It's called a 'chop-gun'. It both cuts a long glass rope into short length shards, and sprays them onto the wetted GRP lay-up. Like so: https://youtu.be/XHQYYRl5fjw
I found it the only economical way of quickly building up a GRP hull that has facetted surfaces and deep draft cavities. Traditional hand lay-up of glass cloth just won't cut it with such a tool of complex geometry.
Also, using industrial spray equipment to lay down the PVC barrier and gel-coat expedited the work immensely.
