Re: Potato guns

That picture of someone holding a potato cannon on their shoulder should be on the Darwin Awards website. PLEASE do not hold a potato cannon next to your head when you fire it. About 10 feet away with an electrical switch is about minimum. Behind a row of sandbags would be better.

I especially disapprove of holding the combustion chamber

next to the head. Really, really dumb. Really.

Disclaimer: my son and I own and operate a small cannon. I've never held it next to my head. I have talked to owners of exploded cannons.
