Well those of you who think that the and the potato cannon are the same, are absolutely correct about their notion.
A or 'spudzooka', is nothing but a potato cannon, which essentially constitutes of a pipe supported cannon which uses either air pressure (pneumatic), or combustion (ignition) of a gaseous fuel, to launch a projectile at a high speed.So, principally there are two types of, one being the combustive type and the other being the pneumatic type, however both the guns essentially use a high amount of pressure to propel a spud or potato in the air."What is the exactly made off"Regardless of whether combustive or pneumatic, both the guns have a similar embodiment, comprising of PVC pipe, a chamber in which gas reaches a high pressure, a barrel for the projectile, and a particular type of a type of firing mechanism.Also, the barrel of the spudgun's sharp end, behaves like a knife shaving off the excess potatoes while loading them.Most importantly, it is imperative to mention, that it is the method for creating the high-pressure what differentiates a combustive from a pneumatic. A combustion-based, essentially uses a flammable vapor produced by the ignition of a fuel-air mixture present in the chamber, resulting in an explosion, creating a large volume of hot gas, which consecutively pushes the potato down the length of the barrel and then finally out there in the air.A pneumatic spud gun, on the other hand uses compressed air rather than flammable gas, that dumps the entire amount of air, pressurized in the chamber, just in the blink of an eye, sending your projectile down the barrel at a great velocity.Apart from the detailed specifications, as discussed above, most spud guns remain as barrel loading. The user forces a potato all the way down the length of a barrel using a pole or rod, besides some very few designs which allow breech loading, where a user can open the gun near the chamber and insert the potato there itself.Spud guns are crafted to fire chunks of potato, as a hobby, or to fire other sorts of projectiles, for a particular practical use, however the projectile can be dangerous and result in life-threatening injuries.Also, the barrel of the spudgun's sharp end, behaves like a knife shaving off the excess potatoes while loading them.Most importantly, it is imperative to mention, that it is the method for creating the high-pressure what differentiates a combustive spud gun from a pneumatic spud guns.
