          oh yea.. what typa reducer? you should get a 4 foot pipe, and use pipe cement to hold it all together ! And fuck the hairspray.. go for propane, no residue left behind, and way more powerful.. with a longer barrel and propane im sure you'll break that 3 block mark

            Well carburator cleaner is damn nice shit for potatoe gun, and the next thing you do is take a golf ball and wrap it tightly in a rag with the top open(so the ball can fly out) and well then launch it, and that goes way way way farther then a potatoe =) and also multiple bbq lighters on the tank works good to incase one dies.

              for me i use ether.. and it works fuckin good.. i love it always bring it with me to camping.. with bunch of friends.. BEWARE dont fuckin open the barrel and look at it about 2 or 4 second later.. it fuckin burned some hair.. i tried to shoot it and it didnt work then i open the barrel and then wait for a while then look at it about 4 sec later and then poof some of my hair is burned..

              suggestion: if it doesnt work get a regular lighter and light it when its open

                  To dangerous and amateurish what you realy need is a ATV tyre inflator not to sure where you buy theses if you dont know someone who sells ATV's ,It basicaly a refillable air tank with a quick release valve and you can connect it to most plumbing fittings fill it with 50 psi and go for it.

                      Use THICK steel pipe and weld
                      a flat panel at the end. Drill a hole
                      in the flat end piece and tap it so that
                      you can put a spark plug in there.
                      Use some car parts and a battery to
                      make the spark plug spark.

                      Take a table spoon of gasoline (or diesel
                      if you really wanna live life on the edge)
                      and drop it down the tube.

                      Take an UNRIPE (cuz they're damn hard)
                      raw 'tater and force it down into the gun.
                      This is the dangerous part, especially with diesel, you can actually compress the fuel enough to make it combust (say goodbye to your hand). If you want to be safe, use a 'tater that easily drops down into the pipe.

                      Finally, spark the plug and watch shit go flying. Remember, for maximum distance you should aim the gun 45degrees off the gravitational horizontal plane.

                      If you want to make the gun better, put some type of metal piece in there so that the 'tater doesn't rest on the spark plug.
                      If you're trying to objectify the subjective, you need to stop breathing.

                            Yeah, and then it's really funny.

                            In some of the fx shops we would get a piece of surgical tubing maybe 10 feet long, (the real thick shit). Then we would take a piece of spandex, about a 1 foot square. We would cut holes in the four corners of the spandex, and string the surgical tubing thru the holes, and then tie the tubing together. What we would end up with is a giant rubberband, with a square piece of spandex in the middle of it.

                            This makes an awesome sling shot. Two strong guys get at either end of it, a third guy loads it, and stretches it as far as he can before he is pulled off his feet. He let's go, and Viola! instant (3-city-block ) soda can launcher. It's better if they're full, because they explode when they hit.

                            !Note! we only tested this in the alley ways between movie studios in the middle of the night. My guess is that on a crowded street a soda can traveling at nearly 70 miles an hours coming down at the right angle could possibly kill someone. You might want to try something softer at first.

                              Potato guns are fun. You're shooting a potato, it is not like you're shooting
                              to hurt something or someone.

                                  Hey Susan,

                                  A 'tater gun is a metal pipe which you modify in order to shoot raw potatoes for long distances. It serves no purpose except fun (unless you're a jerk and shoot it at things that shouldn't be targets)

                                      Kids collect things like smiley faces off the net. You may find this odd but they really do this kind of stuff.

                                      There is life beyond porn - honestly

                                                  Corpsie,

                                                  I was actually just fucking around and probably should have put a smilie after it, although I do think people shooting things (other than guns which are much more violent in nature)for fun is harmless if you're not shooting at anything living. But, still, it is normally, not always, a means for expression of male aggression/testosterone. Men who get laid usually are able to release that through good lovin'. I have no doubt that you, personally, probably have no release in that way.

                                                    April,

                                                    ahhh, i gotcha.

                                                    Usually when people say "you need to get laid" it is not meant to be taken with a grain of salt.

                                                    (FYI: corpsie gets enough lovin' to last
                                                    a long time)
                                                    If you're trying to objectify the subjective, you need to stop breathing.
