Because other people do it doesn't make it legal or morally acceptable and there are loonies out there who may just use your idea in a more violent way. Getting shot in the head with an air rifle would easily penetrate the skull. Getting hit with a potato would be seriously dangerous and hurt but will not kill.
In 14th episode of Season 4 of Prison Break, a combustion potato gun is used by Michael Scofield to launch 40 mm smoke grenades. Heating the gases to far higher temperatures, and thus giving them more energy. This allows hybrids and combustions to achieve supersonic velocities.Both PVC and ABS piping are also available in forms that are not pressure rated. The use of unrated plastic piping and fittings is a common source of cannon failure and poses a much greater risk to a cannon operator. The oldest examples simply involve dropping pieces of dry ice into a tube closed at one end and sealing the other end by jamming the projectile in. When the pressure of the carbon dioxide from the subliming dry ice builds high enough, the projectile will be blown out of the tube. [10] The pressures of such devices are not very high as it only needs to build enough to overcome the static friction of the projectile jammed in the barrel. Tens of psi is most likely. The range is likely restricted to 100- yards.
The potato cannon can trace its origin to the World War II-era Holman Projector, which was a shipboard anti-aircraft weapon. [7] Launcher types [ edit ]

Flange joints: on large steel spudguns, pipe and fittings are sometimes bolted together by means of flanges with a gasket sandwiched between them to provide an airtight joint. Using steel and much higher pressures of 800psi (55bar) or more, but achieving these pressures is difficult. CO 2 gas, although it can reach these pressures, is not suitable due to its high density.
The law on AIR GUNS has just changed, and there are now age limits. Tresspass with an air gun is criminal tresspass. The important thing is that if the cops want to press the issue, they can - they might not. They might just give you a warning and take it off you. However, they able to do more if they choose. The dry ice bomb used for propulsion can achieve bursting pressure in a matter of seconds to hours depending on the quantity of water and dry ice. If too little dry ice, it also may not achieve bursting pressure at all. These timing issues can cause belief that the cannon has failed to fire but attempting to unload the cannon may then provide the extra stress on the bottle needed for it to rupture.Pneumatic launchers are considered a little more difficult to build due to the need of a completely airtight construction. These cannons have four basic components: The video game Scrap Mechanic has 4 variants of spud guns: a single shot spud gun, a double barrel spud shot gun which fires French fries, a 'spudling' gun which is a triple barrel Gatling gun, and a mountable spud gun which can be mounted on your creations.
