First spudgun.. (mini)

Miniature guns are novelty custom, unique, and sometime downright crude! Common construction materials often include pill bottles or pens. Show us your work!

Hello!

This is my first mini-spudgun (first spudgun), well.. An attempt to it.. It works tho, but I've seen better looking spudguns before :lol: ..

Anyway, here's a movie of it. (sorry about the crappy quality, the battery of my good camera was empty, this is a webcam :( )

What do you guys think of it? What improvements does it need, what are the good points..

Cheers!

not a bad job. i would consider making a "real" spud gun though.
(not saying that that one isn't, its just that you haven't had the real rush until you shot a full sized potato from a gun that you made yourself. Not to sound corny, but its one of the best feelings in the world).

[commense ranting]Well I completely disagree with that in almost every way.
Me and sthorne have been have a big ol competition on the smallest combustion and I would say it was much more fun than making/using a "normal" one
see my sig,i have had the most fun with the "launcher" there than any other Ive ever made[end ranting]

Anyways nice mini
a longer barrel would benifit performance but is not really nessasary considering the scale of it.

yeah, i mean, it is really cool when you do shoot a full sized tator gun, but you can get as much thrill from a mini as you can with a full sized combustion. It all depends on who you are and what your personality is like.

EDIT: Oh, by the way....Welcome to Spudfiles!

its always a good idea to start with a mini that way you can learn how important fuel to air mixtures are without blowing up youre hand
