**BE SURE TO WATCH IN HD**

So me and my son made a potato cannon on April 3, 2009. And after letting it dry for 24 hours we decided to take it out and shoot it. Me, my son, my wife, and our neighbor had such a good time firing it, that I thought ya'll might enjoy it.

Note: This is shot on a digi-cam that my wife (for some reason) shot sideways. so its kinda silly looking. BUT MAKE SURE YOU WATCH IN HD. The final shot (the instant replay) is set to one-sixth (1/6) speed.... so you can imagine how fast its moving.

simply beautiful, Rellik! :) you are my hero
ROCK-IT! :D cept... please don't stuff it w/cups, plates, or stimpacks ;)
 
heh, down here in florida we use kudzu, it basically looks like a potato & it grows on vines all over the joint down here. lots of fun to shoot & pretty much infinite ammo :) out in the swamps we shoot the kudzu @ each other instead of paintball or something less dangerous, was loads of fun
 
That's crazy ! I've made a pneumatic gun once..

i remeber when i was a little kid i had a potato gun and i used to steal all the potatoes and shoot neighbors with it it was so much fun xD
 
LOL rellik lovin' the ginger beard :P BTW how did you make that thing, cos it looks like a real beast. It was pretty awesome, its ahsmae you didn't show it landing just to see how far it went.
 
HAHA what s kick that thing has. It shot the potatoe straight to the MOON!!

Now we don't need to worry about alien invasion, we'll just shoot potatoes at theme with your cannon :biggrin:

Seriously though, good job, looks awesome :)
 
LOL, I'll be sure to never ask for an extra potato (NO E!!!!) when I come over for dinner.

Yeah, at work i can't grow a beard... so since i'm out of work right now i figured what the hell. and as far as it landing, hell no. it flies atleast 100-200 yards easy, and i shot it out into the brush... lol

It is ahsmae. That gun is amazing. You should paint some potatoes like sticky bombs and dress up as a demoman.

GOOD IDEA!
Actually i made the thing, then fired it off on the next day just cuz i wanted to make sure everything worked. eventually i'll probably make a trigger grip, and ~might~ paint it.. but i kinda like these things in PVC white... so i may not

I love potato guns. Did you use starter fluid or hair spray?

oh yeah forgot to answer this one:
Right Guard aerosol.

I used to use AquaNet hairspray cuz its cheap. But it ends up leaving everything all sticky.
with RGa not ONLY do you not end up with a sticky situation (OH YEAH I WENT THERE!) but the area all around you smells great!

You used to shoot your neighbors with a potato launcher? You do realize being shot by this could cause broken bones and cuts?:glare:
