Wow this is most impressively scary. Karthik isn't known for shooting down the competition.

I had my clipboard very close by just in case there was a misfire.
I definately know what Karthik wants for Christmas.
I think that 1535 t-shirt will be on top of the press box for all eternity.

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun

how did you make it? looks like a water sprinkler valve, but how was it triggered?

29-03-2009 21:57

ShopElf1535

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun

there is a hole in the top of the valve, and that is connected to an air nozzle like you would find on a shop air hose, and when you squeeze the trigger it lets a tiny amount of air out, creating low pressure on one side of the rubber seal, which makes the seal get pulled up, therefore letting all the air into the barrel.

does that answer your question?? if not let me know and i can tell you whatever you want to know

It looks like Karthik is singing while he is shooting.

Either is lethal at 15 yards.

Is that what the cannon was saying?

When he fired it, did the recoil shoot him across the crater

This seriously puts me in the mind of the buffalo wild wings commercials. Just remember to shoot all the people you want, but please don't hit the bots.

Forget 1114 and 188, I think we found the best shooter this year.

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun

Haha we were so glad they let us fire the cannon at GTR, when we were at the Wisconsin regional nothing was allowed to be thrown in the stands let alone fired out of a cannon at 40 psi! When we come to Atlanta we might bring our bigger three barrel cannons as well as the single fire cannon since the venue will be huge!

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun

Karthik told me his mom was in there. I hope he didn't get sent to his room for firing at her.

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun

Yeah, I know 269 built a tshirt cannon last year and was firing it on Friday morning at Wisconsin but was told to get rid of it later. The reasoning was for the PVC air storage and how its not really pressure rated.

This may have been part of the issue. It sounds like they've totally banned all tshirt shooters now. Bummer. Between that and the free healthcare, I'm about ready to jump ship America!

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun

Haha, my mother was seated just underneath the VIP boxes, but still within the firing path. She was less than impressed.

woops sorry about that karthik, i guess 50 psi was a little too much. i am sure it will do just fine for Georgia

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun

you will notice us in atlanta, the tshirt gun is now painted yellow and black and has a bright orange end, for safety of course!

Re: pic: Karthik with a gun

Next time you (try to) give your mom a T-shirt, just hand it to her!

(Oh, and I think Dave underestimated the lethal ranges by an order of magnitude or so. Not to mention the fourth dimension.)
