OK, this is my second potato gun. I've had for a few months now. I like to use map gas or propane, but I find map is best. I use 40 psi in this system of both map and propane. I like it alot and am very proud of it especially when showing off to friends. It shoots a potato about 600 feet and makes quite a nice report. Well, thats all well and good, but I am always striving to make it better, which I slowly have. I need ideas that are both fairly cheap, and also not too complicated or will change the gun's setup entirely. It already has a fan inside for mixing the fuel. Feedback would be greatly appreciated!! Here are some pictures to show the current set-up:

I love it , simple but not ghetto,well designed but not expensive, Im a big fan for handles and mount the bbq button in it like a trigger. or make machine gune style real handles with the button in them, but if you did that you would need a stand. o well good luck cant wait to see the changes .

So what happened to your pictures?? :(


They appear to be back up. Nice, mean looking cannon. Do you need ear plugs for that bad boy?
