My friend shot a bird feeder and it disintegrated! Couldn't find a piece bigger than a dime... but got the gun confiscated.

I shot a chunk of semi-rotting apple through the backboard on my basketball goal. The hole is a constant reminder Search for the "spudway" webring

a person i know shot an unloaded spud gun into his eye, nearly blinded him, and yes it was an accident

Personally I find the air powered ones safer. Example

I have built a few of them myself. They are powered by combustion using hairspray. If you make a potato gun that works with combustion, make sure you use an electric grill igniter. They never fail and always produce a huge spark

those mustard and ketchup bottles you see in resturaunts work great for testing them out. reusable and cheap. just make sure it's empty (duh). only shoot about 40 feet but gives you an idea of how the gun is working without wasting potatoes.

Ahhh, the good ol' days! We used to shoot spuds all over the place. So much fun!

BTW, we usually used lighter fluid for fuel.
