			==What is a Spudgun?==
			''Main article: [[What_is_a_spudgun%3F\|What is a spudgun?]]''


			There are many different names for spudguns. They are called potato cannons, spud launchers, potato guns, spud cannons, and a host of others. Whatever you decide to call it, all of the aforementioned describe the same type of device: a device used to accelerate a [[potato]] down the [[barrel]], and launch it some distance. While it may offend some purists, the humble little potato is quickly losing favor to other ammunitions such as [[golf ball]]s, [[tennis ball]]s, and other cheap, uniform projectiles.

			==Types of Spudguns==


			=== [[Pneumatic_launcher\|Pneumatic Launchers]] ===

			These use the energy stored in compressed gas to launch a projectile. The launcher's [[chamber]] is [[pressure\|pressurized]] and the gas held back from the barrel by a [[valve]]. When the valve is opened the gas is allowed to rapidly expand and escape down the barrel forcing the projectile out before it.

			=== Combustion Launchers ===

			* '''[[Combustion_launcher\|Regular Combustions]]'''

			These find the energy needed to launch a projectile from the [[Combustion process\|combustion]] of a gaseous [[fuel]] and air mixture. The fuel is added to the air already in the chamber, the chamber is sealed and the mixture ignited. This combustion creates a pressure spike that forces the projectile out through the connected barrel.

			* '''[[Hybrid_launcher\|Hybrid Launchers]]'''

			Hybrid launchers are a special type of combustion launcher that use a pre-pressurized fuel/air mixture. This results in a higher pressure and hotter combustion on ignition, thereby transferring more energy to the projectile.

			=== [[BB Machine Gun]]s ===
			A [[BB Machine Gun]] (BBMG) is a device designed to shoot a large volume of small diameter ammo, typically plastic airsoft or steel BBs. BBMGs are pneumatic guns but unlike single shot launchers they require a constant gas supply to function.
