Potato gun has become one
of the most cherished outdoor sports nowadays. A lot of youngsters
and even those who are middle aged indulge in this cool sport over
the weekends. As well as promising lot of fun, spud gun allows one to
put their skill and endurance to test.
If you and your friends
have planned to for spud gun this weekend, make sure your potato gun
is all set ready. To avoid the disappointment as well as
embarrassment in front of others due to a non-performing potato gun,
check out the following things before you leave home.
Check all the
connections. If any wire is loose, the spark may not travel through
the wires and this may prevent your spud gun to work.
Do remember to clean your
spud gun after every shot. Every time you fire, a lot of hairspray is
left in the chamber of the gun. If it is allowed to remain there, it
would harden and would prevent your gun from making the spark.
Further, if you do not clean your gun, the cap may also get stuck.
Do not wait for too long
to fire. After you spray the hairspray in the chamber, fire the spud
gun immediately otherwise the fumes will condense-leaving a sticky
glob like thing in the gun chamber.
Check the seal around the
projectile. It must fit tightly in the barrel otherwise the spud gun
would not work.
In case your potato gun
doesn’t work, you know how to troubleshoot it. Fix the things and
get ready for a fun-filled potato gun shooting experience next time.
