I have gotten bored lately so I built a spud gun or so called tater cannon. I use right guard right now and I have been able to launch taters over 300 yards or more. I am working on one with interchangable barrels, and also getting me a rifled barrel. Next I am putting the fittings into one for propane, or oxygen and mapp. The first one I ever shot, we used mapp and oxygen and shot a potato through a 1/4" piece of plywood.anyone made any fun toys, wolfie your robots dont count
unless its a combustion engine robot..
edit: well they count, but we all know about those fun toys

yup you got the idea except mine shoots way farther than that. I want to hit one of the neighbors cows, but they are always home when I am out shooting .dave
edit: mine has a 5 foot barrel and about a foot long combustion chamber.. and screw that bbq ignitor I use a modified stun gun lol..
