i'm wondering if anyone has tried to use steel pipe for a spudgun
I might want to bulid a propane one using some 4" pipe at have at my house
I have an idea of what the manufacturing process entails but I want to know any dangers involved

thanks
if it doesn't involve a loud bang it isn't powerful enough

Just don't forget to insulate ( or should that be isolate) the ignition wires.
Especially if you use stungun ignition muhahaha ( that should make a funny video)


A metal spudgun should be safer than a PVC one, unless you drop it on your toes.
