Never made one myself but had friends that would throw some big parties on his property every summer and we'd shoot those off. Pretty fun I guess, everything is more interesting with alcohol. |

yeah its pretty easy. chamber, barrell, file edge of barrel so you can easily get the potato in. grill ignitor and you are good to go. use starting spray or ether. |

Made quite a few in college, look for Rave hairspray. We found that to be the best propellant. |

I've found that if you stop being a burrito and buy a real gun you'll get the best results. |

I've made quite a few. 1.5 inch pvc for barrel, 3 inch for chamber with a reducer to fit them. Get a threaded clean out and an adapter for easy filling propellant. Carb starter is a great proplent. Grill ignitor. But... if you get a water heater spark ignitor you can kinda build a trigger. |

I can't see any potential issues. |

I just followed some dude's instructions on the web. I assumed he knew what he's talking about. I mean, he's got a website, right? Maybe its a sweet potato gun. |

Just remember, boys, it's not barrel length, but muzzle velocity that matters. |
