How to Build a Potato Gun Shell with the Black Eclipse Team, to add the sparker, drill two holes on the piping somewhere and put the two wires in and tape it on. Play around with the wires until you get a good spark. You can use Hairspray or Propane for the propellent with this model,just unscrew the cap and spray some in for about 5 seconds and close it quickly then aim then click the sparker. You can use Potatoes, Apples, Oranges, etc, pretty much anything you can fit in the barrel. Use a long rod or stick to shove the object down. and make sure you drill a screw near the bottom of the barrel so the object will not enter the combustion chamber. and DON'T CLICK THE SPARKER WITH HAIRSPRAY OR PROPANE STILL IN SIDE OR YOU WILL BURN YOUR FACE LIKE A COUPLE OF US DID, we are not liable for any damages or prosecution caused by your own potato gun, this is for people who want to have a little project to do and shoot some things in open fields for fun. REMEMBER THIS IS FOR FUN NOT DESTRUCTION. Thanks.

  • Really. How do you shoot it??!!

  • this is a potato gun these guys are building, not an m-16 or a rocket going to outer space. pvc glue is fine, quit ur bitching. awesome job, but where is the ignitor???

  • by the time you are able to launch that thing, you would have eaten all the potatoes already.

  • Really you should know what your pipe fittings are first and you know there is things called hammers.....

  • A couple problems, you should've used ABS cement on the ABS pipes, what are you filling it with, and how do you plan on containing the pressure without a ball valve?

  • U r fags and r stupid

  • these guys r idiots

  • I use duct tape and it works a hell of a lot better. And they have hammers now.

  • looks like that dude has sniffed a lil too much of that glue haha
