AWSOME!!!! =\
I finally got my spudgun work thanks 2 PCGUY!....I used rightguard deodorant.....thats why it didnt work b4...Im using butane right now and my spudgun works 1 out of 5 tries.I dont know why people's cannons are so loud..mines really quiet, its so quiet my friend that was next to me didnt even hear it fire.I shot a pingpong ball wrapped in duck tape, a couple of spuds, and a ball of paper......guess how far i could shoot?! A WHOLE 5 YARDS!!I kno..it sucks...why wont my cannon shoot far? 5 seconds after I shot my pingpong ball, I accidently hit the igniter and it fired again(does that have n e thing to do with it?), my friend was right in front of it when it fired, but luckily, there was nothing in the barrel. I bet even if there was something in the barrel it wouldnt hurt him at all cuz my cannon cant shoot more than 5 yards. I built the cannon thats on spudtech (10'' chamber, 36'' barrel).

1 out of 5 doesn't sound very consistent either, so i'm betten it's the ignition, it don't take a lot of butane to get a big bang
use the butane refills you can get them from gas station counter tops/ebay/dollar store
useing a lighter will get costly and lighters are metered down way to far to get enough fuel to light, 1 little squirt from a refill will give you plenty
25% fuel/butane way to much fuel useing butane
what kind of igniter are you useing?

I am using a camera flash igniter and the problem was that the screws were 2 far apart, so I moved them closer. The reason that it didnt shoot far was because i didnt have enough tape aroun the pingpong ball to make a good seal.Today I managed to shoot a mini orange about 300 yards.
