A device for launching using compressed fluid, comprises: a projectile, a barrel having two ends, the projectile being positioned inside the barrel, a first of the two ends allowing the compressed fluid to enter the barrel, a second of the two ends allowing the projectile to leave, a reservoir of compressed fluid connected to the first of the two ends of the barrel. A connecting device comprises a first tape, able to make the transition from a configuration in which it is wound about an axis Z around a support to a configuration in which it is deployed along an axis X substantially perpendicular to the axis Z, the tape having an end fixed to the projectile, and wherein the support is fixed in the barrel.
