[23:34] <Eckels> remember my potato gun?
[23:34] <moosleep> Yes
[23:35] <Eckels> last night we tried a shot in the dark to see if there was a flame
[23:35] <Eckels> so we took a video of it
[23:35] <moosleep> 😮
[23:36] <cronic> mount that gun to the truck
[23:36] <cronic> youre to be our last line of defense
[23:36] <Eckels> this is just a freeze frame of the video
[23:36] <Eckels> but it's sick
[23:36] <moosleep> Gonna throw my clothes in the dryer real quick.

[23:37] <cronic> that screams america fuck yeah!
[23:37] <cronic> nice
[23:37] <Eckels> in the video at like 1/8th slow-mo.... there's an explosion that makes the whole gun glow from back to front as it fires
[23:37] <cronic> rockets red glare mufuggas
[23:37] <Eckels> it's fucking amazing
[23:38] <Eckels> that is a true undoctored photo
[23:38] <Eckels> hair spray and taters
[23:38] <cronic> we have a potato cannon that we decided to use for large bottle rockets
[23:38] <cronic> after about 30 miutes the whole thing caught fire
[23:38] <Eckels> lol
[23:38] <Eckels> well to be honest
[23:39] <cronic> one window was lost and someone fucked up their hand pretty bad
[23:39] <cronic> fortunatly no one noticed erither
[23:39] <Eckels> after seeing this video in slowmo and knowing that the entire barrel explodes with a glow that makes it radiate...
[23:39] <Eckels> i'm not sure i want to hold this thing close and fire it anymore
[23:39] <cronic> well maybe with like paintball gear
[23:39] <cronic> mask an shit
[23:39] <Eckels> egad no
[23:39] <cronic> heh
[23:39] <Eckels> what would be the fun of that
[23:40] <cronic> walkin away
[23:40] <cronic> it's a blast if ya do it right
[23:40] <cronic> safely anyway
[23:40] <Eckels> nah, this is probably the hundred and fiftieth shot out of this cannon
[23:40] <cronic> you gotta kid to think about bro ...it's about time you thought padding
[23:40] <Eckels> i'll make a new one soon anyway
[23:41] <cronic> heh fair enough
[23:41] <Eckels> oh we dont shoot people
[23:41] <Eckels> this thing would kill anything
[23:41] <moosleep> That is fucking awesome.

That is pretty slick

I never got around making my gun and its prolly a good thing too. All the shit that I could get into with it lol

Lol, what were you aiming at? Please tell me you destroyed something.

That thing looked like it got pretty hot? Didn't it burn ur hands?

Man, that picture's dark. At first, I looked at it and said "It's a rocket!" but then my brother tilted the screen a little and then I said "It's a gun!" Wow, that's pretty cool.

Ah potato cannons. What a fun yet pointless thing to do. I've got a friend that has several in his garage. One has like a 8 foot long barrel. And it just uses air, no chemical reaction. It's all neat at first but then I tend to think, fuck that, make your own actual cannon. Cast iron balls to shoot out of it or whatever. Or just buy a real firearm.
