Wondering, whats the max distance to hear a potato gun shoot?

Posted: **Sat Aug 19, 2006 11:51 am**

Depends on the gun.

It depends. With a dry fire,my friend has heared my cannon a half mile away (on a day where the sound carrys and the air is still )

The sound a cannon makes has nothing to do with determining the maximum distance.

Gort, he's talking about how far it away it can be heard from.

there probaly is no max. if conditions are right and its really loud coul be heard miles away. but that would have to be realy loud.

I want to know the max cause I want to establish an "area of shooting" and I dont want to piss off anyone.

Are you going pneumatic, or combustion? Also how big?

Posted: **Sun Aug 20, 2006 9:12 am**

My gun is a combustion. The chamber is 14" inches long I believe, of 4" ABS pipe. The barrel is 4' long of 2" pipe.

You could make your barrel longer to quieten it, also it would increase performance.

make a "silencer" for it, just drill some holes at the end of the barrel, as long as you projectile it a perfect fit it should really quiet it down

Silly Question
