You mean like a potato gun? I have never heard it called a spud gun. It is a gun that you make out of pvc pipe and in the back you make a chamber with a flint igniter and you spray a shot of ether in it, turn the igniter and the potato shoots out. I made one that shot a potato about 300 yards at a 45 degree angle.

You mean a spud gun? That's kinda like those t-shirt cannons they use at ball games only it shoots out potatoes and that shyte comes out FAST! It can do serious damage to physical property and can really ruin your day if you're on the wrong side of one. Plenty of groups trying to get 'em banned. They're easy as heck to make.

EDIT: Lead, I've always heard 'spud gun' but you would know better than I would. I've never made one.

Whooo doggy! Now you guys are talkin' my language. Out here in the sticks, spud guns are pretty popular. My advice is to use the red potato. They are smaller, but much more dense and in turn go a lot farther.

Spud guns are great. My friends and I once built a spud cannon that could put a potato through a car door at 100 yards and once you knew how to fire it was pretty darn accurate.

I made a silenced one once, with a replacable barrel. They're fun to make, and fun to shoot. They're not exactly illegal (yet) they fall into some "Novelty Item" area for now, I think. I had a golf ball barrel, an onion barrel (they didn't shoot so well), a brussel sprout barrel, and one that shot radishes.
