Wicked How-To’s

Yeah, ok, sure why not? I came across this right after putting up the bit on how to print a t-shirt, it’s the same guys doing this, and they do a good job of it. Now, if it were me I’d shoot something other than a t-shirt out of it, like, ohh…say, a potato? I’ve seen plans for an air-powered pneumatic potato


gun that’ll launch a spud out to over 600 meters (the regular ones that run on propane gas from hair spray will send one out to about 200 meters), so with a compressed air tank and a solenoid to handle the pressure, plus some alternate projectiles (potatos, full soda cans, etc.) I think you could have a LOT of fun with this thing

Some guy made a pneumatic golf ball cannon (lots of other cool stuff on that site, as well)–oh hell yes, you could have enormous fun with that (golf course? “FORE!!!”, yes? ).
