Yeah, building spudguns indirectly benefits you hugely. It makes you think in a certain way and builds up your skills and helps you be creative... unlike TV watching. Meh maybe its just me but it makes me think in a destructive way. anything i see I tend to think of how i could turn it into a cool ...
haha. well I made a mini earlier out of a huge thick vitamin bottle, the material reminds me of pvc almost :S well its got this tiny barrel out of an air soft gun. its shooting the BB's as far as i think you can shoot them with their weight. theres a sweet pop to it. but i blew the back off it at on...
mounting it on my roof and declaring war on my neighbors across the street. Muahahaha! that sounds awesome! I get "teased" in my family because I build spudguns, but its all in good humour. The kids at my school have a certain respect for me BECAUSE i build spudguns (I'd never shoot anyone.. but th...
try making a giant catapult to fill your time then launch entire boxes of potatos and then rent it to those stupid midevil fares and score some cash actually i've been thinking about building a mini trebuchet for a long time. Not a table top one but like 6ft maybe. but then I get these weird day dr...
Dude, would you be offended if I called you weird... only kidding, I think we all get it to a certain extent.. some just more than others... My suggestion: get a girlfriend btw, that glass story sounds pretty dodgy! Been called weird so often.. had a friends pot head brother (guys like 25) sayin we...
For years Ive been shooting/building combustion cannons. but lately i cant stomp thinking about them. lately i havnt stopped building ghetto lil cannons. actauly up untill yesterday i hadnt slept for almost a week. (i slept 16 hours last night to yesterday though) and the whole time i was building s...
[/quote] Well I'm 19 and I've tried to convince my dad of many things. All the logic, arguments and scientific proof in the world couldn't convince that man of anything. You might as well get used to that part...[/quote] naw my father has cancer luckily. he'll be dead before too long (never liked th...
Well you could try to teach them about cannons and what not. but they're right its ..improbable. they probably wont listen to you. im almost 18 and my parents still treat me like im a 6 year old idiot, and i've been in college since I was about 16. Just don't bring it up for a good while and then wa...

ok, ive got it. a guy is walking along with a baseball bat, and a potato launcher. he decides to have some fun, so he goes to load up the launcher, using the bat as a ramrod. however, the bat is too short, so he throws it away into the night (and accidentally, yet solidly, thumps someone) he then s...
You are most likely using aerosol fuels. Because of the inability to precisely measure the fuel, the pressure spike (especially with a touch hole) is nowhere near that of a propane cannon. I still use DWV ABS for basic combustion cannons, but I no longer use it to construct propane combustions, as ...
sweet gun man. im racking my brain tryin to think of what matierials i could use to build another mini. lookin at the update pic, a quick paint job an the gun would be sick.
ive been building DWV ABS cannons for years. never had a problem. im as low tech as you get. i brace the gun on my thigh and light it with a bic. have the scars to prove it. but ive never had the materials fail on me. had my first one for probably four years. dont anymore cause it was at a friends a...
