We got 4 of these to use for this past weekends SRS event. They worked great. I did the math on the number of poppers we would have used and this event would have cost us over $200 dollars. They will also shoot in the rain. The gunners liked them. $28.00 in gas and stll got plenty. I am going to shoot one in training to see how long the tanks will last. Have shot one tank over 200 times.

Are they really loud as a shotgun? Heard a video on youtube and it didn't impress me but could just be recording.

I think the website says 600 to 800 shots depending on the cylinder. It's hard to argue against them with the savings over popper shells in the long term. It seems the shells keep going up too.
A friend has one, works great. Now I have yet another thing to buy.
They are as loud as a shotgun.

Was at the SRS event with Brett. You can prime them longer for a louder shot. I think they are louder than a FT popper. Was really impressed with them.

I think the reason they sometimes don't sound as loud as a popper gun has to do with how the unit is worn by the gunner. If it is slung where the muzzle is pointed back behind the gunner, the sound can go away from the line if he is facing the line.
One of the units was used in the Am at Wichita Falls this Spring.
