this is my first spud gun. it doesnt look so pretty and it has a lot of mistakes on it( that i tried to cover up). it fires though, it goes a fairly good distance. i named in Mr. Owl. ignition is from a long lighter, i shoot potatoes ( suprises) and i use old spice high endurance for fuel.
mr owl( best design on there even though it sucks)

looks sweet. nice hover craft to
the hovercraft was harder and more expensive. that was 100 bucks ( but i have extra stuff from it). the spud gun cost me 5 bucks. 2 dollars in total for pvc, 3 dollars for ignition. and i had screws glue and paint around the house
thats not bad for a first attempt. in the third pic is that the sparker wire next to your thumb ? if it is try taping it around the barrel. makes it look neater and you wont rip it on something because it wont be hanging around.
maybe try giving the whole thing a coat of paint and then putting its name on over that. or mask the name off.

ok heres a couple things
ya i sohuld put the wire down. but i didnt do it yet cause i was out of glue. lol
also with the paint, the ignition was already on there so i didndt paint the whole thing. i can try painting it again though. maybe a new ignition too that one is uh not that great

Looks like you have just one section of pipe with an elbow on the end. I meant efficient in that you used a very small number of parts.gotbass7 wrote:maybe itll be Mr.Owl Meows. or maybe that could be a name of a next one. what do yo umean its efficent?
