Belts (that aren't shown) line the sides of the gun, two pulleys aren't shown either. The belts will spin ridiculously fast and out will come a ball at (hopefully) 12 m/s in a relatively straight line. We hope....
108
P.S. the estimated acceleration of the ball is 283 ish m/s^2.
time spent in barrel = .064 seconds.
at that rate, it should take only 293 hours, 46 minutes, and 41.17 seconds to reach the speed of light.
