Questions about Potato guns!

[SIGSays]

use some steel/lead pipe for where the co2 will be... i'll show you how it's done

[bluefan101]

Here's a simple diagram of what I have. Mind you, I'm not very good at drawing so here's my stick figures. The Plastic tube can be fitted with steel connectors that can inturn be attached to steel pipe. I think that may be where Sig is going. If the gun is only being used in short burst, I don't see any need for the additional parts. CO2, an on/off valve, hose (to transport the gas) and pipe (to act as the catalyst). Regulators and dump valves and such, just don't seem needed in a short burst gun.

the pic didn't take too well..

We will doing the job on the potato gun soon as we are planning to grab some stuff from Home Depots to make the Potato Gun.

Bluefan101: thanks for your opinion but we are just do our way as my brother drew the picture that above there.

My brother (ultimator) and I think it would be work good.

[bluefan101]

No problem. I hope it works out for you guys. If you ever get over towards P'cola, shoot me a PM. I can get my canon set up and ready to go.

[Ultimator]

Well we went out and bought the supplies today from home depot.

Using 1" daimeter for the barrel and 2" for the dump chamber it will actually be very close to the drawing, except only one valve. I'm going to need to drill and tap my own hole for the air fitting. Speaking of:

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the threads on an air fitting are 1/8" right? Thanks for the info in advance.

[Ultimator]

Got the gun all together, works good. I only wish it would shoot a bit further. I think I used too short of a barrel.

[Tenks]

Yeah.. but it's funny when i shot it! (sorta i wanna more) but i wish i could make the Picture and video of it.. Our camera's battery is dead! also we was running out of co2 and will fill more.

We got a chamber at the end and sprayed half a can of hairspray in it then closed it, then we had an igntion switch on top of it to light it. Potato shot through two THICK layers of plastic, and pretty far.
