Demonstration of a motor driven potato firing Gatling gun at the Maker Faire in San Mateo, CA on May 29, 2009. The gun was produced by Joseph DeRose, Samuel DeRose and their father Tony DeRose.

In this video they are test firing paper towels. The gun fires up to six potatoes in a few seconds. It is fueled by everyday household flammables such as hairspray and cleaning supplies.

  • Yes. This video is of the Gatling gun performing a test firing of paper for a group of students. No potatoes were killed during the filming of this episode. Cool maker project.
