Don't add a helpless comment to a topic that has nothing to do with it. There are plenty of designs here. Just look for them. SEARCH? If you cant figure out how to work this website, you shouldn't be building potato guns.

Yes dude you dont need much help building a super complicated and perplex pill bottle cannon even though it is very high tech and has the power to shoot right through paper.

300 yards you say? Do you have any pics of the gun? What are the specs? Now, I KNOW you're lying. No idiot as immature as you could possibly build a safe cannon, let alone a 300 yarder. Why don't you show us some proof? Video? Pics? Specs...

Bruce you having been asking questions on how to do this and how to do that on topics that are 3months old,have no relevance to your questions and thats already breaking 2rules,if you think your asking a noob question your probably correct so search the forums, we have said this to many people before you and they take it lightly and use the search tool instead you start swearing and cursing at us. And Kris doesn't only think hes smarter then you he knows hes smarter then you.
300 yards for your first cannon i think is BS,the only way to achieve that is really with a big ass combustion or a medium size combustion with propane injection,or a pneumatic that shoots golf balls or a big ass pneumatic the shoots potatoes probably with a barrel sealing piston valve.
I don't think many people have started with a Pneumatic as their first cannon and ive only heard of one or two cannons that used piston valves on their first cannon.

Why Is Everyone so critical about another person who happens to be new. Think about it. If your a veteran spudder and someone is getting started doesnt that mean that the sport of spudding is going to live on? Maybe one of these 'NooBs" could come up with some cool cannon that has never been made and make things better for all of us. Rather than bash why not encourage???

Why because it is said almost every day use the search function before
asking. Always research before asking questions. Also a noob does not need to make a master peice the first time he builds a gun. Yes, Kris
should not have been rude in how he told the guy to use the search. Still
it is not that hard to figure out how to use the search function. I have no respect for some one that does not research before asking about
something. Also that noob was not exactly nice now was he?
