I guess it all depends on how good they are at welding !

Post subject:  Spudguns

Having read about making these on Retro-Rides, I had a bit of a go at work. Had to pop to B+Q for a few quids worth of plumbing fittings, but robbed the rest from the scrap bin.

It's quite effective with just a small pressure inside, I only had the foot pump to test it, so got it to 90psi...

Image

... when the footpump collapsed...

Image

Managed a few more pumps to get it to 100psi, found a suitable target...

Image

Top fun, ideal thing to make if you're bored one evening!

Ideas on what I can do with the leftover? emmental flavour crisps?

Yes it is.

I shot myself in the face with it by accident, and it bloody hurt at point blank range, but so far I can only get about 150psi out of it because the compressor at wotk has a regulator on it that won't let me have all the pressure I want, so at the moment it'll only fire about 100 feet, hopefully we can rig the compressor up without a regulator and get something closer to 300psi, and hopefully, that'll go a fair bit further. I'm going to take it to registers day for some spud firing fun.

Apparently, one of the reasons why they had to leave the old safari park Waggel campsite, was because somebody shot a giraffe with a spudgun last year. I shouldn't have laughed when I heard this, but I did!
