we have all heard of a potato cannon right?
how about a radish pistol?
22" long 1" dia. pvc pipe bushed up to a 3" y fitting. The y made a nice pistol grip. Caps on both open ends of the y. One for the propellent. The other for the igniter. Get the picture? the question is ....if you ever made one of these bad boys and let someone shoot you in the back from 10 feet (you would be wearing a sweatshirt leather vest and leather jacket for protection) and you got a welt on your back twice the size of an egg that lasted two weeks. Would you keep it to yourself or would you go to yahoo answers and see if there was someone else as stupid as you???

i knew a guy in college that made a zip gun from a 6 inch piece of .25" plumbing pipe and an endcap with a hole drilled a little bit offcenter. it sunk a .22 bullet deep into a solid wood door at the end of the hall in the dorms. it would penetrate a sweatshirt and leather vest no problem.

I have never heard about one before, but they sound delightful. I know what im going to do this weekend. perhaps i can carve carrots into bullets and examine the ballistic properties of such a projectile.
