Well, obviously you start with the simple ones that only total newbs believe, like:
There is a myth amongst some people that a combustion spudgun is more powerful the more fuel you put in it.
and:
If you put too much fuel in a combustion, it can explode.
Then you move on to the questions that newbs ask, like:
Are DWV fittings "safe" for low pressures or combustion?
PVC vs. ABS
Pneumatic vs. Combustion
Or you could just skip clean over those ones, on to the real questions:
Is acetylene as dangerous a fuel as it's set out to be?
What sort of practical maximum range can different types of spudgun achieve?
How likely is DDT in various hybrid mixes and chamber shapes, and how does turbulence increase this risk?
What dangers does an oxygen enriched mix create towards safety?
How possible is a full auto combustion?
How close can you get to the sound barrier with a conventional pneumatic or combustion?
How much does a chamber fan/spark strip/multiple sparks add to a combustion's performance?
Are there effective ways of reducing a combustion's heat loss that will increase performance?
How does porting the barrel end affect accuracy, range and velocity?
What pressures does a combustion actually generate?
How much do extra bends in the design reduce performance?
Now those are some questions I would like to know the answers to. What we need now are some dedicated Spudbusters, a handful of leverage with a few companies, a few contacts, some advertising revenue, and a budget to work with.
Novacastrian: How about use whatever the heck you can get your hands on?
frankrede: Well then I guess it won't matter when you decide to drink bleach because your out of kool-aid.
...I'm sorry, but that made my year.
