Potato Cannon - V3. This is the best cannon I've come up with to date. Receiving some inspirado during a trip to the hardware store, this design was conceived on the spot, assembled and tested in about 3hrs. It takes the versatility of interchangeable barrels and adds an ergonomic design to the chamber. It also gets a better punch and takes less saw work to assemble. A nice patriotic backdrop for the cannon. Here's a materials list:. 2" Female Cleanout Adapter. 4" Female Cleanout Adapter. To the end, all...

Ammo [nodice.org]
http://potatocannon.nodice.org/ammo.html
Waldo and I conducted several tests on different types of ammo, here are our findings and suggestions. FREE, fun to launch, easy to load. Catches wind easily, slow, not very accurate. FREE, pretty accurate, easy to obtain and load. Possibly the best ammo, makes a great seal, flies far and fast, pretty cheap, lots of fun. None that we found. Best produce next to potato, cheap. A little less fun than a potato. A little fun to launch. Too messy, too soft, hard to load, messily explodes upon launch.
