Here's what I know from 2052's launcher-

1) It has been awhile since I have seen the launcher, but I would guess it is a 3" pipe. We roll the shirts and secure the roll with a rubber band. You can roll a tshirt to just about any size. Play around with it and once you get a method that works, stick to it.

2) This will depend a lot on the individual components. The distance will also depend far more on the PSI than the amount of air you store. 2052's is a 5 gallon tank though.

3) As large as possible. 2052's are I believe 3/4", though bigger is always better in this case. You want to maximize the amount of air leaving the tank at once and you want it to exit as quickly as possible.

4) There are trade offs here. With our 5 gallon tank at about 100 PSI we could get a long shot (over the bleachers from the track on a typical HS football field), a medium shot (middle of the stands), and a short shot (just over a 3ft fence) before recharging. The biggest issue here is the compressor. The KOP compressors are NOT designed for this use. They run VERY hot, and once you get up to around 90PSI, they start cutting out and blowing the circuit breakers. We ran two KOP compressors and still had some troubles. If you can, get a bigger compressor.

As for your last question- we run ours on the track, though I would be wary on the field. Maybe someone else can chime in on that bit.
