METAL SPUD GUN - 3 ASSORTED / ONLY 1 SUPPLIED

Product Information

If the barrel is less than 16 inches then it is NOT a rifle, and is a hand gun, and if the muzzel energy greater than 6 foot pounds it is classed as a section 5 firearm and is illegal for almost everyone. Pneumatic launchers are considered a little more difficult to build due to the need of a completely airtight construction. These cannons have four basic components: Sorry to post in this topic, but not too sure else where it would go. Seeing as I vaguely describe HOW a Potato Cannon works, I thought here would be the best topic. ;)

It is rare for a spud gun to be powerful enough to break the sound barrier, although there are some cases of this happening using specialized designs. The spud guns used are typically hybrids; but some pneumatic cannons have achieved the feat, either by using a special low-density gas, such as helium, [20] or high pressures combined with a fast valve. [21] There is also one reported case of a combustion design achieving super-sonic velocities. [8] Ayars, Eric; Bucholtz, Louis (July 2004). "Analysis of the vacuum cannon". American Journal of Physics. 72 (7): 961–963. Bibcode: 2004AmJPh..72..961A. doi: 10.1119/1.1710063 . Retrieved 15 August 2011. A hybrid combines principles of combustion and pneumatic spud gun. It uses a pre-pressurised mixture of fuel and air to get more power out of a given chamber volume. Rejoice! Biker season is more than halfway through. For months now, hundreds of leather-clad knights of the road have been mounting their silencer-free steel-and-chrome stallions and setting off at first light into the countryside in search of suitable stretches of Tarmac. And, as dawn breaks over villages and hamlets, residents are woken by the nerve-jangling scream of a hundred high-powered Kawahozki 900s as they blast along the winding A roads, their riders unaware of – or unconcerned by – the sound footprint being dragged through rural dreams.

Cap Gun Rifles

Threaded Fittings: commonly available in BSP or NPT (not interchangeable) they generally require a fitting attached to a pipe by other means to allow screwing into another threaded fitting. The exception to this is steel pipe, the ends of which can have the appropriate thread cut into them.

Dry ice launchers [ edit ] PVC dry ice cannon in use, 1.5kg (3 pounds) of concrete is poured at the bottom to reinforce it, and plastic sleeves are used to stiffen the lower (highest pressure) part.

Note that "potentially fatal" means able to break skin in UK firearms law - not "likely to kill", as you seem to be hoping.

Spud guns

The recoil of such cannons can be very great due to the high pressure combined with the large internal diameter piping needed for the bottles (5–9cm; 2–3½ in) resulting in them being ill-suited for hand held firing. How legal is this device? Would it be considered a firearm, as it 'fires' ? Is it no more legal than going to a park and igniting hairspray using matches, even though this all happens in a confined area?

Me and a few friends have recently built a potato cannon (or 'spud gun' or 'spudzooka'). A potato cannon is usually made out of PVC (Drainage) Pipe, a potato is rammed down the long end (the barrel), some hairspry (or deodrant) is sprayed into a large barrel (the combustion chamber) , it's sparked using a sparker of any kind, and the potato goes flying. Any combustion cannon with a potential muzzle energy of greater than 1 ft-lb (it may be 1 Joule, I forget) will fit into one of these groups. By the explosion of a dry ice bomb placed in the pipe before the projectile, generally referred to as a dry ice bomb cannon, these are limited in power by the materials and size of the dry ice bomb but firing pressures can be around 200–300psi (1.4–2.1MPa).

Larda (31 July 2008). "Lardas First Hybrid - HyGaC20". SpudFiles. Archived from the original on 15 September 2012 . Retrieved 2009-06-01. Any pneumatic with a potential power output exceeding 12 ft-lbs will also fit within either section 1 or section 5 (Section 2 cannot be air powered) In Germany, a spud gun does not differ legally from any other firearm (for ones that use combustion to propel the projectile) or air rifle. The manufacture, acquisition and possession is therefore subject to the same requirements as for any other weapon of the same category. Since there is no known model developed before 1871, which would classify that model as an antique, spud guns are not subject to the eased regulations regarding antique weapons. Therefore any non-combusting spud gun with a maximum projectile energy of 7.5 joules can be owned by anyone without a license, while their manufacture still requires one. The legal possession of any other such weapon requires a gun license. The important thing is that if the cops want to press the issue, they can - they might not. They might just give you a warning and take it off you. However, they able to do more if they choose.
