dont ask me about that name(into the depths), i just made it up this second cause i realized i didnt have a name yet for the gun. this is a preety simple, but very cool (i think) gun. the combustion chamber i believe is 4"by12" and barrel is 2"by38". if u cant see, the ignition is a BBQ ignitor salvaged off our busted grill and JB welded it in. it shoots a potato about 100 yards using aquanet hair spray as a fuel(please tell me if there is a better spray). one time we almost hit a car with it(we didnt try to). i cant seem to get picture uploaded right now, im not even sure if im doing the right thing. if anybody can help me out on thatd sure help.
