I built one years ago that used a spark igniter. We shot hairspray into it as fuel. Didn’t have any potatoes, but I had a bunch of apples that were bigger than the bore. So I sharpened the outer edge of the bore where if you took the Apple and rotated it, it would cut and make a perfect fit. Then all of the peelings would fold in behind it, went outside in the backyard to test it. We had had an ice storm the night before so all the tree limbs had a quarter inch of ice on them. When I shot that thing off, it went up into the tree and it was like shrapnel cutting through the tree limbs. as the limbs are raining down around me all I could think of was “coooool!”

Built one when I was 12 years old.
Decades ago tennis balls were sold in metal cans. Three balls per can, so they were long cans. Punctured the bottom of three cans, taped them together and placed a hole on the bottom side of the fourth can. Poured about 3 oz of alcohol into the cans and spun them around to get alcohol all the way down to the bottom can. Dropped a tennis ball into the top can. Ball could not go further down because the bottom of the top three cans was only punctured. Took a match to the only hole on the side of the bottom can, and booooooom. The tennis ball went so far up in the air we could barely see it.
My next adventure was more complicated. Home made gun powder. Followed by a homemade pipe bomb. Buried the bomb and blew it up leaving a three foot wide crater. But I was 13 by then and more responsible. Set up a perimeter and wore safety glasses 😅

There is a story in my Family about my Great Grandfather. Apparently he always carried around a flask with calcium carbide in it. One summer, at a family gathering at a lake, they dug a hole in the beach and put one of those metal Milk jugs into it and filled the hole around it, leaving just the top exposed. They broke the glass off a light bulb, draped it into the jug, put some of the Calcium Carbide into the vessel along with a little water, and hammered the bung into the top. They then backed off and waited a few moments for the hydrogen gas to develop then touched the wires to a battery.
The story claims there was a gout of flame 10 feet tall, and a horrendous boom. The bung what blown straight up, out of sight, whistling as it went.
They heard the whistling die out, the start up again. They looked at each other and remembered the adage, what goes up, must come down, and they all scurried for cover. Under trees, under cars, in a house.
When the bung landed, 30 feet from where it started, it did so in a small wooden row boat, which gracefully settled into the lake in a few feet of water.
No indication if anyone got in trouble for the event.

I wrapped golf balls in bright orange duct tape and turned em into slug rounds 😂

[@denise5556]

Wow! Good home defense idea when shit hits the fan!

[@siegfried7469]

You forgot the "do not try this at home" BS .
Just as well!
That looks like alotta fun and I can't wait to try it myself

[@Detroit_fan_81]

Bro said "ww3? Nah I got my new sniper"

[@johnqueen2754]

It's that new one called the tubber😂

[@kathleenboggan6616]

Hair spray works also

[@samuelvolker5647]

We always use Final Net hairspry

[@dukecityfisherman5788]

It dose but makes everything sticky. Starter fluid doesn't, seems dangerous but if you use too much it won't ignite, i use like 1/8th of what this guy used and it would have been too much if he didnt vent it out a bit by blowing.

[@joshuadulaney5559]

Aque net pink and lantern flint striker 😂

[@MrJustincrowden]

Auqunet what we used but I was 13 new not to get Dad's stuff but it was the 80s hair spray was abundant 😎

[@hockeyguy2005]

​@@MrJustincrowdenaqua net and right guard are core memories for me. I might of been 8 and going to the ice rink and thought I'd Try deodorant for the first time cuz I use to sweat like a champ and not knowing put aqua net under my arms 😂😂.. Thankfully I hadn't hit puberty so hairless but still damn sticky

[@Coloradohomestead22]

When I was a kid in the 70s, my brother and I made tennis ball launchers from beer and soda cans. Good times!

[@RazingthenRaising]

Someone I knew when I was a teen built one. We found that just a small squirt of hairspray was all we needed.

