Potato cannoniers are special people in that they seek (and find) the joys of a 14 or 15 year old. Not enough people seek joy like this fun video shows.

We used to make these with pop cans and duct tape. Cut out each end of the can with a can opener, duct tape together. Make a special combustion chamber out of the first can by making triangle can opener cuts around from the pull top opening and then on the other end put one pinhole in the center. Square lighter fluid in and shake the cannon. Light with match and shoot! Our favorite projectiles were tennis balls. Now you got me itching to make one again! Hahahah

Make sure to check your local laws. In several States a (combustion) powered potato cannon is considered a firearm? In most cities across the United States, they are illegal. Can result in charges and always results in confiscation. You can get in a world of trouble for using one in the wrong place! Make sure to check local laws!
