1 MEET THE MAGICFX® CONFETTI GUN!
CANNON CONNECTORS
CANNON LEDS
The MAGICFX® CONFETTI GUN is a handheld gun-shaped electronic device for safe
®
shooting of MAGICFX
electric cannons.
Before operation one, two or three electric cannons need to be loaded into the
barrel(s) of the MAGICFX® CONFETTI GUN. Each cannon is held in place in the barrel
with a thumb screw. Each barrel is equipped with a connector for the power cable of
the cannon. When the user pulls the trigger, the reloadable battery inside provides a
current to the cannon through this connection. This releases the pressurized nitrogen
in the bottom part of the cannon, shooting the load into the air.
The MAGICFX® CONFETTI GUN can be operated in Single Shot or Full Shot mode.
Furthermore the gun is equipped with a built-in laser and a shoulder belt. With a fully
loaded battery the MAGICFX® CONFETTI GUN provides about 1 000 (single) shots.
