The Potatoe Gun (TM)  by BARNACLE

a 5' pvc tube 3 - 3 inches in diameter
a 1-2' pvc tube 5 inches in diameter
pvc adapters for 5 to 3 inches (or whatever)
a plug for the end.
another pvc tube about 8 inches long and like an inch in diameter
a trigger-activated spark-maker thingy
apoxy or really strong glue

How to....:

allright, glue the adaptor onto the 5 inch pvc tube, then attach the 3 inch 
one to the adaptor, glueing it as well.  next, about 6 inches away from the 5 
inch tube, glue the 8 inch tube (cut into shape to fit right) to serve as a 
handle.  cut a hole into the handle big enough to fit the trigger.  cut a hole 
in the plug (screw-in plug) big enough to fit the end of the wires (the ones 
that create the spark.  yo've basically got your gun....almost there.  what 
you need to do now is to sharpen the end of the 5' tube (which is the barrel). 
so that the edge instead of looking like this: ] looks like this: ) or > 
            ]]]]
          ]]    ]]
          ]]    ]]
            ]]]]

now all you need to do is shove a potato down the barrel with a ramrod, til 
lit blocks up the entrance from the barrel to the chamber (the chamber is the 
5 inch in diameter tube).  now to shoot something, open the back end (screw-in 
plug) and spray hairspray into the chamber.  close the end, and pull the 
trigger.  the spark ignites the hairspray, and out of pure explosion, the 
potato shoots out of the gun.


these things are more powerful than you think.  a friend of mine blew a 8" 
hole in a fiberglass backboard!!  be careful and make sure everything is glued
securly.  these are ILLEGAL as well.  they have been patented and banned.

Have Fun!
