How to build a gun that shoots wet towels?

If you've never been in a shower fight you cannot possibly imagine the pain a wet towel can inflict..

A towel can be many things. It can be a means to wipe oneself dry after a dip into the cold wet. It can be a used to cover a chair before sitting, or coat an ugly cousin's face. It can be a friend in the dark. And, it can be a weapon.

Towels are the probably meanest armament to make it into the arsenal of grade schoolers and above. And while they may be perfectly confident with drenching their dry-off-implement before whipping it at each other; we are somewhat more ambitious!

Our plan is to create a gun with the following characteristics:

• can shoot wet towels ammunition
• mostly precise over a distance of roughly 3"“4 lengths of a standard towel
• the ammunition should achieve this nasty whip-slap effect on skin that we know and enjoy from towel-fights
• make us the king of towel-fights

Q: How to create such a towel gun so we can achieve that satisfying wet whipping effect?
