Default Tater gun

Ok so a little boredom goes along ways.




Might not be able to see the potatoe but we were shooting the biggest pine tree.

Later we got creative and shot some 2" trailer ball. Wanna talk about wicked. 135psi and its bye bye.
When we get some time we are goin out on the farm and seeing just how far we can sling them.

Oh and regular taters turned into mashed taters at 135psi.
75psi and they would sail!

This one is legit.
Tank is rated for 150psi and everything else is rated for 200+psi. Out little air compressor shuts of at 135psi so we cant hurt ourselves there.

Now myuncle has this contraption that works off acetlyne and is horrifically loud and will launch a softball a couple few feet up in the air. But its made out of a 6" tube with 2" walls.

We are looking for some more 2" trailer ***** so we can see just how far they will go.

I had one I made out of a freon tank( the big ones). I used a co2 tank and shot it around 200+ psi. Made some Fruit go about 300 hundred yards.
