 Re: Tator Gun !!!
I built one in high school. We shot a tater from the Marshall High School Football Field to the roof of Pizza Hut. That thing was badass. We used choke cleaner instead of aquanet though.

 Re: Tator Gun !!!
I built one in college! Hilarious! We launched it off the 4th story parking garage went clear across the freeway!  Can't wait to see it at Caddo Brooks

 Re: Tator Gun !!!

 Re: Tator Gun !!!
We used to use water soluble balls the kind that we would pig lines with sometimes,they are made to fit the inside diameter of the pipe and they are bad ass. Its like a 2" ball of really hard wax,we used to get alot of distance with them. We also used to shoot eggs with the paper towel wads.

 Re: Tator Gun !!!
Spud guns just happen to be a hobby of mine and the ones that use hairspray, starter fluid and propane all seem a little messy and under powered. A SCUBA regulator puts out a secondary pressure of 135-165 PSI and compressed air sends potatoes much further than hair spray. Check out this link or go to Backyard Ballistics and be amazed. http://users.frii.com/bsimon/pngun.htmI have found that six feet of 1 1/2" Schedule 40 pvc and 3 1/2 feet of 3" schedule 40/80 pvc for the air chamber works great. I used to have one mounted on the deck of my boat for a deck gun.
