LOL-got one in the garage.About 6' long....shoots not quite,but close to 1/6th of a mile.Lotsa fun out in the countryside.

You can build a six footer for about $45.

One caveat-Shooting one off in the city limits is considered the same as shooting off a gun.I only aim mine over open fields,or water,and outside city limits.You do NOT want to aim it at anyone.Not ever.

It's impressive-shoot it at 30' into a boulder or large tree and you won't even see it leave the barrel-just a big ol' wet mark.

muck, you place a potato down the muzzle, open  the breech, spray in hair spray as a propellant and ignite it with a built in striker. I used one to get rid of frogs that had invaded my swimming pool a couple of years ago.

mine was made out of PVC and was only about four feet long, but man o man it could put half a dozen frogs into orbit at a time.

we use hair spray and the ingiters out of gas grills.


you can wire the whole thing up and sharpen the end of the pipe so you just poke it into the potato.

you can use um as a sabot for a cross bow bolt also :)



hint .

get the heavy pvc.
