Combustion Potato Cannon's are for Cave-men. My friend and i made one that ran on compressed air. 2 expansion chanbers that could hold up to 200 PSI total. necked down to one tube with an electric valve from a sprinkler system holding the air back. a 9 volt battery, a few wires to the switch and poof... 200 yards easy. and NO MISFIRES!

Never had a spud gun, however we did make tons of Works bombs.
Educational purposes only: get an empty 2 liter soda bottle, pour a few ounces of Works cleaning solution in it, throw in a few crumpled aluminum foil *****, screw cap tightly on bottle, and throw! BOOM! Had the cops called on us more than once with those.

be sure you use pressure rated pvc (red letter) foam core will shatter in your face,,,still not the safest thing but definately use red letter pressure pvc with pressure fittings (sorry the plumber coming out of me)they are a blast we do it all the time
