Okay so i made a potato cannon a while back ([url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spud_gun[/url]) It fires at roughly 300mph, here are some pics: [IMG]http://i40.tinypic.com/2h3wu84.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i43.tinypic.com/mx25ie.jpg[/IMG] What i want Facepunch to decide is what shall i fire out of it, and what shall i fire it at? The barrel is about 5cm (50mm) wide I will video all the things i fire, probably this weekend/start of next week (i've got family over this week and will possibly need to go out and buy the ammunitions) [B]Ammo so far:[/B] Pritt Sticks Rice Krispies Golfballs Pringle rocket Pens Batteries (possibly) Paint balls Smoke bombs [B]Targets so far:[/B] Wood Old computer Gnome Cans/bottles Watermelon Done a test video, it doesn't look as good as it actually is. I had to do it all myself so i had to leave the camera quite close to it.

Syringes.
Launch yourself.
How big is the diameter? I'm thinking a can of pop or a beer bottle....

Rice Krispies Treats.
Pritt Sticks
[QUOTE=Wilsonwiz;20682580]I'm not 5cm wide[/QUOTE] Fix it then. Make a funnel thing you can sit in while someone else operates the launcher.
can of pop
golfballs
Your penis. You did say 5cm wide afterall

a warm potato, oh and fire it into a wall for ultimate splattery
Shoot water balloons at your neighbours and their kids.
[QUOTE=Xyrec;20682678]a warm potato, oh and fire it into a wall for ultimate splattery[/QUOTE] Sure. Water balloons explode in the barrel :(
[QUOTE=GreaseGunner;20682686]Shoot water balloons at your neighbours and their kids.[/QUOTE] The balloon will just explode in the barrel.
My attention span.
Jarate
Potatoes?
A stig doll or an apple, just to see the shock waves or summat.
A few pens
Batteries
[QUOTE=YoMother;20682753]Find a good stick, cut it into stakes and fire that into shit and film the hit. In slow motion if you can. Would be awesome to see the stake get fragmented.[/QUOTE] Good idea. I will only be filming it with a 10 mega pixel camera, but i will see if any of my friends can lend me a proper camera.
A pringles tube, take the lid off and put the top in first, then make a cone out of paper for the bottom for a little more aero dynamics. Hell, maybe add a few fins.
