So any of you guys ever make potatoe guns? My friend and I made some nice ones last year before the 4th of July. This year we are going to have an all out potatoe gun making party. We had one come apart on us once, but we were drunk as hell so it was kinda funny (bare in mind I was the one pulling the trigger so I didn't laugh so much when I almost caught fire) . We have been using hairspray as fuel, but were thinking maybe propane would work good. My friend has a big bottle of nitrous oxide in his garage that we were thinking of testing out.

Yea I have always used hairspray, the nitro would prolly blow the gun to bits, but who knows.
