Fun with Potato Gun

Fun with Potato Gun You can't write enough about men and their obsession with machines. One of the most fun I've had recently was at a party where an engineer brought with him a potato gun that he'd built. It was amazing -- no moving parts, and you actually use vegetables as the bullets!  We tried to shoot tomatoes, zucchini, apples, and cucumbers. I was surprised by its power, as I smashed the target with a mere cucumber (shown below). M.Mirov Not a Stinger, but a Spud! Warning: Potato guns (a.k.a tuber launching devices)  might be illegal where you live.
