Quite nice to see a reasonably balanced and accurate report.
I do get the slight feeling that there's a bit of negatives in it, but based on what can be seen on Youtube, you can hardly blame them for some.

However, as the only report I have yet seen that sets the facts mostly right, and for not just condemning spudguns, I congratulate the author.
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

Today's episode of "Ellen" had a guy on with several small combustion spud guns. Ellen was blasting a big tarp with spuds. (little squirt-n-screw contraptions built out of what looked like a 2" Y with piezo ignitors, a couple even had clear barrels).

The guy also squirted a bit of ethanol into a 5 gallon plastic water bottle and ignited it with the piezo.

We wont go into why I was watching "Ellen" today. :o
