    They are selling the weirdiest things!!
    I think this is my favourite to date!



    Potato Gun PVC Assembly - no FAL required


    Current bid: $51.00 | Closes: 10 hours



    Brand New Item

    You are bidding for a high-pressure PVC pipe assembly that could easily be converted into a potato gun with the addition of a piezo ignition.

    After loading a potato into the sharpened barrel the combustion chamber is fuelled with deodorant, engine starter, hairspray, air freshener or similar propellant.

    The end cap is then screwed on and the propellant ignited with the pushbutton piezo ignition. The rapid burning of the fuel inside produces high pressure that forces the potato out at high velocity.

    Full instructions are supplied and details of where to get and how to install a piezo igniter.

    Specifications
    Combustion Chamber 350mm x 100mm
    Barrel 900mm x 50mm
    Bevelled barrel tip
    PVC Rating Class D (178 PSI)

    Performance
    Firing Angle 45 degrees
    Propellant Deodorant
    Distance 200+ metres

    To make this device from stock parts would cost in the order of $170, if you were to pay trade prices at the plumbing shop. Add to that the expense of buying minimum lengths of pipe, specialist tools and other materials etc.

    BY BIDDING ON THIS AUCTION YOU AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING (DISCLAIMER)
    That if this product is converted into a potato gun the owner holds a Firearms License to possess and use the potato gun. That it will not be used in a dangerous manner or used to destroy public or private property. That it will not be used in a public place. That the user is responsible for all safety aspects while using this device. That the seller is not liable for any loss, damage or injury as a result of using this device. That it will not be purchased by anyone under the age of 18.

    PAYMENT AND SHIPPING
    Our preferred method of payment is by bank deposit to account 12-3220-0052279-03. If possible make the reference the same as this auction number, this will ensure your order is processed quickly. The amount should be your bid plus postage.

    Goods are sent by NZ Post, or by courier at extra cost.
