I liked that episode. There is a lot of information that I got out of watching the video. Thanks for sharing.

Was it Dan Quayle's "potatoe" gun???

Awesome thanks for that!

Before you make your own "potato gun" you might want to check with your local law enforcement. Some believe they are illegal bazookas under the Texas Penal Code.

I recall years back in Austin some frats played some of their silly drunken games by firing potatoes at one another with potato guns. The Austin Police Department confiscated them.

Do not try this at home.

I had one back in high school. Those were the days.

He needs to shoot that thing through a chronograph to see if the end-chamber and mid-chamber ignitions make any performance difference. :)

Unless he can carefully calibrate the amount of propellant he is using to ensure identical energy profiles, I'd imagine it would be hard to draw too many conclusions.

I made a few of these growing up. Not the smartest thing I ever did...not the dumbest either! haha I survived the lost non-padded generation, where when you got hurt you were told to "rub some dirt on it and cowboy up!"

"One- Mississippi, Two-Mississippi" is a time-honored calibration method....
