Whenever I shoot my spudgun, It always breaks up into really small bits. I don't understand why - I kinda want to shoot spuds semi solid not broken up into little bits.

Thanks.

Thought you meant your gun broke into little bits :lol:

What's the diameter of the barrel? And how long is it?

Any other specs would be much appreciated.

Haha, it's a regular spudgun made from the materials and specs from http://www.spudtech.com/content.asp?id=5

It's almost exactly the same.

But when I shoot spuds they come out all broken up.

Maybe you should get another type of spuds.
Some potato species are more solid then others.

Just bought a different type of spuds and they worked the trick. I used pink ones and they go like a rocket.

So psyched, cheers fellas.
