yeah they are illegal in a lot of states... the key is to not get caught.

me and my friend built one out at his house in the middle of nowhere, it was fucking sweet... it literally shot potatoes like 2000 feet, plus you could put just about anything else in there. We also didn't get caught... but it ended up destroying itself because we used cheapass parts.

there awsome, the problem with the standard hair spray propelled ones is that their louder than hell. And that just brings attention to you.
Try making a pneumatic power gun, there more powerful and quiet.

Yeah, we've got this sweet one. Propane works well i it. We've considered using acetylene, but that would probable blow the thing to pieces, along with us.

I built one out of PVC pipe last summer with some friends. We bought everything at home depot, even the barbeque igniter on 5 feet of wire for remote firings. The guy at the checkout totally knew what we were up to.

We used PVC cement to gule the pipes together, but watch out when using that shit cause its hella flammable (my friend couldnt wait to test it, and had flames come within inches of his face). Our chamber was really big, and had a screw on attachment at the back so you could fill it with hiarspray, screw the cap on and fire it. The thing sounded like a howitzer, and could launch a smallish potato about 2000 feet. Eventually it broke though when we put too much hiarspray in it and blew off the screw cap, which hit my house. Fuuuuuuun times though.

Me and my friends made a carbide powdered potato cannon in highschool. You put carbide in the end of it and mix with water then screw the chamber together real quick. then you hit the igniter button and holy shit we got potatoes to go like 500+ yards. my friend was trying to impress these girls that came over so he stuck a shitload of carbide in it and the barrel exploded in his hands but luckily it shatter in a forward direction instead of in his face

We pay our debt sometimes.

Thought about making one sometime because it would be fun to shoot at each other.
