Spudguns are homemade cannons that shoot potatoes. They are made from common plumbing pipes (PVC or ABS, sometimes metal pipes).
A combustion spudgun is the easiest to build and use, the user sprays an explosive gas (propane, aerosols, gasoline) in a loaded spudgun and ignite the explosive gas with a spark (BBQ lighters, high voltage coils, or stunguns), and the explosion will shoot a potato around 100 meters away.
Pneumatic spudguns are harder to make but they are more powerful, they use valves to release some compressed air to shoot potatoes.
Spudguns are safe and legal when built and used right, and they are cheap and easy to make, visit these links to learn how:
