Spud Gun - Precautions

A potato cannon gun can be great fun if it turns out right. But if not, it can spell disaster for the user and others around him or her. The key is to choose the right potato cannon how-to manual that lists all the precautions one needs to adhere to while making and using one.

While handling a spud gun, one needs to keep the following basics in mind:

  • Most spud gun how-to instructional manuals will ask you to use PVC pipes for the barrel of the gun. You must never, ever try using gasoline or any other petroleum based product with such material. This is on account of the fact that petroleum fuel can grievously damage, and even destroy PVC pipes. The reason being PVC is a type of petroleum derived plastic, and so chemically highly unsuitable for use with petroleum fuel.

  • Densely populated jurisdictions usually have strong ordinances on live projectiles and extra decibels. So, avoid such places to use or test your potato cannon gun.

  • One must not shoot a spud gun by resting it on the shoulder as it can backfire close to the head, and cause grievous injury or death.

  • Always treat the spud gun as a weapon, and not a kiddie toy.
