Bluesape Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I've used one - hilarious fun! Ya can get a tater flyin' over 100 yards with right accelerant. We used hair spray, and it was a blast! Never a DUH! moment! Well, almost never. OK, OK! Sometimes never! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Yeti Bigfoot, Esq. Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Those things are a ton of fun, and easy to build. But...check your local laws before building and using them. They are now illegal in a lot of places (I'm not real sure why, though...I guess the anti-fun patrol objected).

King Kamehameha Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Mr. Bass Jerk has one....I've tried it. They're so much fun! But they are illegal here, I think. Back when we were friends we had plenty of "bonfires" and stuff. His parents didn't even care. Pretty cool.

Shoes Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Oh my... well up here in Canada we have some RULES ya know.... Anything with a velocity greater than 152.4 meters or 500 feet per second is considered a Firearm under Federal Statutes and as such must be registered. This includes Potato, Pumpkin and Squash Guns but strangely.... not Catapults and there's no limit on the number of cats you can have in the chamber either! I usually shoot a Persian snub nose. I still think guitars are like shoes, but louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gifthorse Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Those look cool. I wonder if that would hurt to get hit by a potato? I know if I had a potato gun, I would use it way too much. Those things look pretty powerful. If I was 15 again I am sure I would build one!! http://flagshipmile.dmusic.com/ http://www.myspace.com/gifthorse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard reports of people being seriously injured by: 1. Being shot with one at close range 2. The combustion chamber exploding in their face from either using too much propellant or an improper propellant. In the states that outlaw them, that was the catalyst for the laws. It's like anything else. If you use a little common sense, it's safe enough. If you're an idiot, someone might get hurt.

King Kamehameha Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Me and Mr. Bass Jerk just used compressed air. Less fun, but safer for sure.

King Kamehameha Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I mean, as fuel. We did use a potato. To clear that up.

Gifthorse Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I handed out potatos on Halloween once when I was in my 20's. The kids probably thought they were 'hooked' when they felt the wieght. I wouldn't do that now, but then living with my band we had a blast doing it. 1 potato 2 potato etc.. Sometimes you do stuff when you are young you wouldn't do now, thats one of them! http://flagshipmile.dmusic.com/ http://www.myspace.com/gifthorse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
