potato cannon

[Jeff Rodriguez]

Do you mean ones that can be used at events, or just ones we have?

Me and my friends built a few. They're about 4' long. 3'x2" PVC barrel and a 1'x4"? combustion chamber. That's right combustion. The back screews off, you spray something flammable in the combustion chamber, close it up quick, and pull the trigger (a grill spark lighter). We shot potatoes about 2 football fields, and apples a little farther (they're jucier and slide better).

it's very similar to this one

The first one i made is about 7 feet long, and has a total of... 7 pieces of PVC. And its painted camo.

The second one is under 3' long but you can fire it every 20 seconds as long as you don't run out of crab apples.

You, I believe, win. Got any more details on that? dimensions, muzzle velocity, max psi, range, ammunition? (plus any cool exploits with said machine?)
