Potato Guns/ Air Cannon's

[2003eclipse]

I dont know how many of you have ever built or gotten to fire a potato gun, but its endless fun and never stops entertaining me.

What i'm getting at is... Would anyone be up for constructing some potato/ air cannons to fire misc. objects such as mass quanities of paint balls, potatos, golf balls etc at down range targets and possibly having like a group get together to fire them off.

There are basically two types of firing power you can use combustable fuel and compressed air. I know there are a few people on here that like to over engineer everything to the max and build things. There is an unlimited supply of directions and ideas on the net. If it seems to dangerous AJ you can go ahead and delete this... Just throwing the idea out there.

lol Tom in "COLLAGE" you should have spent more time paying attention to the teachers.

Wow the more and more I look around online the possibilities are endless and I just can figure out if i want to shoot beer cans tennis balls galf balls or what. But i'm on my way to menards to buy everything. Since the first one I built 6 years ago was stolen.

Golf balls were always my favorite.

Aquanet is THE potato gun fuel! Starter fluid works even better but is much harder on the gun.

I have two potato guns at home, one is PVC the other is metal pipe. My roomate and I have been tossing around the idea of making a paintball mortar based on a potato gun for quite some time now. We're just trying to decide what to use as a wadding inbetween the charge and balloon.

I made one out of a super soaker once. It was compact and you got 10+ shots out of a single potato.

don't mean to hijack the thread, but has anyone built a sparkler bomb? I have a computer case on video I blew up last summer, I'll post it in the video section. Anyway I'm building a super manly one this year, you guys should look it up on youtube.

LOL Sparkler Bomb's are alot more dangerous than potato cannons. Jesus christ do a gross or a bunch of them and OMG them are loud.

I've never messed with Potato Guns though. Only sparkler bombs.
