Boom! The classic potato gun harnesses the combustion of flammable vapor.

Many people use mapp gas. From what I've heard it's similar to propane.

It's not more dangerous, at not for all I know.

You should use the amount that fires a spud the farthest. No really, you can just use trial and error. Or you could set up a metering system. I've heard someone mention the right percent needed.

Make sure it is sturdy first, if its just a combustion spudgun you should be fine if it is made out of abs. What are you waitin for anyway, go take it for a shot and tell us how it went. When you say a beginner - have you shot one before?

i think the only real diference is that mapp gas burns hotter that propane but i dont think it will make much difference unless you mixing it with air/oxigen
