I'm not sure you would want a revolving reloader. You would need a way to maintain pressure. I would do it with a bolt action like on a hunting rifle. The problem with that idea is you need a way to separate the shirts. Maybe give the shirts a casing like wrap them in saran. Keeps them clean aerodynamic and you don't have to worry about folds! Another thing that would make it easy would make a hatch at the bottom of the tube. Just drop the shirt in close the hatch and shoot. Of course you need to use a lining of some type to prevent leakage and maybe a clamp (like the type used on tool chests) to hold the hatch closed.
