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

ive sorta looked around but 3000+ things came up when i searched
has anyone actually made a true combustion mortar
my ABS gun will have to wait till i find a way to get the pipe here, so i need something to do
lol, hopefully im a pioneer

and also does someone know if using a constant spark from a stun gun is bad?

You mean, you want it to shoot when you drop ammo down the barrel? Just wire a camera flash circuit up to a momentary switch in the side of the barrel, the ammo falling down would hit the switch and trigger the spark.

Ya good idea but if u want to drop the potato down u wont have that good a seal in the barrel with the potato so try to put the potato in like a sabot type thing and then try that GOOD LUCK :wink:

Or just take 2 screws and put them in the side, and then hook it up to your stun gun(the power switch) and then have some alum foil on the bottom of your ammo so this way when it falls it will complete the circuit and make it fire.

Good luck with it.

you would need a stopper, like a bolt or something. the lower part would be the chamber and the upper part would be the barrel.... i think.
