :D)

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

Easy, I heard a rumor Karthik is up to 12 pounds ... soaking wet.

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

Bahaha. I realize this is major thread revival, but I just noticed Karthik is pointing the tshirt cannon at my team :ahh:

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun
 

IF you add some blue face paint. You would look like an act i saw in Las Vegas :D drumbone anyone.
