New way to create a Sleak Spud Cannon


One day, After Shooting my brothers Spud Gun/Cannon (basic in design using a 3" PVC chamber, and a 2" barrel and using a lantern ligter) I decided that it was time to go extreme and create one that looked and fealt like a real gun. Several days later, and a few failed tries, This was the finished product of the concept I had.

This gun fires on average a potato to 327 yards using a 1 1/2" x48" barrel on a 45 degree angle using only Right Guard deodorant. I also have a silenced barrel. Though the silenced barrell shoots on a range of 200 yards, you cannot hear a thing but a little ploomp as the potato soars from the end of the barrel.

I am very pleased with my achievements. However, It is time to move on! I am looking to build a simple design pneumatic air cannon. I want to use an irrigation valve but without batteries. Any help on how to assemble the compressor air blower to the valve and for the removal of the solenoid would be greatly appreciated.

For more pictures, visit www.wolfcall.com.

Anyway. I have plans for the spud gun in the picture. Email me at nick@spudgunextreme.com for the plans, or visit my website at www.spudgunextreme.com. There is a kicking video of me shooting my combustion or pneumatic plan. For those plans see my site the combustion plan and pneumatic plans have how to's, specific parts list, pictures, and detailed instructions on putting it together. Any feedback would be welcomed. Thanks.

how much do u think this project would cost

This project, not including the Right Guard, will run around 47 dollars. Check out my site at www.spudgunextreme.com and see the video for my pneumatic cannon launching a golf ball 712yds. Don't believe me. buy those plans, for $15.00 and build one your self. The kits with everything but the tools, will cost around 100 or so. you don't have to go looking for the parts, and you will get the step by step instructions with pictures of each step included with it. Along with, debugging tips safety tips, etc. I can give you a basic Paint rendition of the combustion cannon though if you email me through my site. Thanks. I do not have the Combustion plans in detail complete yet.

If you have tried both of these for fuel which one to you think is better overall? This question is for anyone.
