potato cannon’s can have such an effect on people’s life they can ruin them by killing you because of doggy making or they can enhance the pleasure of living.
Myself being a keen potato cannon enthuasist am making an egg fro what potato cannons can be used for.
1. Shooting at stray animals(good fun)
2. Roof rocking neighbours house (don’t hit any windows)
3. Practicing tennis volleys (don’t stand to close)
4. Playing wars (can get serious quite easily)
5. Scaring away people from your house (firing blanks)
6. Damaging peoples car and front door (usually drive by)
7. Starting bon fires (if u have a huge fire with heaps of flammable substances on it and your not dumb enough to light it, shoot a flaming potato at it and will catch everything else problem solvered)
8. Putting holes in street signs (with frozen ammo)
here are some useful tips
always use PVC pipe because others aren’t pressure rated
never shoot when glue is still wet
the ratio of oxygen to propellent is 90% oxygen 10% propellent
never use buntane as a propellent because burns at to high a temp and could melt chamber
when using potato cannon always wear a helmet
if neighbours ask you to stop> practice your aim on there front windows.
thats the most primitive design: a screw-cap on the back, and a small hole in the side of the chamber. spray propellant inside, quickly screw the cap, put match to hole.
May 18, 2005 4:25 am - we have experimented heaps with "potato" guns and such. including rifles, snipers, shot guns and a huge cannon that will decapitate a person at 150 meters.
i have a pic of the basic gun on my website.http://www.farmal ama.com/badass.htm
Jun 30, 2005 12:41 pm - hi, i know sum 1 with an "orange cannon", and he also finds it fun to fire tennis balls soaked in petrol (like fireworks). The blast ignites it
Aug 13, 2005 5:34 pm - better ammo... actually, u should "acquire" some blast wadding (like for model rockets) and some sea fishing weights....the resulting shot can easily pierce a car
Aug 16, 2005 5:09 am - sick rocker (love accadacca). me and my mate are making one, 5inch combustion chamber with 3 inch barrel. I love ur list of ideas. Easy 5*. this’ll go in my favourite list
Oh, butane burns at a low temperature. Thats why you don’t see people crying after they light their hands with butane.
If you wanna light flammable shit from distances, light magnesium or sparkelers (probably batter cause they are cheaper and easier to get than magnesium is) and stick them in the potato. Oh yeah, light them too before you shoot them. It will be so hot that at the speed they’re going the flame won’t be put out. Nifty, huh?
Jan 26, 2006 2:52 pm - im really curious on how to make potato guns.
could anyone give me an egg link so i could build them?
i have read that one where he killed 3 dogs with it
so it would be a discrace to learn from him, but anyways cool egg, 5 stars
