I wouldnt mind making one of these to use at my cottage this summer as they look like alot of fun. Anyone have any tips on how to make one and what the best materials to use are?
 
Not even going to do what I do for n00bs and post the actual link this time.

Try www.google.com and when it says "what would you like me to find" try putting in... here's the kicker... WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

I'd suggest starting with "potato gun" and looking at the second link.

Title of thread: Spud / Potato gun schematic ?

Main question: Anyone have any tips on how to make one and what the best materials to use are?

EDIT: Look at my above post... something tells me you could find that there too. Just a hunch though.
 
just don't look down the barrel when the gun fails to fire like that kid a few months ago...

What happend to his head/face?

He died.

Oh...the gun was loaded with a frog. They probably had to dig frog out of his face beofre the funeral. I am betting that it wasn't an open casket.
 
i made one a few years back out of PVC. it was powered by WD-40 and a piezo barbecue ignitor. Pretty cool until i stupidly stuffed a rock down the barrel. It failed to fire, and luckily didn't explode in my face. I realized my retardedness at that moment and was afraid to play with again. Lesson of the day: don't play with homemade firearms/pyrotechnics

He didn't die. He was blinded.

propellant im thinking

There's always the typical spud gun that uses hairspray, with about a 2.5 to 3 inch diameter chamber on the back, and a 1 inch barrel. Works decently, not THAT dangerous, unless you're an idiot.

Mine is a pneumatic, since i figured it'd be cheaper than propellent, i wasnt paying for the parts, and because I planned on making a rapid fire model using a CO2 tank. Hasnt been tested though, it's been shelved, like any other half-ass project.
