We built a propane one with a 3.5inch barrell. Packed in nicely, it put a castle nut through 1.5inch chip board. Launched apples out of sight, accross
fields. Shot potatoes through car windows (scrap cars) and it was loud!!
Will have to find pictures.
Had many hours of fun with it untill the barrell blew to pieces!
Seriously not a toy.

Wicked pieces of kit, if anybnody tries i'd suggest sticking with hairspray.
Its hard to get the mixture right with lighter gas, and just that little bit more dangerous me thinks!.
If ya stick with hairspray they fire many thousands of shots with no signs of damage.

Im sure there was a thread on here not so long ago explaining that when you burn brake cleaner, it produces a gas not disimilar to mustard gas.
So probably not the best fuel!

No that I would ever suggest somebody trying such an irresponsable thing 
But I should imagine oxy-acetalyne would be quite good

Probably not very good in a contraption made from PVC drain pipe. I think that would be called a fragmentation grenade...
Oxy-acetylene in a bin liner, ignited by a glowing welding rod makes an impressive noise and shock wave. Also gives good hearing damage if ears not
protected...

I love the legality issues comment on the website. 'If it's OK to fire a shotgun in your location it's probably OK to fire the
spudgun' Rules out most of the UK!

Dont use Rainwater Pipe... use the DW40 sewer / drains pipe (I think its the Brown type pipe) (A BIG ?? on the actual number / type) as its much
heavier grade..
Search around the net as there are many references to the best grade of pipe to use especially if using gas explosions to power it. Search on the net
for Spud gun.. there are references to the best type of pipe.
Just take care.
PLEASE THINK SAFETY FIRST.
They are great fun... but get it wrong, and a facefull of high speed chards of brittle plastic will shred your face quicker than a cheese grater.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
