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.

man you are getting robbed, you can build one for 14 bucks if you shop at lowes:D
I have one that shoots one over the pond. Only thing I paid was 1.50 for the striker. (I know some turdherders) Ammo is more expensive. The 99 cent hairspray is the best propellant

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 put a tater thro a piece of 1/2 osb plywood before.
its definitly a dangerous weapon.

a better propellant is Ether or starting fluid as well you can use carb cleaners too but ether works the best!

Just a tip

When not injecting ether into the end of a PVC tube that was surely designed to contain ether explosions, it is a good idea to keep it in the trunk of your black car.

Wow...that's where I bought all the components.I probably could have saved money,but I used the heaviest grade of PVC they carried,etc.The most expensive component was the gas grill igniter.

I'm gonna stay away from those...my luck I'll shoot one right through the grill of one of my town's police cruisers

We used to shoot frozen oranges through car doors.

Damn good fun but illegal here now.

Today the oranges...tomorrow the tomatoes

That's not a spud gun.

That's a Potato Howitzer.

looks like a potato 88 to me; that lake makes a wonderful target range for Magnum I bet

We were shooting one from a cabin,across the water at an island two years ago at Indian Lake Ohio....an old gent otw back to his cabin in a pontoon boat cruised between us and the island.

Danny yelled,"Hey,that zone isn't safe to cruise through! "(the old man saw us shooting it off).

He just looked up at us,grinned,and held a shotgun up for us to see,lmao.
