The Spud Gun

i was looking online one time and came across a couple pictures of a spud gun and thought it was really cool.The next day i went to Shooter4's house and asked him if he knew anything about it. He had one of his friends over the next day and were building a full scale Spud Gun. It took a few hours to construct. Useing a Grill igniter attached to a pipe that served as the gas chamber, we were soon blowing tennis balls 300 yards in the air useing the propellent of Right Guard deodarant spray(butane, isobutane, propain).
A few days later, we spray painted it black and put a handle on the balance point with the intentions of nameing it the "ASG200"(Assualt Spud Gun 200 Calibiar). Tomorrow this spud gun will be going to the range and shooting potatos 2 inches in diameter.

    Sounds like a riot to me. You should make up another one and make it look like a WWII mortar. Then all the old timers would be gatherd around you cheering you on! LOL![:D]

    So would that make the flechette cartridge for it nothing more than overcooked frenchfries? My neighbor and I made one a long time ago to piss off our mutual neighbor who would throw his kids dirty diapers in our yards. So we built one and ever time he'd throw a dirty diaper in either of our yards we'd grab it, shove it down the barrel and fire it at his air conditioner on his roof. His house had to smell funky because often the diaper would impact the side of his AC and it'd splatter it's contents all over the vents.

    Back in 1996 when I was still working for the Alaska Department of Fish & Game we made one at a weir project I was working on. We used to load apples and old potatoes in it and shoot the Black Bear that were on the other side of the river eating the morts that got caught up on the weir. Didn't hurt them, but sure was funny watching them trying to figure out what was going on.
