Many faces of a spud-gun

My friend and I were making a movie for one of his film classes. It was about the reign of a dictator. In one of the many war scenes my spud-gun was used for a lot of the props and special effects. Examples: Mortar-buried the chamber and put a board around the bottom. Bazooka-self explanatory. Gun-ran a hose down the side of an airsoft gun and shot lead beads. Land mine-buried the entire gun and attached long wires then put an elbow at the end of the valve and put on a 2in to 4in increaser and shot a bunch of debris into the air(my favorite). getting shot effect-ran a hose into a jacket with a small 90 degree elbow full of fake blood. And, of course, the secret unmentionable one with flames. Anyways, the point is, what all do the people out there do with their spud-guns? Just a curious question.

I'm designing a gun for a lady down the block. Her sciatica acts up and she has trouble getting around to the weeds in her yard, so I'm making a gun for her to spray them from far away.

Generous hint of the year: it's spelled pneumatic not phenumatic. :wink:
