Second, it's a potential safety hazard, and therefore possibly NOT legal. Think about it: you have a wheel spinning at some fairly high RPM, and you're holding it together with duct tape. Something happens and the tape doesn't stick anymore (adhesive vs. shear stress, let's say--pretty common for something like this). You now have a projectile. Ouch.

If you were to use tape to hold the shooter wheel together, I would anticipate every inspector in the area would be very, very, very concerned. You would have to prove that your use was, in fact, safe.

thanks we will try to find something else
