I am going to be writing a manual on spud guns for my technical and science writing class and I need pictures of spud gun failures for my proposal. I know i have seen many of them on here but the search is not my friend.

Here's some good ones; even better because it was under controlled conditions.

crsaz has some pictures of an abs gun that blew up. I don't think a cause was ever identified.

There are also issues of hitting things that you didn't want to hit. Not my video.
