Jonny69's inventing shed: Giant Spudmatic gun

I'm on about accidents with the yellow handle as you cram a potato on the sharp end, not the valve failing.

Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I was taught not to hang around that end of a loaded weapon.
 
Beat you to it ;)

Mine is rated to 300psi safe, so i reckon i could push it to 400psi. At 100psi i got a golfball 115meters.
Yeah I remember yours, couldn't remember what ammo you used, GOLFBALLS :eek:

Good to see it again. I've got a CO2 cylinder in the car ready to lop the top off and a 1" lever valve. Plan with that one is more of an air mortar which I can load up with all sorts of crap, maybe mount in a cage for launching things etc ;)

:eek: You know that kind of pressure can do a fair bit of damage, do you have to load it pressurised?
I'm only loading it like that for the video. To get it up to 160psi I literally have to drop my weight on the pump, takes a while and it looks like I'm trying to bum myself with it in the video. Normally load it first, then pump it up :D

nope, hes got a water valve on it to stop the air coming straight out. Although because it's potato, it would dry, so personally i would pump it then put the potato in then let rip.
It's a gas valve, not a water one. Not sure what the difference is, probably self lubricating or something, but as has been said, it's easy to knock open :eek:
 
Freefaller lives round the corner and kindly agreed to shoot me in the ass :eek:

Take 1:



Take 2:


How gay do we look? :D
 
Jonny, you have to move to the north east ......

I have been in tears watching that video and Will's action pumpo is just hilarity with a cherry on top. :D
