500 MJ Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Anyone else got one? My brother and I had our own firework show after we got back from the county one tonight...
TNT Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 3 foot 2" barrel with a 15" long 6" back chamber that has a 2" 45 degree angle on it that the charcoal drill lighter is mounted in. It is wrapped in ducttape and the back cover is used as a safetly blowout. I love using blackwalnuts that have just fallen from the tree and still have the green "skin" on them... Wicked, they could probably kill someone. I killed a raccoon with a walnut. :brows: aquanet and O2 from the torch is about the best propellant I've found. I want to make a half sized one as a raddish pistol. 8)
Akula69 Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 X2 on the aqua net.... We used to raid the dumpster at the old grocrey store and launch (slightly) expired veggies all night long. Eggplant is spectacular!
mvusse Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Last time I played with a spud cannon was 15 years or so ago. Using half frozen potatoes we shot one through both side of a porta-john, killed a few ground hogs and when shot at a dumpster from ~100 feet away it just left a 3' wet spot. No potatoe remains to be found. Those were the times...

500 MJ Posted July 4, 2008 Author Posted July 4, 2008 Yah, my brother hosted the video there so if you want to see it I guess you need to have an account... Spud guns are a Blast!
hemi_comanche Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Ah Spud Guns. I own too many to count. We started small one night a number of years ago and ever since got hooked. My and a buddy have build atleast 20 launchers. Now days I use 300,000 volt stun guns to ignite a largely Ethyl Ether solution, my buddy has a propane injection gun using a stun gun to ignite the mixture. Golf balls and a piece of paper towel work really well and can easily put very large dents in steel plates :) Frozen spuds are fun too!
Shadow14 Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Use hairspray as propellant gives it the extra yards. :brows:
