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:

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.

Fix it then. Make a funnel thing you can sit in while someone else operates the launcher.

These are the only serious ones so far, i will try and get these and try. Chances of the Pritt Stick sticking to whatever i fire it at are zilch though
a warm potato, oh and fire it into a wall for ultimate splattery
Shoot water balloons at your neighbours and their kids.

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.
[QUOTE=Craptasket;20682752]A few pens[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=PjaNoo^;20682762]Batteries[/QUOTE]
Nice ideas, but what would i fire them at?
