It became a minor Burning Man fixture, as evinced by these comments:
djmermaid (2004-08-26 00:13:32) PANTZOOKA!!! Pantzooka is coming back?!?! That’s great!!! Keep up the good work. Last year, friend of mine in Gigsville was telling all the pantless guys he saw that there was a ”pants free pride” photo shoot going on *right now* and directing them to Pantzooka. Hopefully you got some business from him. See you out there!
ltmurnau (2004-08-26 16:39:14) Re: PANTZOOKA!!! Well, the Pantzooka last year was actually a one-off photo opportunity. This year we’re serious! We’ll be roving around hunting targets, ”tagging” our prey. I read a brief (snicker) exchange on the ePlaya BBS about someone taking exception to our fascistic, sexist, ageist, etc. crusade against his inalienable right to walk around with his wobbly bits hanging out. Actually, we have no problem with anyone, of any gender, walking around at BM completely naked or topless; it’s the shirt-but-no-pants faux-pas we object to. Eventually he figured out that it was all in fun. Where will you be? perhaps we’ll stop by and say hey.
djmermaid (2004-08-26 17:35:49) Re: PANTZOOKA!!! I loved it in the paper... no wonder I never saw it when I was out and about. Well, at least my friend had fun attempting to get the pantless guys pantzooka’d. I wonder if there were a lot of them milling around wherever the paper said you were set up... pretty funny in itself. I’ve always disliked the ”Donald Duck Look” as I call the shirt-but-no-pants look. I certainly hope I can see you in action this year!

Excerpt from the 2004 Burning Man After Action Report, logistics annex:
7. Additional resources summary: a. Ammunition Seven underwear-loaded rounds of Pantzooka ammunition were prepared in the pre-deployment phase, as were six rounds of subcalibre sock-loaded ammunition. Four underwear-loaded rounds of Pantzooka ammunition were fired during the deployment phase at various targets, mostly for demonstration purposes. All were recovered. ***
In 2005, I had little time to go hunting and saw very few targets anyway. A member of my camp immortalized the Pantzooka in song:
Pants Cannon Anthem #1
- c. Comrade Durgy, 2005
When exposed genitalia really start to ail ya Use a pants cannon If from their shirt down to their toes They’re totally exposed Use a pants cannon It may be harsh that’s true But you’re spoiling my view With a range of fifty feet It’ll cover up bad meat Pants Cannon! Pants Cannon!
Refrain: It may be charged with air Or even TNT But it’s making the world better For folks like you and me It’s a slacks delivery gun Putting pantslessness on the run Pants Cannon! Pants Cannon! Pants Cannon!
When you’re seeing a free willy From someone just dressed silly Use a pants cannon If he’s dressed like Donald Duck But doesn’t give a fuck Use a pants cannon When cover up’s the goal Then call the pants patrol They’ll get there really fast To cover the bare-assed Pants Cannon! Pants Cannon!
Refrain
When a shirted guy is loose And you don’t want sofas juiced Use a pants cannon If you’re looking at a penis Or somebody’s mons venus Use a pants cannon If you cover up your tits Cover other naughty bits Please don’t be a jerk That fashion look don’t work Pants Cannon! Pants Cannon!

Pants Cannon Anthem #1
- c. Comrade Durgy, 2005
When exposed genitalia
really start to ail ya
Use a pants cannon
If from their shirt down to their toes
They’re totally exposed
Use a pants cannon
It may be harsh that’s true
But you’re spoiling my view
With a range of fifty feet
It’ll cover up bad meat
Pants Cannon! Pants Cannon!
Refrain:
It may be charged with air
Or even TNT
But it’s making the world better
For folks like you and me
It’s a slacks delivery gun
Putting pantslessness on the run
Pants Cannon! Pants Cannon! Pants Cannon!
When you’re seeing a free willy
From someone just dressed silly
Use a pants cannon
If he’s dressed like Donald Duck
But doesn’t give a fuck
Use a pants cannon
When cover up’s the goal
Then call the pants patrol
They’ll get there really fast
To cover the bare-assed
Pants Cannon! Pants Cannon!
Refrain
When a shirted guy is loose
And you don’t want sofas juiced
Use a pants cannon
If you’re looking at a penis
Or somebody’s mons venus
Use a pants cannon
If you cover up your tits
Cover other naughty bits
Please don’t be a jerk
That fashion look don’t work
Pants Cannon! Pants Cannon!

Now, aren't you sorry you asked?
