Does anyone have any really simple step by step instuctions on how to construct a decent potato gun? I have searched around the web and found a lot of prospective patterns, but the majority of the designs require at least $20 worth of PVC pipe and other supplies. I have a pretty good amount of PVC at home, but the designs I saw required all these obscure end-pieces and other parts that aren’t too easy to come across. Are all these complex designs really necessary, or can somebody help me out with a more cost-effective, but still relativly safe design? Thanks.

Last year I got all gung ho on making a potato gun. I found this site to be far superior to ANY other out there http://www.spudtech.com/ I used the basic plan on the website and made a very simple kick ass gun. The first time it launched I couldn’t believe it, I was looking at my finger when it went off, I immediatly looked up but I never saw that potato… I think its in orbit.
thanks for replying. I’ll have to check these links out. Hopefully I’ll find what I am looking for. If so, I’ll pass it on.
