POTATO GUN DISCLAIMER
Before you proceed to any of the links
below we must repeat we are not responsible for any damages
that occur to you or your stuff buy using any of the information
provided here. These spud launchers are potentially dangerous.
Using the wrong fuel or the wrong pressure could result
in a permanent addition to your skull of schedule 40 PVC
pipe. Not for the faint of heart. Many of the projectiles
that you will send flying with these you will never see
again. If you blow stuff away including your head then it
is your fault and not ours nor the responsibility of the
sites listed below. Always treat a pneumatic canon with
care. Treat it as you would treat a loaded gun. Many of
these are capable of sending a projectile through multiple
pieces of 3/4" ply wood! Never fire these at an individual.
These are meant to be an indirect means to deliver a paintball
grenade to a target you can’t walk to.
If the thought of firing a poor potato into a hard surface
and having it disappear completely then these links are
for you.
Some of these plans could be adapted to
fire paint mortars of various types. Please use your head
and keep researching before you build your first one.
If you do not have a solid understanding
of the construction materials and how to work with them
in a spud launcher then PLEASE!!! don’t attempt to make
any of these.
Check
out the B.E.C.C. (Breach Loaded. Electro-Pneumatic.
Constant Air. Canon) This thing is constant air powered
by CO2. B.E.C.C.
web site.
The design is fairly elaborate, however
it performs again and again consistently.
What is a SpudZooka? It is a device that
is capable of launching a potato several hundred yards.
You may have heard it called a Spud Gun, Potato Launcher,
Potato Cannon, but it’s all the same. Pneumatic cannons
are nothing like the old combustion style. In power, there
is no comparison.
Do you know of a spud launcher that should
be on our page? Send us an e-mail
and we will give it a look. Please don’t send us links to
dangerous stuff like non-pneumatic canons because we will
not post them here.
