    Tater Guns Anyone?

    I built a new tater gun over the weekend, and felt a need to show it off... It's made with 1", 2" and 4" scedule 40 PVC, and some scrap steel pieces to keep it from breaking itself in half.





    Anybody else ever build a tater gun? This is my first stab at a pneumatic one, not sure if I like it or not yet...

    Well when I was a kid we made carbide cannons out of 2" dia black pipe and shot lemons at each other at about 50 yds. boy that was kind of stupid

    I grew up in So Cal where there were lots of citrus and avocado groves.

    I like the fire-propelled ones better. recovery time on pneumatic can suck if you dont have a top notch compressor. awesome design, looks like a mob--slapper!

    use a gas bottle to pressurize it. it will recover faster than you can work the valves on the barrels. be sure to use a regulator, you don't wanna send 2000 psi into that contraption

    The problem with that is that I have to pay for the air in the bottle. Air from the compressor in my dad's shop is free, plus it recovers in 10-15 seconds anyway.

    Back in the day we cut both ends off (6)steel soup cans and taped them together. The bottom can had 4 triangle holes in the top like the kind you use to open the old Hawiian punch cans and the bottom had one small hole by the egde and a little bigger hole 180 deg from the small one.(Polish Cannon!) Blows flames 2ft out the cans and boom you'll never forget!

    I built one a couple years back. Used ether for fuel and shot anything from eggs,bar soap,potatoes,and acorns. We used to shoot eggs at skidders that were left at a logging site. And acorns acted like buckshot. Ahhh good times good times.

    We used to build them back in the day. We started out with hairspray, then moved over to mapgas. That got boring so we switched to acetylene and oxygen. That's when we drew the line because we kept blowing apart the PVC after 2-3 shots. But let me tell you, that would send an object like no other. We used to use 2.5" hard balls from an amusement park. They would easily launch 600+yards and so fast you could hardly see them.

    Apple cannons are the best! Especially when you shoot them at a brick wall

    I was gonna suggest a non - dwv (drain, waste, vent) pvc designed for pressure (deeper glue socket). The smaller 1 1/2 pipes and valves should hold up, they look like pressure fittings. The 4" has dwv fittings and may be the first to blow. Otherwise try schedule 80 (grey pvc, found at a plumbing supply or a good ace hardware). Kinda pricy though...BE CAREFUL
