I built a couple of tater guns that had 2" diameter barrels. It took a mail box off its post at 30 yards. Golf balls are a little too small to fit in the barrel snug. We thought about making a wad from a cloth and axle grease, but instead used dixie cups with misc. nuts and bolts. Oh the dumb stuff I used to do. :-D

I did a job at a sherriffs house and asked why he had all of these bowling balls stacked up . He told me he and his law enforcement buddies go to the nevada dessert every year and camp and shoot guns and his cannon .

spud guns are too cool 8) especially when you get them up to specs, or when you use the hair spray/ gas type :twisted: lol. I had a gun that when you would bring it up to 100psi, then fire a steel rod at something, it would take it out. It went through a portapotty, yes, and it wasn't pretty, then it would blast holes in trees, like a shotgun, and when using actual taters, oh, that was very fun. You could get them to fly hundreds of yards. Tennis balls were another favorite. We built a shooting range out here for them. If you have a rifled barrel, they can be very accurate :twisted:
