My first combustion - A few questions

Question 1: How much danger is involved with combustion? I'm not going to be dumb with it...But if its not a beginner thing then I'm not going at it ,I've already made a pneumatic and I'm looking for something i can run without an air compressor, and I'm looking for something simple... Question 2: B...

Potato problem - Is this suppose to happen?

When i fire my gun, Pneumatic pumped at about 70-120 psi..With a rifled barrel, When i shoot a potato out of it, It goes CRAZY, It ill go in any direction.

Edit: I dont care how i do it, I just want the battery to spin without some big machinery to rifle it with, If theres a ...
