Yes, the Taser can make a spark between the probes. They would have to be mounted about 1 1/2" apart. Yes, it would be overkill. But just think of the coolness factor. Finally, a responsible person. I wouldn't want the officers I'm in charge of to play around with these things outside of work. Every...

First test will be tonight. Any other info would be helpful. Ammo will probably be golf/ping pong balls and potatoes

Just finished my first cannon. I will be using static guard for fuel. How much fuel should I use? The barrel is 1.5"dia. 36" length and the combustion chamber is 4"dia. 10" length. BBQ ignition.

Your website is awesome! A friend built a small cannon and got me interested. Now it seems like we're racing to see who can build the coolest cannon. I'm in the process of building a small combustion cannon. I based the design on several different guns on your site. Pics will come when testing has b...

Rip open a disposable camera and dump the capacitor into your finger. Did it working at a photo shop(accidentally). Hurt but had no duration.

How about a capacitor from a disposable camera?

Ok, so far no one has answered my question. I know a Taser will work. (50,000 volts, makes a spark, been shot with it, had to shoot bad guys with it.) Has anyone actually seen one incorporated into a spud gun design? Sorry if my first post was too vague.

If I can "borrow" one I'll send in pics and let ya know how it works.

Detentions Officer. Just got into spud guns. I like things that go boom. Can you say FLASH BANG?

p.s.

CannonCreator, are you a criminal?

New one's are about $1,000. I've never seen them on e bay. Maybe I'll take a spent cartridge to the range and hook it up to my cannon. The wires are around 15ft long. Instant remote ignition!

Has anyone ever seen a Taser used as an ignition? I'm not talking about a stun gun. Taser X-26 is what I'd like to see. I carry one for work.

Nice gun!
