Re: Potato guns

I have 3 guns capable of launchncing starchy vegatables. with varraying levels of sucess. one with a small cumbustor chamber one with Direct propane injection and one With CO2. The Co2 gun is by far the easiest and most powerfull of the three. the direct propane injection is nice but requires hours and hours of tweeking to get the fuel/Air mixture right. and the one with the small combustor chamber was such a pain that i suddenly became very dumb. and shook up about 8 ounces of high-grade gasoline up in the chamber along with propane and lit the mixture from the rear of the gun thinking that i could close it off fafter than the fire could escape. CLearly i was incorrect. And ended up in the emergency room being treated gor second degree burns ofer the top of my hand. there is no comparison i can even imagine to the ammount of pain there is from that burn. so istick with my co2 cannon. its very easy yo use, the other night we werre shooting clear through computer cases and old laptops with it. its all fun but still very dangerous so be carefull before you do anything stupid.
