tell me what you guys think...

If you have never seen one, its a potato gun and it is made out of PVC piping. The fuel used it hairspray and the igniter is a igniter.

...estimated at 355 MPH out of the barrel :shock:

Holy potatoes, that's :shock:

What a very odd thing to do in your spare time!

Bizarre coincidence - my sister's boyfriend does exactly the same sort of stuff! They hace created a whole series of potato rockets - "Spudniks" 8) and like nothing better on a saturday afternoon than taking Spudnik out onto the Moors and freaking out ramblers with falling potato comets...
