It's definitely a G-force thing. If I remember correctly from Mythbusters, the human limit is about 10 Gs before losing consciousness, 15 Gs before suffering internal organ damage, and about 20 Gs before instant death.

Hmm; so about 14Gs + a good long barrel and I should be able to launch a baby at least to Mach 2 or 3.

Stopping might be a problem, but that's one for whoevers gonna catch it.
