Hi heres a spud cannon i made from PVC tubing. The parts are a 4 inch cleanout pipe 14 inches long with a 36 inch 2 inch pipe and a battery powered bbq side plate sparker and two brass bolts with copper wire on them and a spray tin of body spray .It runs on linx body spray and works with two screws and a BBQ sparker. A spud is rammed down the end close the the main chamber and then the spray is put in the gun and the other end and the cap is put back on you then point it at non crowed place and click the bbq sparker and off go's the spud... I got my spud to go over 130 meters :lol: some fuel's make it go more some less make one and find out. At the moment im making a golf ball gun and a brass sniper gun as well see the spud cannon here

Makes more sense than 'alf way down the barrel as you stated in the video. Nice and basic, just mind the plod ;)
