Weird Designs for Spuguns

This one's pretty cool. I made it today (8-2-00) and it's one powerful SOB. I tried using potatoes, but the pressure was too high and came out the lid. Then I got a great idea. SPITWADS. Well, with this in mind I made the preparations. I filled the chamber full of propane. I inserted spitwads in to the barrel(s). Now, who/what should I shoot it at? Well, my sister volunteered (not really) so I aimed it and fired. I SWEAR I didn't know how powerful it was! Well, it ended up shooting 2 foot flames (I'm serious!) out of the barrels. Luckily, they missed her, but still that wasn't the worst part. One spitwad ended up hitting her in the head and she started bawling. REMEMBER I SWEAR I DIDN'T KNOW HOW POWERFUL IT WAS! Well, it ended up being one of those real cries and I could tell it really hurt so I decided not to fire it at anymore people.

First, take the lid of the bottle and cut a hole just wide enough to let the BBQ ignitor through it. Make sure you cut the plastic part too that puts a better seal on the bottle. When you are finished, put the ignitor through and put the ring on it. If you try to use a pop-in one and it works, e-mail me and tell me because I am eager to know. Right now you should be done with the lid.

To make the barrels, take the pen casings (BIC is the best) and drill holes just a tiny bit smaller than it. Then, put some glue or epoxy around the edges of the hole and put the casing inside. After that, reinforce the barrels by putting glue/epoxy where the barrel is inserted. Repeat to have as many barrels as desired. In the end you should have this.

Insert spitwads (make sure they aren't made out of that stiff paper you use for the printer so use notebook paper). Open the lid and fill with .5 to 1 seconds of propane. Close the lid and push the button. I recommend wrapping a whole lotta duct tape around it. That's my solution to everything, except today because I was all out and had to use masking tape. Also, make sure the barrels do not move much, and there is an airtight seal around where the barrel(s) meets the chamber.

If you decide to make this, you might want a little warning. The lid is not threaded which causes, if the pressure is too high, a leakage or complete evacuation of the gas in the chamber. I have been burned with the fuels burned in the chamber (not from this though) and just to let you know, it burns at about 1000ºF and stings because of the chemicals used in the explosion. I knew it would happen to me sometime and it wasn't as bad as I thought. Well anyway, this leakage has one pro and one con. The pro is that it would prevent the bottle from exploding. That is bad. That is very bad. On the other hand the gas could burn your hand if you held it around the rim of the cap. To be completely safe, you should not build this. To be safer than usual, wear some type of fire resistant gloves. To be more dangerous (I know I like to be hahaha) put some masking tape around the rim of the bottle to hold the pressure better. If you decide to do this, I recommend wrapping duct tape around the chamber to help hold or at least contain the explosion.

Well, it ended up being one of those real cries and I could tell it really hurt so I decided not to fire it at anymore people. Well, if you want to make your own then you need these things: A prescription bottle (the orange kind) preferably a larger one 1-4 pen casings that are straight. Choose the number you want to how many barrels propane (works the best) hot glue gun OR epoxy preferably BBQ Ignitor that has threads OR just a pop-in one First, take the lid of the bottle and cut a hole just wide enough to let the BBQ ignitor through it. Make sure you cut the plastic part too that puts a better seal on the bottle. When you are finished, put the ignitor through and put the ring on it.
