It's obviously a lathe. The discs are a little too big to fit into their shooter so they needed to make the radius a little smaller.

But in all seriousness, I had the same idea but scrapped it after realizing that when you go to punch the disc forward, the lip of the disc gets caught on the the spinner. There are ways around this, but sadly my team didn't have the resources to pursue this idea.
