Pocket Size Spud Gun

video Pocket Size Spud Gun

Today I'm going to show you my homemade Pocket Spud Gun. It even only cost $1 and takes only 15 minutes of time to build one your own. I use it to fool around with my classmates. Its so fast that a camera can't even capture the projectile (speed estimated around 150 km/h).

The video quality is too poor. I would like to make a request. Can you e-mail me the complete list of required items at rider.jake@yahoo.com. I'll be sure to notify you of my adjustments and upgrades.

Yes. Using hand alcohol and a igniter you can make a flash of flame inside the bottle caps.

Actually even here in our country it is used for new year. Our grandfathers used to build a giant version made from bamboo. My grandfather also uses a can as a projectile.
