Ramrod and a friend of ours made a potato cannon, but they haven't used it in a while.

We actually have one tube just to hold the gas, then several tubes for the barrel. Short, wide ones for a nice shotgun blast during paintball games, or long, narower ones for some serious launching.

This is tangential, but I don't think you can be MHG. ModestlyHotGirl is MHG. Maybe you can be MHGuy. But you're gonna get all those lechers confused if you start calling yourself MHG.

Yay! I'm glad someone else said it. It's been driving me crazy for a while. You don't need to change your name, just your abbreviation. That'd make me happy.

And it must be kind of confusing... I mean, I'm not the potato cannon kind of girl.

Just do what I do, call him MHGy. Works for me.

As for girls and the cannons, my friends sister like ours. It's nice to be able to hit a football light from 300 feet (20X6 meters) away.

Or get arrested...

As for potato canons... a neighbor of mine has one. However, he moved to the southern part of the state, so I haven't seen it in a while.

It's spelled "Apocalypse."

You know what they say about the pot and the kettle...

And I have never seen a potato cannon.

Actually, I think he was talking about a musical composition or passage in which a melody is imitated by one or more voices at fixed intervals of pitch and time. In this case, he was speaking of the harvest-themed "tuber canons" popularized by Irish composers in the early 18th century.

:bubs: Yeah. Shut up, kid.

My neighbor has one, and he shot a lemon with his "spud gun". It almost looked like it was going to hit a car, but it didn't, luckily. Those things are pretty cool, but my neighbor had to charge it a lot.

well, the basic Spud gun uses Hairspray and a lantern or barbecue sparker to ignite it. some potato cannons that are made can be modified towhere the barrel and blast chamber's can be interchangeble. yeah its freakin awesome. hey, for any of you that want to make one, check out the book backyard ballistics, or go here to this web site
http://members.aol.com/sph911/spud.html

(OHHH CRAP! I SPAMMED AGAIN! the admins are gonna do something this time......IM FREAKIN SORRY!!!

That wasn't spam. That was a relevant post about the topic of the thread.

You don't have anything to worry about. (This time. :p )

Don't worry, MHGy, if you do spam, you'll know it. Because I'll just delete it. Or kill you with my own potato cannon, whatever I see fit.

No, I have no potato cannon. But, if need be, I feel sure that I could procure one with relative ease. If I feel that it would improve my modding procedure, that is.

Okay, so back on topic.
