mechanical force always takes the path of least resistance. in this case air pressure. will always escape the easiest way it can. so as long as you don't have something jammed in the barrel so hard that it wont move, witch in the case of a potato or A T-SHIRT is practically impossible for the pressure to escape by breaking through the barrel. the pressure will escape by pushing the potato out of the way. so here is some safety advise, just for good measure use at least sch40, and don't cram junk in the barrel. and defiantly don't try to stick it into the ground and fire it and don't fill the barrel with water and try to launch that. the recoil will easily fracture your ribcage. never launch a t-shirt directly at someone launch it in the air and let if fall on them. I'm sure you all remember how Maude Flanders died on the Simpson's. other than that have fun dispensing t-shirts
