A couple nights ago my neighbor Klint and I were bored and thought that it would be fun to build a potato gun. We ran to home depot and twenty minutes later we had a pretty large potato gun. 
That night we shot just about everything we could find that we thought we could blow a hole in, including…
A beer can.
And…
Closet doors.
Not to mention…
Klint and Kyle’s shed!
Whoops….
So a couple days later a few of my friends from the Congo came over. I thought I would impress them by showing them my potato gun.
After the back of the gun exploded I was scared to even look at my finger because I didn’t think there was any chance it would still be attached to my hand. Thankfully it was!

It’s all fun and games until someone loses a finger 🙂

This is why we build the ignition into the side of the gun instead of the end cap.

Haha…. That was my neighbors engineering. I even said to him while we were building it “Seems like the lighter would just blow out the back if you dont have it jammed in hard enough.” I never thought that it would actually blow off the end cap…
