Man that thing looks pretty bad. I used to have one, don't know what happened to it. We used it a lot in college, probably left it down there. My buddy built one out of stainless, and fired it with acetylene from a welding rig. Had to prop it up on something and light it with a burning rag on a bamboo pole. Never did see the potato, we figure if any held together they were probably ranging about 700 yards. Shot up some plywood and an old car, and put a hole in his little storage shed with it. The explosion actually had a shriek to it, which was a nice touch.

Poaching Gun

I can see it now, the ultimate deer story

As we sit around the camp fire and tell storys.

I swear to you guys I walked up and killed this deer with just a patato, I have pictures to prove it.

I had one of those a while back also, used compressed air though, small comresser, was sweet. Would fire a golf ball (or frozen kiwi fruit, don't ask they were cheaper than golf *****) and it would fire those suckers about a mile. This was in the woods, nothing around so it was safe. Even tied a 10 foot contractors marking tape to it to follow it, still hard then

Ah the good ole days. I did shoot a kiwi through 1/4 plywood, half inch, you should be able to do no problem.
