Re: T-Shirt Cannon

What you want to have is a "buffer" tank connected to the barrel by large tubing or pipe, i.e. at least 1/2", but 3/4" or 1" is better. The tank should be at least the volume of the barrel.

The buffer tank can be pressurized by small tubing, but you need large tubing from the buffer tank to the barrel.
