Harness the power of precision mixtures of pressurized flammable vapor. Safety first! These are advanced potato guns - not for the beginner.

Of course, it all really depends on how efficient the cannon is. If the C:B ratio is good, it shouldn't be too loud. My 8 1/2 foot combustion just makes this dull "fump" kind of noise, but it chucks taters a good 200 yards at least.

Oh, who's that in your new avatar?

Ya I have a 3/8" outlet and I don't know what to use as a barrel, I have only 8$ to spend on getting a 3/8" union and a barrel+adapters.
I want to use 1/2" pvc but connecting it will be a issue, but It shouldn't cost that much. I will have a slight bottleneck though.
Maybe I can find a 1/4" pipe in some odd material that will work.
off to lowes I go!

edit.
This hybrid has been dissabsembled and parts have been salvaged.
there will be a new hybrid, Stinger-mkII

It is, Its posted.
But I can't get it to fire, at a 1x mix, maybe my spark gap is too small.
It really is small.
