POTATO CANNONS!!
Hey my name is Jeremy. I live in Las cruces New Mexico and it is the worst place to live in.
I got into the hobbie of launching potato guns when I was about 13.
I have had two cannons so far and they have worked fine. My cannon is the following
(3"*18" CHAMBER, 2"*36" BARREL, GAS GRILL SPARKER.)The gun is extremly light and is suitable for mid-sized spuds.
If you have any questions about my site or the hobbie e-mail me at [email protected].

History
Well as you know I learned about potato guns from a guy in college. Him and I would shoot apartment buildings after he got off work. his potato cannon had a 3 inch barrel that measured 36 inches and a 8 inch copresion chamber. then he moved so I didnt continue my hobbie. then when iI got in high school I started creating a potato gun.(discription at top)I now have reagular tests of neww fuels and other stuff like ammo. My friend Josh helps with testing. some day hope to make a melon launcher with compersed air. other than that that is my history of my potato gun.
