Yes we did, although its not very rapid fire, we charge it with 2 standard KOP air compressors, and the tank is (pressure rated) PVC. All we used for a firing mechanism was a solenoid from a sprinkler system, and it seems to work well . we used the proper adhesive to attach the end caps onto our tank, and even though it all checks out safety-wise, I still don't like to stand in the way of where the tank ends are "aimed". Some kids tried to emulate our tank with wood glue and non-rated PVC and put a hole through our schools door with the PVC cap.
