[alademuerte]

Ok, so how does the gun work?? What chambers or valves? Air compressed? Combustion??

[Negrodamus]

Hairspray into chamber, screw on cap, ignitor is used from a grill sparker/lighter thing BOOM its 100X louder in person+ammo is cheap so its entertaing

Total it costs about 40$ and you have enough pvc left over to make two(or another one if u mess up) basically you can launch anything thet fits in the tube and makes a decent seal so your fuel ie hairspray axe etc doesnt escape before you can screw the cap on. Theres write ups everywhere google search "make a potato launcher"

[alademuerte]

Ah, I got you... Man, I would be afraid that the combustion would exceed the PVC rating and cause it to blow up..

Yes! Easy excuses for getting myself into trouble!

Well right now I'm kinda, (you know, kinda) trying to stay out of trouble... I have yet to tell my dad I just got a citation for "Participation in a speed contest on the highway" which is 280$ and 5 points....
So I gotta take that to court...

The weakest point of the system is the loosely sealed ammo, thats why it blows it out. The only way the 300psi pvc pipe would explode sending shrapnel in your face is if you glued a cap on the end of the barrel or something. we have put hundreds of rounds through numerous different launchers and nothing has ever gone wrong...have at it man :thumbsup:
