How did you all get into Spudding?

[wannabie]

Well for me it was my mum she is a high school science teacher and her school had made a tennis ball launcher ( it was a combustion and i was like 9 ) and i said mum i want one then she said only if you figure out how to make one your self which put me off since i was only like 9 the 4 years later me and my freind made a tennis ball launcher it was fun but we got bored of it so i found this site oneday while trying to find plans for somthing beter now im hooked

god i had fun with this thing........ my house still smells like mint.

it got me into spudding because one day i drilled a hole in the top of one of the fim cans and stuck a pen tube in, dropped an airsoft bb in, and BLAMO it worked!!!!!!! hehe...

anyways, i reccomend getting one of those film can cannons just to have around. theyre fun, and you can use them indoors. could also have fun at the office

well i got into spudding by one night i was looking and watching videos on youtube probly about blowing crap up or somthing along the lines of that. when i came a cross a video that ended up been a bout tater guns it looked so cool i linked the video to my friend and he said we are making one of those this weeekend and we did they were one of the coolest things i made both mine and my friend could lob a potato the size of a large baseball dimond that is how i got hooked on spudding.

I got into this by... well, I can't remember. probobly when I was looking for film-can-cannon plans. I wish I could build a spudgun already but I'm on a vacation to my cousins down south at the moment. I'll just have to wait..

Come to think of it I have no idea how I got into spudding. I'm guessing I got the idea somewhere on the internet and then just googled a bunch of stuff and ended up here asking people for help.

Same as mister steve here. I just felt like launching something and I ended up building a cannon.

Yes, but I have a hole clean though my ceiling which says it's a bad alternative to using them outside

I have a bedroom wall that looks like a good day in lebanon that suggest the same

I was browsing the vTeen.com forums when someone, in the off-topic discussion forum, asked for the exact outside diameter of a tennis ball. Of course I asked what for, and he replied he was making an attachment for his poattao cannon. Googled it, found PVC Ballistics and built the basic pneumatic. I still have it and it still works. The only thing stopping me from advancing is the cost. A student with no money sucks.

Unlike most people, I started on pneumatics.

Through a blend of water guns (my other weird hobby), and my mad brother, I eventually started on a very basic pneumatic, made out of three hose fittings and a bit of hose, half a water gun to pressurise with, a plastic bottle, a bit of electrical tape, and about 3 feet of DWV (wierd, I've only just noticed that, but when I read that, I always read it D-V-W, rather than D-W-V. But I still type it DWV. What's even weirder is if I type DVW, I read it as D-W-V.) pipe, I made something that would chuck a battery or grape about 150 feet.

Messing around with several friends (but with no shooting of each other I am glad to say), we distributed a bunch of grapes about this area.

Ok, after that, then came the ball valve pneumatic - then the sprung loaded one... and it continued from there really.

Awesome, I'm not the only one who started on Pneumatics. I started out with some 3" cell core pipe and a gate valve. Pumping it up to 30-50 psi and shooting raquet balls.