[@sailingwithyoshi]

Ive been wanting to build one and paint it black and mount it on my sailboat on a turret

[@brandongardner9829]

Fk yeah go for it I say

[@ronr.riekensii2134]

Cool idea till the coasties mistake you for Blackbeard

[@benfromalbuquerque6083]

Don’t you people already have those “signal cannons”?

[@sailingwithyoshi]

@benfromalbuquerque6083 they have em but I thought it would be cheaper and funner if it was a potato gun mounted to a turret on the front but yea they have signal cannons! Also I have a barrel to a c130 I believe it's 40mm and I think that would work with modifications! If a breach was put on the back

[@thomasarussellsr]

More like a potato Howitzer.😊

[@Stand1ngBear]

Seeing this makes me want to go get a bunch of pvc piping and make a Saturn V rocket model with launch capability.

[@yerretson1504]

If you tried anything like this in the UK, you'd have armed response from the police in under three seconds. 😂

[@samueljennings1275]

Carter pin through the pvc at the base helps keep it in the barrel and not falling in the chamber

[@spencernun-ya8462]

It's cotter just so you know for next time

[@Thrillhouse84]

I was gonna say the same thing, good idea though! Cotter pins have come in many a pinch! ​@spencernun-ya8462

[@user-xo3ug1zq9c]

As a kid growing up these were fun toys don't see these to often now

[@wramsey2656]

His cousin called and said, “hey i am out of potatoes for breakfast, can u send me over one?”

[@lanegerry4269]

Back before technology we use to launch pumpkins. A mile is my record.

Punkin chunkin!

[@FodgatherOfFootballNFantasyz]

The Punkin Chunkin event is still 1 of the greatest watches that's out there!

[@Cars53744]

Oh buddy, you’re playing with fire😳

[@drewishaf]

Pre-drug Bam Margera has an enormous launcher......

[@noway905]

Old man walking in the trees across the lake will wake up wondering where that damn new driving range is!😅

[@garyK.45ACP]

Once the propellant charge is consumed, any additional barrel length is just drag on the projectile. Make it 24" and you will get more distance. Also reduce the size of the expansion chamber. Overall length 30-36"

[@IlliniDog01]

Yep, shorter barrel with shorter and larger diameter combustion chamber

[@darrensmall4313]

ATF doesn't allow anything shorter than 18" so be careful.

[@garyK.45ACP]

@@darrensmall4313 That is for shotguns. Rifles is 16", AND none of that applies to muzzle loaders. The golf ball/spud gun is a muzzle loader.
Please cite any case where the ATF prosecuted anyone for a short barrel length on a muzzle loading spud gun.
I'll wait.

[@joef240]

​@garyK.45ACP They have a bunch of overzealous, patriotic Americans in jail for essentially trespassing, but charged with trying to overthrow the government.
If they want it, they'll make it up.

[@darrensmall4313]

​@@garyK.45ACPI was just joking. It's a tater "gun" so take it easy. OBTW, 9mm is just as powerful as a 45.

[@killerb720]

Home defense cannon 😂

[@banangy]

Legend has it the golf ball still hasn't landed.

[@user-nf3oq2ge3g]

Happy Gilmore style. You just hit that guy over by that house.

[@dillanwarner9626]

Legend says that the golf ball is still flying though air to this day 😂

[@florentcouturier8002]

At list Cheddar Bob ( 8 miles) won't shoot his snoot whith that one 😂

[@Eli-jc2xk]

Oh my way to Home Depot got to make one of these pretty cool 🎉!!😮

[@ThatGuy64804]

Built one of these in the late 90s that used acetylene, oil rig pipe and a piezo switch from a BBQ. I launched a half-frozen peach at an old Buick station wagon in what I thought was a junk yard. The pit went through both doors and lodged in the tree behind. Turns out, it wasn't a junk yard. Just a super white-trashy dude who liked to drag junk into the woods. We had to go find him and apologize. He traded us a case of beer for my launcher. We were 13-15 years old at the time. Good trade.

[@Did-I-offend-you]

Iran who the hells launching golf balls at us
