Hi, I am a new user, and I would like to know how to make a PVC combustion spud gun made for long range shooting, I've made a spud gun out of pringles cans but that didn't turn out so good.

If you could provide a little more info on what you are trying to shoot, or how much money you want to spend, or any other facts, I'm sure it would greatly be appreciated.

Take a good hard look up in your top right corner of your page underneath FORUM and CANNONS and between RULES and CHAT. There is a button called SEARCH. Click it. Simple. Or try looking at the SHOWCASE SECTION

spudgunning is like sex, once you've tasted, you can't wait til next time.

You need:
- A toilet paper roll (or a paper towel roll for longer barrel)
-A Gerbil
-And a firecracker, not a big one a little one might work.
If you want pneumatic just pop a bag maybe :x :shock: :? :!:

No wait that's what some idiot on the bus was (hopefully)joking about(?)

Dang I usually bring earphones so no one talks to me, and I can't hear stupid people but I forgot.

That was a really bad joke. Just look in the combustion cannon showcase and get some ideas then post more specific questions.
You'll get better advice. Try to find other posts about the same topics to ask in whenever possible. 8)
