I have made those before. I've also made matchbox bombs and tennis ball launchers.

I've seen them in action, but have NEVER seen anyone use gasoline for fuel. Usually something less volatile.

I have a 4 foot potato canon *evil grinz*. I can shoot it across a lake and hit a cottage...

I use any arosol I can get my hands on that burns (I run out of hairspray pretty fast)

I don't just put potatos in it.

Has anyone put cheesies in a paintball gun before? Warning: epileptic, uncontrollable laughter...
