Ah woops. Easy now, I accidentally moved it there since this topic was originally posted in the showcase section. Moderator section must be next to "General Spudgun Discussion" or whatever on the list.

Matches, lighter, hot wire, or a spark of some kind. :lol:

Edit; add Compression heating (diesel) and chemical reaction.

rub the chamber until it gets hot enough to ignite!

You could also hire Chuck Norris to set it off by looking at it.

I've gotta say, spudguns are one of the more unusual fetishes I've encountered...
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.
Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

I wonder... if you put flammable vapours inside a lady... could you get her to diesel?

Hmmm...

Goodness, JSR this is "supposedly" a PG forum, you just brought it to a MA.

A link for you JSR also.

My linky's gone, if it was a mod, sorry, but I think I forgot to put it in. http://memegenerator.net/instance/7605569

I proposed a simple concept that was perfectly acceptable for a family audience. It was the technical details of what you would use as afire piston that flipped it to MA in your head ;)

Ah yes, but I interpreted that others would see it as such. If I drive a car at a rock, that rock flys off and killed someone, did I cause their death?
