I’ll send you some. If you can get a shooter to shoot inside the hailfire
wheel, all you need is Darth vader’s cape (the really big one) to catch the
balls. Just drape it behind the wheel, and it stops the balls.
I dropped it yesterday, and now it only has 75% accuracy. But now, after I
rebuilt it. shoots ~7.5 feet. I can lay down with the shooter at my feet and
it shoots over my head with room to spare.
And yes, it can shoot minifigs. After all, that is the most important part,
right?

Between burning out two motors on a prototype and having the tire in my pirate
ship become bald by the end of BrickFest, I think I’m done building GBC shooting
mechanisms. But they’re so much fun . . .
I wonder if my prototype (which is still assembled) could win this contest,
except I don’t want to risk any more motors with it. Maybe if I had some RC
motors -- how prone are they to stalling?
