home made potatoe gun!!!!
here is what it looks like
it pretty much self explanitory except fot the trigger, it's a bbq ignitor attached to a 4" sewage screw drain with jb weld
it's ---- you get at your local hardware store
in the plumbing section,I don't know exact names of pieces,but if it looks right it must be. Don't forget to glue everything together.
one of the ends gets glued shut the other is left unglued so that you can unscrew it,here is where you spay the hair spray into.

That's cool. I made one the other day for my cousin. ****** was 6 feet long and shot 2 blocks. What made you use that reduced T as a combustion chamber? wouldda worked better if you just used a 4" straight pipe with a reducer.

also, you get a better shot when you spray the ---- in throuigh the barrel, then push the potato. it compreses the mixture and makes it go up considerably.

Re:home made potatoe gun!!!!
This is the ultimate potato gun. this is a one of a kind.
story time, my buddies and i were really into potato guns back in the day, and we could never figure out how to get around using an igniter and a flamable substance. his dad was a plumber so we had access to LOTS of useless pipes and ----. we made a gun that used air instead of flamables. bacially make it the same way, but put a valve in there, and on the holding tank, put a valve stem. we have went nuts with these, put gauges and all kinds of ----. our furthurest shoot was about a half a mile. 100-125psi in a small chamber will launch a potato far as hell. I made this one when i was home for christmas, we had about $10 in the entire thing. i was gonna make a write up, but we forgot the camera, and were to excited to wait to make it. :P anyways here it is...
now the best part about it is, you can fill the tank up, and use it whenever. you also know exactly when shes gonna fire. you dont have to keep clickin and ----. this one is a little different, -with the inlet, but its all we had. it worked though.
