pics please..i never seen one before..

 

Everyone's favorite gun owner has one too. It is very fun.

For something of a similar ilk, check out Pumpkin Chunkin. I went the DE Pumpkin Chunkin' and they had pneumatic cannons that threw a pumpkin OVER A MILE!

No kiddin'

 

For fear of prosecution, just look it up on the net. you can DL the plans for these pretty easy.
Build it in an hour or so, and giggle your ass off.

But, a word of warning!!!! They can be really dangerous. They seem like a toy, but if anyone got within 50' of the aiming posistion, call the ambulance quick!!!

 

Awww Screw it He're the first link I found

Check this site out: http://www.spudtech.com/

A guy on there, who happens to be from Austin, built a gun out of aluminum that is bolt-action, rifled barrel, has a laser sight, and the fuel is oxygen and propane stored in two separate tanks in a backpack. It can shoot a spud through a 3/4" piece of plywood at 50 yards. You've got to see it to believe it.

This site also sells rifled PVC barrels if you want your homemade spudgun to be more accurate.

That is an awesome site. Me thinks one of those aluminum beauties will be in my hands by the end of winter

 

We built one while I was in school and launched potatoes off the top of our house in Boston WELL into the Charles River. My friend built one that used a barbecue grill lighter, except he used propane as the fuel. Because that stuff doesn't light by itself, you need a booster, so we used hairspray, too.

They launched one spud into a brick wall just a few feet away and the potato was totally pulverized and rained down in tiny pieces. Unbelievable.

 

Believe it or not , my son and I just shot his neighbors. It is a hoot!! Can probably make one for $35. I will have one very soon.

 

for you people with nothing to do:

1. do a web search on "punkin chunkin"

2. get a 2 litre coke bottle, shred aluminum foil in it, take toilet bowl cleaner, (MUST have hydrochloric acid) Personal favorite: The Works available at wal mart. pour into the bottle and throw.


3. for the Campfire girls among us: when the coals get REALLY hot, place a beer BOTTLE, (not can) on the ashes and get away.
fast..............

 

That's kids' stuff. How about a potato gun with a mach 1 muzzle velocity? The BFPG-9000.

Unfortunately, the guy's site is no longer up. There used to be all sorts of technical info and movies of stuff blowing. Yeah. It rocked.
