Amazing. The guy from that video clip actually posted here. That clip gave me some moments of amusement back then.

Incidentally, next time you see that some jerk smothered a wiki page somewhere with porn links just go to history, find the last good page, go to edit and then save that as the current revision.

I would have to strongly disagree with your title.

In my opinion, I would say the potato gun that can be constructed the easiest would be the "bendy straw".

Shove a potato plug down the end till it gets to the "bendy" elbow and blow out the short end! BOOM!

They have some recoil like you wouldn't believe...
First time I tried it, it damn near ripped my arm out of its socket I tell ya what...

lol :lol:

i cant exactly tell what the bottle is made from (plastic, glass, whatever) but i made a combustion from a gatorade bottle once...and im sure you know gatorade bottles arent thin...i went to fire it and the flame shot out the side of the bottle and left a giant blister on my hand...about the size of a quarter...left a nice scar tho
