We all know that spudding has a bad repuation in the eyes of he public. But seriously are people trying to get the hobby banned? Let's ask youtube.

I've seen a lot of these. And I left some nice comments on one or two! This should be stickied under the title MUST READ! WHAT NOT TO DO!, and then everyone posts the things they see that are dangerous about the videos. Nice finds!

Stupid people will always exist it seems. :shock:
Also I must say all of those movies were based on combustion chambers too.
No matter what the "sport" there will always be videos like these floating around. I agree it gives a bad name too spudders but considering how many people do it there will always be a few bad apples in every bunch
Personally I am a fan of Pneumatics. :P

Edit: Also that last movie, it could have broken his leg. As for that bucket what would that have done....blast splinters in his groin along with a bruise he wont soon forget or worse.

I think something should be gathered from this information. The vast majority of these cannons are spray n' pray combustions. Most of these are built with unacceptable materials that are very unsturdy and dangerous. The obvious identifier in all of these situations is ignorance. Any logical person should be able to deduce that anyone on spudfiles (hopefully) is not this ignorant and does at least some sort of research before building a cannon. So, congratulations, everybody, for being somewhat intelligent and for the most part building cannons correctly.
I find myself at the end of this rant realizing that i have just written total blubber with no actual content except that ignorance sucks and many spray and pray cannons are unsafe. ok

in the last video, were they shooting at gravestones???? Stupid inconsiderate blechy people....

someone asked me today if i would shoot them with my "potato cannon". They assumed that beacsue it supposedly shot potatoes it was harmeless......

Of course, i dont even shoot potatoes, and a Nail to any part of you at 900 FPS is BAD............

If they would just do the math, they would realize that they might as well be shooting a .22 at their friend.......

Screwed either way :lol:

Mildly depressing as a safety obsessive to see so many badly built cannons exploding one after the other.
