Hey, i recently made my 1st spudgun and i was wondering if directly spraying propane from a torch into the chamber is dangerous, right now i use right guard deoderant and i havent even got my spudgun to shoot once :( ....and about how much would it cost me to make a propane metering system?
thanks

no, it wouldnt fire, it wouldnt have enough oxygen mixed in to combust. you have to get within a certain fuel to air mixture for it to combust, anything higher or lower than the optimum will take power away, or it wont fire (which is most likely why your right guard isnt working)

If you do fill the whole thing with propane, just don't open it and ceck the spark. BOOM! but backwards,(towards face).
