Weird, all of my potato guns are made out of pvc and have 4-6' barrells :p

that seemed like a pretty weak potato gun. Mine puts huge dents in a solid metal table I shot it out.

No crap my potato gun I used to have probably coulda broke some bones, would have never shot it at a person cause it would have caused SERIOUS damage.

Heh, heh. Looks like it may be time to get mine out of the shed. What do you guys use for the fuel? I was using hairspray.

sounds like everyone here has a case of "my dick's bigger than yours". Cool vid, thanks for posting. The potato gun was powerful enough for my taste.

It seemed to work pretty well for its size. Well built, IMO. I would never shoot anybody with a full size potato cannon, that could cause serious problems. I've built a few, the last one I built had a 4x16" chamber and a 2"x5' barrel.

I built a potato gun that could shoot a steel pipe through (as in - in one side and out the other) a pretty large tree trunk. I'm certain it'd kill you if you took a chest or headshot from it.

Camcorders and the internet offer people the opportunity to show how stupid they really are.

My thoughts exactly.

kid a: "Hey, stand over there and let me shoot you with a potato!"
kid b: "Ok, sounds like a great idea!"

Exactly.

Camcorders are like beer. They can make some really dumb ideas sound worth a try.
