the ancient greeks have been launching spuds before the pyrimids were built. they used clay pots and.......

that was a good story, but wouldn't the germans get kinda made if a kid took their supplys?

Of course they would of got mad,they didn't exactly go upto a german and say ohh hey I'm taking some of your stuff.Also guessing they wouldn't steal huge amounts of supplies only small odd things as the germans took everything else they owned,so kind of payback i guess :lol: .

Greeks and clay pot spud guns?I'm interested were did you get that info so I can have a read up on it?I know the chinese made the first hand grenade out of clay but clay potato guns out of clay in the Ancient greek times this I gota see.

iw was being stupid when i said that. they didnt make clay spud guns. i just thought it would be funny to post, its not true.

even if they did, what fuel would they use?
