I'm thinking that the potatoes that come out of that one are not the ones you really want to catch...

That's a potato gun? Ugh...

Someone show this guy what a real potato gun is.....

 

[Dirtman]

Never bet a welder against potatoes....

Helium reverse piston system that fires at 400+psi. I've put potatoes into space.... Wanna fight?

Belonged to a RC club. They hosted WOD every year (Warbirds Over Delaware). They had an event called Electric Mayhem. Participants would send up planes they were willing to sacrafice. After that, it was shoot-em-if-you-got-em'. Limit was non-lethal weapons (re: PressReader.com - Your favorite newspapers and magazines).

I made a plastic sabbot with a tungsten core for that cannon that fired passed 26 acres never to be seen again. It wasn't a potato gun, it was lethal artillery. And I'm working on mark 2. Copper lined rifled barrel able to hold 1,000 psi and shoot sabbot plugs of any manner of mayhem. I plan to break the sound barrier with my next cannon.

26 acres is not a unit of length. The property could have been 100ft wide by X,000 ft long and you shot your projectile over the 100ft width.
