Product Information

Very good service, prompt delivery and great product, the Octopus kite. An immediate hit with granddaughters aged 8 and 11. Easily launched the kite despite bad weather and little wind. ... Read More The law on AIR GUNS has just changed, and there are now age limits. Tresspass with an air gun is criminal tresspass. The important thing is that if the cops want to press the issue, they can - they might not. They might just give you a warning and take it off you. However, they able to do more if they choose. A potato cannon is NOT considered a Firearm in the US, but it IS considered one here?I know, Gun Laws in the US are much, much less strict than they are here in the UK, and fair enough if governments have different considerations - but if a Potato Cannon is NOT considered a Firearm in the US, WHY is it in the UK?

Soldering: commonly used in the construction of copper pipe based spudguns, a solder with a lower melting point than the copper is melted and drawn into the gaps between pipe and fitting with capillary action, holding to pipe and fitting with a wetting action before hardening.They're considered a pressure bearing part of a firearm, so the VCR Act prevents their sale other than in face-to-face dealings. The highest projectile speed recorded from a spud gun is 933.3m/s (3,062ft/s) (approximately 2.7 times the speed of sound) with a 16.6-gram (256gr) 20mm plastic slug from a hybrid using a 20MPa (2,900psi) pre-ignition mixture of air and propane. [22] The piping and any reinforcement may be insufficiently strong for the high pressure spike when the dry ice bomb explodes and consequently ruptures. Notwithstanding all the other contributors, your pipe is a firearm under British law. It is an offence to discharge it near a highway. This is not a Health and Safety regulation or a civil law, it is the criminal law. Van Horn, Dale R. (October 1932). "Perform These STARTLING STUNTS with DRY ICE". Modern Mechanix and Inventions: 114–116 . Retrieved 15 August 2011.

The dry ice bomb used for propulsion can achieve bursting pressure in a matter of seconds to hours depending on the quantity of water and dry ice. If too little dry ice, it also may not achieve bursting pressure at all. These timing issues can cause belief that the cannon has failed to fire but attempting to unload the cannon may then provide the extra stress on the bottle needed for it to rupture. Metal welding: used to form strong joints between similar metals by melting the points of connection together. It is an uncommon process in spudgun construction due to the equipment necessary to make the welds. Gluing: the use of epoxy resin in small designs is common for the making of custom parts but it is rare to see glues used for structural connections. Epoxy resin is mostly used in applications where normal fittings would limit the possibilities. By the release of compressed gas (normally air) through a valve; such a launcher is typically referred to as a pneumatic launcher, and its power is limited primarily by the pressure of the air supply, be that from a compressor, manual pump or bottled gas.

It comes down to what you're doing with it and who you are. A young teen responsibly using a combustion spudgun will probably get talked down and the spudgun taken away.

In Iron Man 3, Tony meets a boy named Harley, who owns a potato gun which he uses to threaten Tony. At the end of the movie, as thanks for his help, Tony builds Harley a newer and better potato gun.A silencer could help to keep a low profile. Though Ragnarok may go explain the UK laws regarding silencers now, im not sure about their legality. Pneumatic line throwers for launching lines for rescue missions or between ships for replenishment at sea as well as a number of other applications. Getting shot in the head with an air rifle would easily penetrate the skull. Getting hit with a potato would be seriously dangerous and hurt but will not kill. Steel: The very high-pressure rating of steel piping makes it a familiar sight on high-powered hybrid cannons. It is however much more expensive than any other common piping material. The extra weight and joining difficulties are also a consideration.
